Deplorable who yelled 'womp womp' and allegedly pulled gun on protesters arrested

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 administration’s 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.

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