A former Huntsville teacher, Shane Ryan Sealy, 34, allegedly showed up to counter protest. He exchanged words with another protestor and then pulled out a gun, according to WHNT News.

Other attendees described him as a “a lunatic counter protester” and praised police for quickly arresting him.

“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, the rally’s organizer. “We all dropped to the ground crying.”

Sealy was arrested before firing any shots. The police pointed out that he was not allowed to have a firearm within 1,000 feet of the protest.

4. Any DU members in the Huntsville area.

Call or write your state attorney. Encourage them to push for a felony charge.

Cause the he cannot legally have a firearm.

5. From WHNT in Huntsville:

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.

Nice crowd of protesters - good job, Huntsville!!

We can't let them stop us!

[George II]

11. THIS is what "elected" trump.

[Miles Archer]

21. "Good People On Both Sides"

Except this guy.

This is Trump's "normalization" of Charlottesville come home to roost.

[rockfordfile]

12. These trump supporters are idiots

[CentralMass]

15. That goes without saying

[MagickMuffin]

16. Dangerous Idiots

[Miles Archer]

22. He keeps holding these effing rallies and telling them they are "the best and the smartest"

And since they believe all of his other lies, they believe that one too.

[MagickMuffin]

25. Unfortunately they are extremely eager to be Gaslighted

It boggles my mind.

[catbyte]

18. More like dangerous fanatics. True Believers like him scare the hell out of me.

[Leghorn21]

13. More detailed article from WDAM:

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.

Attendees fell to the ground in fear for their lives.

"Somebody yelled 'Gun!' I saw the gun, him holding the gun. I started screaming for people to get down," said Ava Caldwell, another 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.

[7wo7rees]

[struggle4progress]

23. And they want to arm teachers?!?!?

Some people, no matter their profession, shouldn't have guns. Most people shouldn't. I guess this guy wasn't teaching when they had the debates over this issue after Parkland.

[C Moon]

24. His FaceBook page is scary.

His intro says "DOOMSAYER"
This guy's got issues. I hope they take away his guns.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

29. Probably have restrictions for a while.

At least whatever they typically give a white guy with a gun in Alabama (police would have shot a POC in this situation).

He should really be feared after he's released from jail.......

[Stonepounder]

26. Trump has said he could shoot someone in broad daylight and not suffer any repercussions.

I guess his followers figure he'll take care of them as well.

[geretogo]

27. Looks like one of Trumps Brown Shirts .

[pecosbob]

28. I don't know how Alabama state law works

but there should be a charge of making terroristic threats in there somewhere that prevents this person from ever possessing a firearm again.

[LudwigPastorius]

30. MNGA!

Make Neckbeards Great Again

[JCanete]

31. well thank God he wasn't black holding a cell phone. Some scenarios are diffusable, others are just

too damn volatile to take a chance.

That said, no hate at the officers in this case who appear to have handled this situation very well. Less trigger happy is always a good thing.

[SunSeeker]

32. Trump scum.

[Volaris]

33. Good thing he didn't get shot by the cops...

But there's no White Privilege, or anything...

[raccoon]

37. You sure got that right! NT

[smirkymonkey]

38. Unfortunately.

They would have been doing the world a favor. The color of his skin saved his miserable ass.

[DFW]

35. This is just the beginning

THIS time the Trumpanzee shot no one. This will not always be the case. It's just a matter of time.

[Scurrilous]

36. K&R

[lpbk2713]

39. Marco Rubio says anyone that wants a carry permit can have one.

Keep that in mind Floridians.

[raccoon]

40. Creeps me out just to look at his photo. nt
