Is there a better article?
This one makes it sound like the car got stuck, then she 'presented her weapon'. Nothing in the article actually indicated that her presentment of her pistol was the cause for the stoppage of the rampage. Not even 'he was going to start moving again until she showed up' type of announcement.
Maybe he stopped trying to accelerate to free his car? I'll take it and I feel she at least helped and so do the people at the scene and the cops. I saw good for her.That was my thought. According to this article her actions had no effect on the outcome of the situation. She certainly didn't stop anything from happening.
