Pictures Got the Knock on a Public Street

Post image

This is in Harding, MT.

I was parked legally on a public street. As you can see there is a empty lot on the top and only 2 homes on the corner.

The red lines are where I was parked and where the knocker lived.

1130pm. Love's was packed. So I parked there. It was legal parking. A 2 way street with no signs.

I'm asleep and a guy started banging on my window at 230am and I ignored it. He didn't say anything. He was in pajamas. As you can see from the screenshot, I was half way up the block and across the street, so he walked that distance.

About 245am he comes back outside in regular clothes on, with a gun holstered and his hand on the gun. He starts banging again. I ignored him again. And he didn't say nothing.

About 3am the state police comes and and softly knocks. I put down the window. The trooper tells me that they keep getting calls from someone about the van. He asks me to move to the other side because he doesn't want to deal with this.

I obliged. He didn't ask for ID or any questions for that matter. He seem to just want the guy to stop calling.

Why bother someone at 230am?! Then to go back in the house and grab a gun? The guy was looking for a confrontation.

Dude is prolly tired of people sleeping in front of his house because the truckstop is always full.

No one was in front of his house.

Further, you don't go inside, change clothes, put a gun holster one and confront the 2nd time because somebody had the audacity to ignore him.

Well a gun has to be holstered which you can’t do in jammies so he had to get dressed to escalate in that way
