An Oregon woman was captured on video holding a suspected arsonist at gunpoint on Saturday after she allegedly caught him on her property carrying only matches.

The woman, Kat Cast, can be seen in the video parking her car, grabbing a gun, and approaching the suspect as he is crossing a road.

“Get on the floor, right now, face down! What are you doing on my property?” Cast shouts at the man. “Did you light anything on fire?”

When the man tells her he was “just passing through,” she asks why he is holding matches. The man tells her the matches were for smoking, but he later admitted he had no cigarettes. Cast holds him at gunpoint until police arrive......

Cont'd....

Wonder why the cops have such a hard time detaining suspects, lol?

He looks like a meth head. Curious as to what area he's in. He's damn lucky she didn't just shoot him first, then ask questions later. These country people get really funny about "strangers" on their lands. Yes, even here in Oregon, as you can see from the video. Even I've been questioned while waiting for crews to show up when parked off to the side of the road. Once we explain what's up. They tell us to stay safe.
The oranges of the island are like blazing fire
Amongst the emerald boughs
And the lemons are like the paleness of a lover
Who has spent the night crying.

This was up by me. One of the responding cops was from Oregon City. Clackamas County was there as well...

I read some place where she told the guy that if her husband had caught him, he would have been shot.

So a man will get shot just for carrying matches? I mean whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Sure question the man or call the police but Jesus some people are getting a bit unhinged. Its not like he walked along with a can of gasoline and a propane torch.
