VIdeo of man firing a shot in Charlottesville

So, I guess this rally/riot could have been quite a bit worse. Here is video that has surfaced of a man firing on protesters who were using a paint can to create a flamethrower. HOW was this not out before now?

gizmodo.com...

This is pretty serious and again, I have said this before, you want to incite violence you are attracting violence.

Very lucky that NO one was shot. When this video hits the MSM it will be perfect fodder for the anti-2nd amendment argument.

You mean 2nd amendment.

And, do we know that he actually discharged the weapon? And if the answer is yes, do we know if the weapon was loaded with blanks?

Blanks or no blanks, carelessness has no place in gun safety.

do we know that he actually discharged the weapon?

My thoughts is the same WHAT was fired.

Seems to me they would have gotten the 'victim' on camera.

This snip out of control.

Flame throwers are deadly weapons.

Everyone knows boom sticks are.

Two wrongs make two retards.

Penalty box both sides.

can't find a ytube vid of the one embedded into twitter post.

Ha...nothing I don't see every 4th of July and NYE, in my urban neighborhood. One NYE, I had bullet holes through my patio awning and through my kid's ride-on toy in the back yard.

If I am home, I typically spend those holidays acting as a human shield to my children.

Look mom. One hand!

It would have been justified use of force against the felon commiting assault with an illegal lethal weapon flame thrower.

That's nothing to brag or be proud about.

Really how so? Protecting her kids is bad?...its not like she or he is firing the random shots

a reply to: Deny Arrogance

how do you know that the guy in the flame thrower wasn't trying to protect himself from what he saw as a threat??
this guy an interview, he says that he was trying to protect the old man behind him...

Yeah im just going to say that folks that got their training from video games and the syfy channel..dont have a chance at making a decision in combat

a reply to: dawnstar

WHAT ?

Who is stupid enough to think a flame thrower(spray can) is protection from a GUN ?

That's about as idiotic as bringin a knife to a gun fight.

a reply to: BlueJacket

uh so where did I say protecting her kids was bad?

The dismissal that this is nothing she doesn't see every 4th of July and NYE is what I was having a go at.

The man was being attacked by the WNs first off, he found the can on the ground and aimed it in defense. That was the only defense he had being caught up in that. I shared about this in earlier threads. They kept going after him.

As White Nationalist in Charlottesville Fired, Police ‘Never Moved’

Police had a suspect in the shooting in custody on Saturday morning, according to an official familiar with the investigation, who requested anonymity to provide information not yet public. But residents are still demanding to know why officers did not act in real time as heavily armed people fought and a car sped toward a crowd, killing a woman. So stark was the police failure to intervene, many participants in the protest and counterprotests believe it was by design.

...

“We saw plenty of video of officers stepping in to de-escalate situations,” Mr. Jones said.

Another extremist later lunged at Mr Long with a confederate flag and he fought back with a spray can he said he found on the ground, putting a lighter to the nozzle and turning it into a weapon.

read a little further, and...

“At first it was peaceful protest. Until someone pointed a gun at my head. Then the same person pointed it at my foot and shot the ground.”

to be honest, good thing he didn't have a gun... we probably would have had bullets flying all over the place and dead people on the ground!!!

What the hell is going on in this picture.
The old white guy is getting it in the stuff, by what appears to be a flower.
I am so confused.

Right because spray cans with flammable material just lie in the streets ALL the time.

as if.

Did I sound like I was proud or bragging?
