White Man Pulls Gun on Black Homeowner He Accuses of Stealing Mail [VIDEO]

*A North Miami Beach man is being held in jail on no bond after being accused of spewing a racist rant at a Black man he accused of stealing his own mail. 

58-year-old Joseph Fucheck was caught on cellphone video threatening the man while armed with an Airsoft gun. Fucheck, a convicted felon, reportedly has a lengthy criminal history.

“He faces charges of aggravated assault with a firearm with prejudice and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, both second-degree felonies,” WSVN News 7 reports. 

“According to the arrest warrant, Dwayne Wynn, a Black man, was standing across the street from his home speaking to his neighbor when he saw a man in a red Jeep pull up and put something in his mailbox,” said the report.

“While Wynn was reading the card, which was an offer to buy homes for cash, the driver came back and confronted Wynn at gunpoint before yelling some racist remarks. ‘If it was your property, why didn’t you come over there?’ the man said while holding a firearm. ‘If it was your property, why didn’t you come over there?’”

“Is there a reason you have a firearm on you?” Wynn asks.

“Damn right I carry a motherf——  gun,” Fucheck responds.  The Airsoft gun he was holding shoots pellets, not bullets.

Fucheck fired off some racial slurs as he got back into his car and drove off.

His charge of aggravated assault is reportedly being enhanced as a hate crime. 

“There’s no other conclusion that one can draw other than this was racially motivated. He just, he really just lashes out at Mr. Wynn,” said Miami-Dade state attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. “There was no provocation. It’s going to be an enhanced penalty of a hate crime because clearly that all those violent acts were caused by that person’s racism.”
