A former Huntsville teacher, Shane Ryan Sealy, 34, allegedly showed up to counter protest. He exchanged words with another protestor and then pulled out a gun, according to WHNT News.
Other attendees described him as a a lunatic counter protester and praised police for quickly arresting him.
He pulled out a gun. I saw him holding it out in front of him. We just started screaming for everybody to drop to the ground, said Ava Caldwell, the rallys organizer. We all dropped to the ground crying.
Sealy was arrested before firing any shots. The police pointed out that he was not allowed to have a firearm within 1,000 feet of the protest.

(13,524 posts)At first he was just heckling, he had a sign, you know, 'deport everyone.' It wasn't an emergency at that point. But when he pulled out the gun things escalated really quickly," said Heather Resendez, co-organizer of the event.
Attendees fell to the ground in fear for their lives.
"Somebody yelled 'Gun!' I saw the gun, him holding the gun. I started screaming for people to get down," said Ava Caldwell, another co-organizer of the event.
"I saw him pull it out. He said 'I will shoot everybody here' so me and my people who were sitting the gazebo so we ran and laid down the in grass right here and we were yelling at people to get down, cause a lot of people over here didn't see this person, they didn't see he had a weapon," said Resendez.

(14,491 posts)At least whatever they typically give a white guy with a gun in Alabama (police would have shot a POC in this situation).
He should really be feared after he's released from jail.......

That said, no hate at the officers in this case who appear to have handled this situation very well. Less trigger happy is always a good thing.
