He
considers it justified. (Police don’t).
On 4 May, just before 11pm, an Uber driver pulled up to Mr Hollonbeck's Garcon Point home to drop his daughter off, Fox 35 Orlando reports. The daughter was reportedly still in the car when her father emerged from his house and approached with his AR-15 in hand.
Mr Hollonbeck allegedly forced the Uber driver out of his car and ordered him to the ground, according to the report.
The daughter told deputies her father was "acting crazy" and yelling while he waved his rifle around.
Deputies allege that Mr Hollonbeck pointed his rifle at the driver's face and screamed at him to leave his car while his daughter ran into his house. [and called the police, sounds like].
… “That vehicle was completely unmarked,” Mr Hollonbeck said. “I had no idea that, in my mind, this was not good, and everybody knows what’s going on in this country with fentanyl and child trafficking and rape. Terrible stuff.”
He…argued that his actions were justified under his “parental rights”.

It was a pizza delivery from Comet Ping Pong, so yeah, I can see his point.

Who wants to bet that the Uber driver wasn't a white guy?

I would never
dream of taking away one’s freedom to point an assault rifle in the face of random Uber drivers and take them to the ground.

Mr Hollonbeck, a retired US Army colonel, runs a nonprofit called "The War Horse Project" that connects individuals — primarily veterans — suffering from trauma with therapy horses, according to WEAR in Florida.

Sounds like he could use a little therapy himself.

In what world do people have the right to aim rifles at innocent people?
