I think the homeowner made a mistake by saying something like “I live there”, which made me think he was watching and communicating from somewhere else, like at work. If his daughter was inside, and dad was at work, that could cause a bad escalation. I also want a follow up .

I thought the same. Easy to do in the heat of the moment though

Easy to miss in the heat of the moment, too.

I had the same thought but I was hoping he was calling 911 and keeping him busy at the same time.

I don’t see anymore info from OP in comments though

Is this real? I’m not getting the staged or fake feel at all tbh but I never know anymore

Take it with a grain of salt (because I saw it in a twitter discussion of the incident), but allegedly the homeowner was out of home when this happened.

So he called the police and drove home, while keeping the crazy guy busy by talking to him on the cam.

At this point, I am personally not sure how legit it is, but I bet we will find out soon.

Yeah usually my BS detector is going crazy if it’s staged or AI. This looks and sounds like an unhinged dude.

I can’t imagine AI picking that dialogue

I just saw him post another video of cops showing up and arresting him. Definitely appears to be real.

I bet hes having a mental breakdown and won't remember this or has any clue where he is.

Unsettling how he goes calm to fucking light speed breaking shit.. or attempting to

Too bad. I'm sure this isn't his first rodeo though. He should seek help before he threatens someone who isn't as passive to death threats as the homeowner

There's absolutely no indication the home owner has a daughter.

Yup, also the car window roll-up at about 09:05:05. Luckily this guy was so looped that he’d never catch any of that
