the staff of the Ridgewood
Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Police finally put an end to the speculation as to the previously reported Lenard Place incident. On June 24 at about 7pm, Ridgewood Police received a report of a man who felt threatened at the sight of a gun in a residence on Leonard Place. The Ridgewood Police responded with appropriate caution until they could determine there was no active threat.
For that they called in back up?
I know that we live in a bubble, but that is sad.
Sounds like someone got swatted.
Amazing how all you uninformed citizens seem to know exactly what the police are supposed to do. First of all, I am sure that all the details were not released because of the investigation. Second, how loudly would you have screamed if something bad had happened? The police handled this exactly right. No one got hurt. Thank you to Ridgewood’s finest. And no, I am not a cop, I am not married to a cop, there are no cops in my family. I just support the cops. Period. End of sentence.
O WELL, BETER TO BE SAFE.
Adult snowflake trigger warning. sees a means of self-protection that spontaneously could blow at any moment and calls daddy to make it all better. What a nanny state nightmare.
“…Ridgewood Police received a report of a man who felt threatened at the sight of a gun in a residence …”
What exactly does that mean?
.
Who was the man? Was he a guest? A mid-divorce spouse causing trouble? An Alzheimer patient who forgot that he owned a gun? A new homeowner who uncovered a gun stashed in a wall when he was doing some remodeling?
Also…
Was the gun just sitting there? was it holstered? was someone holding it? was it in a properly locked gun safe (but just knowing it was in the house was causing anxiety)?
Also…
Was there a legal registered gun owner in the building properly licensed for a this legal gun?
Also…
Was it a legal gun? was it a hand gun? a rifle? an illegal assault weapon?

Ha Ha.
The snowflake who felt threatened at the sight of a gun in the residence (which I will risk an assumption and say was not pointed in his direction) must have dirtied his pants when he saw the firepower trained on him (trained on the house he was in).
