“Do not stand there and tell me what to do in my own fucking country, c—. It is my country” the neighbour said.
The exchange quickly escalated, with the assailant hurling a string of expletives and racial slurs and even threatening violence.
“I’ll go in and get my gun and I’ll f—ing shoot you,” he said.
Brandon, fearing for his safety, recorded the entire ordeal on his phone.
“I feel fear because he’s bigger than me, maybe he’s drunk, he has beer bottles. Yes, I feel a lot of fear,” he said.
