Couple who pulled guns on Black mother and daughters charged with felony assault

[tenderfoot]

A white couple from Clarkston, Michigan, was arrested and charged with a felony after a video showed the woman pointing a gun at a Black mother and her two daughters.

Jillian Wuestenberg, 32, and Eric Wuestenberg, 42, were taken into custody on Wednesday, the same day they got into an altercation with the family at a Chipotle in Orion Township.

The Oakland County Prosecutor's Office announced Thursday that the Wuestenbergs were charged with felonious assault.

The mother and daughters told deputies that the Wuestenbergs threatened them with firearms.

The Wuestenbergs were arraigned on the charges Thursday and each was given a $50,000 personal bond. As part of the bond conditions, they have to surrender all firearms and are prohibited from leaving the state. It's not clear if they have obtained attorneys.

Eric Wuestenberg was an employee at Oakland University. The school said in a statement Friday to NBC News that it found "his behavior unacceptable" and he has since been fired.

Gonna be hard to find a good university job with a record of felonious assault. Hope he lands a nice part-time gig in fastfood.

7. Sarcasm alert (the recoil can be worse than the action)

If convicted of a felony, they lose their 2nd amendment right to brandish and threaten with a gun.

This is totally unacceptable. The right to be an asshole with a gun may not be inhibited (sic). And this is sick.
Gun possession seems to cause inhibitions to drop like a spent shell, cartridge (call it what you will to make the uninhibited happy).

Whenever anything triggers the need to respond needlessly, that shows one has too much ego in their hand.
