A Deplorable who mimicked the derisive remarks of former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and brandished a handgun at immigration protesters in Alabama over the weekend was charged with menacing and reckless endangerment, AL.com reported Sunday.
Details of the altercation were also reported by The Washington Post
With a gun tucked into the waistband of his pants, Shane Ryan Sealy shouted womp womp and carried a sign that said ICE ICE baby as he walked in front of protesters gathered in Huntsville, Alabama, part of a nationwide series of marches on Saturday against the Trump administrations immigration policies.
As an Episcopal priest delivered a prayer at the protest, Sealy allegedly got into an altercation with a protester that began as a shoving match and escalated once Sealy drew his firearm.

It's pretty deplorable. Bolding is one thing. Changing words? Bad. And possibly problematic with what's allowed under copyright rules with posting excerpts.

I know Lewandowski said it. Other than that...

They revel in it. Glad to see this unhinged *responsible gun owner* was arrested.
