The gathering at a park gazebo in Huntsville, Ala., was by no means the largest of Saturdays nationwide protests against President Trumps zero tolerance border policies, though it was memorable for other reasons.
It began around noon, as an Episcopalian priest delivered a prayer to about 100 protesters gathered around the gazebo and a man marched back and forth in front of her, shouting womp, womp!
Holy and ever-loving God . . . said the priest, Kerry Holder-Joffrion.
Womp, womp! said the man.
The man was parroting former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who had uttered the same sound on Fox News several days earlier during a discussion about migrant children being seized from their parents at the border. Lewandowskis sarcastic womp, womp revolted many people but also apparently inspired a certain segment of Trumps supporters, as the people at Big Spring Park were now discovering.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- A former Huntsville City Schools teacher is in custody after police said he pulled out a gun at a protest in Big Spring Park.
"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, a rally organizer. "We all dropped to the ground crying."
Lt. Michael Johnson of the Huntsville Police Department confirmed Shane Ryan Sealy, 34, was arrested Saturday and charged with menacing and reckless endangerment.
Huntsville City Schools spokesperson Keith Ward confirmed that Sealy previously taught at Grissom High School. Ward added Sealy has not worked for the school system in, "roughly two years." Ward later added that Sealy had only been a teacher there for around 8 weeks in 2016.

"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.
. . .
"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.
. . .
After police contained the situation, a ten year old girl was supposed to speak at the event. However, the young girl was so shaken she could not even recite her speech.
"She was too scared to stand up there now by herself, even with her mom next to her, so her mom read her little story," said Caldwell.

Pulling a gun is expressly a threat to your life and is legal justification for the use of deadly force.
Good thing he was white. Had he been Black the police might have handled the matter.
