– A man is facing up to three years in prison after allegedly pulling a gun on a bystander near a mural of Black Lives Matter in Martinez, Calif., CNN reports. According to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office, 30-year-old Joseph Osuna was driving by the 7,000-square-foot mural July 5 when he got out of his Jeep Wrangler and yelled at people standing near it. “He rolled by us and yelled at everybody and flipped us off, so I got on my skateboard just kinda followed him to get the plates,” a witness says. “He made a U-turn, came back at me and pointed a gun in my face, said ‘You want to do something?’ That’s it, a cop was behind him, immediately pulled him over, thank God.” Police say they found a loaded revolver in Osuna’s car. He was arrested and charged with unlawful firearm activity and possessing a firearm not registered to him.
