And if he was just pointing it around indiscriminately at trees or whatever, I'm still not gonna rip them for that. How were they to know that:

A) It wasn't an actual rifle?
B) He's not some certifiably insane man who's hallucinating/trying to decide what to shoot/etc?

Also, I think the man in the last paragraph is saying that it's scary to have the police come swarming in and pulling out a reportedly armed man. Can't really fault him on that, either. Sorry Kazoo but I'm either missing something or in disagreement here. Doesn't help that the article is written like an ESL paper.
He was saying it's scary someone with a possible gun is in the parking lot. You know. The typical , It's such a quiet neighborhood mentality.

With my girlfriend and baby, it's just kind of scary, you know?"
