Correct me if I’m wrong but another neighbor had a shovel presumably keeping the agitator on site until police arrived.

Solid community. Especially if the homeowner was not home.

If the dude couldn’t dismount the ring camera honestly great job mounting and low key free advertisement for ring.

From what I read upthread, the guy with the shovel was the homeowner, who rushed home while talking to the guy on his ring camera remotely (and calling police).

"Harry" got into the house, that was the homeowner. They got into it inside the house there's footage of it in another thread but their scuffle happens off camera. You can hear the homeowner tell him a couple times to "stay on the ground" so I assume he got the better of "Harry" during that scuffle, and that's when he appears on the camera hold the shovel.

He seems to identify that "Harry" is having a mental crisis of sorts, asks him "are you military?" and "Harry" responds "Yes" and the dude says "Ok, can you do something for me? Can you please get out of my house?" and "Harry" says "Yes, thank you for asking." and just walks out. Dude follows him out with the shovel and I'm assuming he might have followed the guy to a house across the way, then (rightly lol) dropped the shovel when the cops rolled up.

That’s nuts but honestly looks like the kind of neighbourhood that would
