Well, that went up in smoke.

Kat Cast, the woman in the viral video, said she might not be “as nice as I was.”

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

The Daily Mail reported that Cast claimed the suspect threatened to start a fire. The news website said Cast took to Facebook to describe the interaction. She said that she discovered him walking on her property, walked him out into the street and “when we got to some asphalt ground on the main road [where I] made him lay down while cops arrived.”

The report said that it is unclear if the man in the video was charged with any crimes.

Fox News reported that the Evergreen State has had looting, which has compounded the tragedy as residents try to evacuate.

“If I need to do this again to protect my family and my neighbors, I will in a heartbeat do it again, except this time I will not be as nice as I was,” she said.
