Charlottesville video surfaces showing white supremacist shooting pistol at protester
Video has surfaced from the Charlottesville rally/riot that shows a white supremacist asshole pulling out a pistol and saying “Hey n*****.” Then, pointing his pistol directly forward, he tries to shoot that pistol at someone. But his safety is on. After he takes the safety off, he thinks better and points the pistol toward the ground and shoots. The New York Times has the video care of the Virginia ACLU, and doesn’t quite report exactly what happened—which is peculiar.
To make his escape, a video recording shows, the armed protester strolled past a line of about a dozen state police troopers who were safely positioned about 10 feet away behind two metal barricades. None of them budged.
“We all heard it and ran — I know damn well they heard it,” said Rosia Parker, a community activist in Charlottesville. “They 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.
Maybe they cannot say that this was an alleged attempted murder on the part of the man in the video, but it sure seems that way. The fact of the matter is if that guy was black and he had an ounce of weed on him he might end up in jail for a decade . The case that white supremacist groups should be treated similarly to Islamic terrorist groups domestically is very strong. Video like the one in Charlottesville makes you wonder whether that would even matter if law enforcement is already too compromised.

Man accused of firing gun at Charlottesville rally among three charged with violence
Richard Wilson Preston, 52, is charged with discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet on a school, related to an incident at the 100 block of West Market Street, next to Emancipation Park. He was arrested Saturday and in custody in Towson, Maryland.
Now I think he should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law he broke. I don't think you'll find anyone on this site who will disagree with that. Furthermore, I don't think there are any "Alt-Right" people on this site either. I don't think there are any "White Supremacists" on this site. I don't think there are any "KKK" members or supporters of them on this site.
I'm glad they caught this fellow on video, were able to identify him and put him in jail. There's no defending this man from anyone that I know from the right, left or all points in between. If there is, please speak up.
Now what do you think about the fellow with the blow torch aiming it at all the people coming down the steps? What do you think should be done to him?
Well he's mentioned in a New York Times article, but misrepresented by them.
Photos showed that Mr. Long had been using an improvised torch to spar with a man carrying a flagpole when the shot was fired.
Only if you have impaired vision will you miss the fact before Mr. Long started sparring with the man with the flag pole, Mr. Long was already holding a torch aimed at all the people coming down the stairs. I don't have it here, but I've seen where Mr. Long had that torch going for quite some time. I've seen it and will have to find it again. And if you look at the video Bob put up, take a look at all those people coming down the stairs and walking by the man who pulled the gun out and shot the ground. Do you honestly think all those people and children are any of the derogatory names the MSM has told you? The New York Times only has that one sentence above in their entire article at the link above, which is so dishonest of them by they way they are manipulating the news.
And the New York Times has more dishonest reporting going on when they describe .....
The attack started because white supremacists had tried to “spear” one of Mr. Harris’s friends with a flagpole, and Mr. Harris tried to knock the pole away, the lawyer said. Suddenly Mr. Harris, an aspiring rapper, was rushed by more than a dozen men and fell backward. The video showed Mr. Harris on the ground being pummeled.
Can you honestly say you believe that one man put his life in danger attacking what looks like a dozen other people by himself. The video doesn't show the seconds before he was over in front of them, but he must have been some kind of fool to run over with a flag pole with a dozen people waiting for him or anyone who believes that may want to take a look at themselves to see if they aren't being fooled.
Now is this the same fellow, Deandre Harris is trying to knock the pole away, according to the New York Times, but if you look at the video, the pole is nowhere near the man's head in the video below, which is exactly where Deandre Harris is aiming. The New York Times should really be ashamed of themselves for their dishonest reporting of the incident.
Here is one more video and it is from Infowars. I know how much some of you like Infowars, but it is a video of Charlottesville and if you want to say they are not credible, then that is fine. If you look at it you will showing you are open to seeing all sides and not set in your ways so much you can be manipulated.
After looking at the video above, I was intrigued by what the man said at the end of it when he started talking about the Vice Mayor, so I did a little investing and here's what I found out.
Wes Bellamy, Vice-Mayor
Homophobic, sexist, anti-white language abundant in Charlottesville vice mayor's tweets

You see, there are always more sides to a story than one side presents to you. If you really want to know the truth, then you must take it upon yourself to do your own investigating.
It's going to be fun listening to our alt-right members explain that this is équivalent to... something... on the counter-protesters' side.
One side kills, the other doesn't... But hey! Equivalence!
