Gunfire was exchanged between a group of activists and Bedford County residents Monday night, police say, resulting in one activist sustaining non-life-threatening injuries from the shooting.
Someone even admitted in the video they shot back. Cino keeps standing there and gets grazed in the face/cheek.
Why protest in the hills on a dark road with absolutely nothing but private property around midnight?

Oh dear this is really getting tragic.
Look folks if you all gotta act like terminators please try to remember one simple rule that has been a staple of armed conflict -
DO NOT FIRE UNTIL FIRED APON.
Do that and the need for all you wanna be terminators will rapidly deplete.

Come visit me in rural sw Wisconsin and tell me what you'd do if approached like these people in Bedford county Pa.There's nobody within 500 yards or more for me to yell help to !

Bedford County borders Fulton County, where I spent my first 18 years of life.
I have to say that trespassing and refusing to leave, then destroying private property isn't tolerated well in that neck of the woods.
The guy that was shot is on videotape admitting that they did not leave when they were told to leave, and they did fire a weapon at the resident.

So far this is happening only in Democratic run states. I expect the person who defended themselves after being shot at will be prosecuted and sent to jail in a Democratic run area because in those states liberals, BLM and ANTIFA can do whatever the heck they want and be supported as peaceful protestors who are innocent and need understanding.

While the Governor is a Dem, the big cities of Philly and Pittsburgh elected him. People outside those areas are generally conservative and don't put up with the #BLM-like stuff. Had things escalated, it wouldn't have been just warning shots with birdshot and there would be a great deal of protestor blood and spare parts laying around

Correct.
I know that Fulton County, PA is predominately Democrat, but has voted overwhelmingly for the Republican nominee for POTUS since 1980.
People there wish that Governor Wolf had never been elected and would like to have him removed from office.
