Man Arrested After Brandishing Gun, Shouting "Womp Womp" at Immigration Protesters

Saturday saw nationwide protests over Donald Trump"s family separation policies — you know, the ones that Melania doesn"t really care about.

One of these protests was marred by counter-protesters who support the child internment camps.

When a counter-protester who had been shouting "womp womp" brandished a gun, however, things got downright scary.

The Keep Families United protest in Huntsville, Alabama was admittedly not the nation"s largest.

It took place at a gazebo in a park. It comprised of only 100 or so protesters.

Episcopal priest Kerry Holder-Joffrion was a speaker at the protest, where she delivered a prayer.

"Holy and ever-loving God …" she said, only for her words to be punctuated and interrupted by 34-year-old Shane Ryan Sealy.

Sealy, a counter-protester, would answer her words with "womp womp!"

"Womp womp" is, in a vacuum, simply a phrase to say when mocking someone else"s misfortune.

Famously, it was used in recent weeks by Trump surrogate Corey Lewandowski, who used the phrase to mock the story of a 10-year-old girl with Down Syndrome being separated from her family.

It seems clear that, as Sealy chanted that phrase, he was mocking the suffering of thousands of innocent children in Trump"s internment camps.

He was also carrying a sign that read "ICE ICE Baby," the title of a Vanilla Ice song (the one with the conspicuously similar music to "Under Pressure").

The sign was clearly a reference to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, the organization founded in 2003 that has recently become so controversial that some of its own members wanted it disbanded.

Seaily"s thoughts on human rights may be horrifying, but they"re not cause for arrest.

Brandishing a gun, however, was another matter.

According to police, Sealy is accused of having picked a fight with one of the Keep Families United protesters and of then pushing the protester.

Police say that, when a protester responded by pushing him back, Sealy produced a pistol from out of his waistband.

"Gun, gun, gun, gun!" someone in the audience cried out in alarm.

Rally organizer Ava Caldwell described her reaction: "I got down on my face on the other side of the gazebo right here and just cried, I was so in shock."

That sounds absolutely terrifying. Any public gathering, but especially a political one that aims to oppose Trump"s policies, could be a potential target for a shooting.

Fortunately, no one was shot, but it"s good to see that the crowd responded by making themselves more difficult to target.

Sealy left, then, pursued by one of the protesters. Sealy did not make it very far.

First one, and then two police cruisers pulled up to prevent his escape. 

He was arrested on charges of possessing a firearm within 1,000 feet of a protest.

At the time of his booking, he faced misdemeanor charges of menacing and reckless endangerment

His actions prompted some very real fear in a lot of people, with a young girl who had been scheduled to speak too frightened to go on.

As you exercise your First Amendment Rights, don"t forget to stay safe, folks.

Lindsay Lohan: Kicked Out of Bar For Spitting on People, Shouting Racist Slurs

If you were hoping that 2016 would be the year that Lindsay Lohan finally turns things around, then we hate to be the ones to tell you that it’s just not happening.

Also, Santa Claus isn’t really, and you’re totally not gonna win the Powerball. #HarshTruths

Anyway, Linds got up to her old tricks while partying in Manhattan over the weekend, and amazingly, it seems she’s somehow figured out a way to become more immature and obnoxious with age.

According to Radar Online, it all started when Linds and her younger sister, Ali, spent about 20 minutes in the bathroom, where we’re sure they were just powdering their noses (in the most literal sense).

A bartender eventually got fed up with the “actress” treating his restroom like a pool party at Charlie Sheen’s house, so he knocked on the door and asked the Lohans to take the festivities elsewhere.

That’s when Lindsay – who we’re sure was completely sober – flew into an irrational rage.

The 29-year-old reportedly stormed out of the bathroom and began to hurl racial slurs at the man and mock his accent.

“Lindsay came out and her eyes were glazed over and she started yelling at the bartender – who is originally from West Africa – ‘This is New York. You’re not from here,” says one witness.

“What stunned everyone is when she was talking to him in a mock African accent and she kept asking him if he was from Ghana. It seemed like a racist attack.”

Obviously, Lindsay getting high and acting like a jackass is nothing new, but it seems she was even more of an idiot than usual this time, thus forcing other bar patrons to get involved:

“They wouldn’t leave and all hell was breaking loose and that’s when Lindsay spat in our friend’s face,” says one source.

“The bar then erupted and everyone was yelling at them to leave.”

You might think that would be the end of it, but this is LiLo we’re talking about…so you would be wrong:

“They came back with their lights on their cameras and they put their face up to the windows,” says one witness. “Lindsay was slamming her hands on the windows. She was messed up.

“About half an hour later, a friend of Lindsay’s came to the bar and tried to fight the bartender. He got in his face taking a really aggressive stance and was threatening him.

“Another person in the bar attempted to film it and then Lindsay’s friend stole her phone and ran out of the bar with it. We then chased him and restrained him till the cops arrived. It was madness.“

By the time police were on the scene the Lohans were long gone, and the bartender who had been harassed chose not to press charges for the most heartbreaking of reasons:

“I was scared because I didn’t know what would be the end result,” he tells Radar.

“Especially when you are a black guy in New York and seeing as [the Lohans] were totally racist and kept asking me where I was from.

“They asked me if I wanted to press charges and I said I just want him to leave…Their behavior was disgusting.”

Yes, Lindsay has added “racist bully” to her resume. Sounds like if she gets that Mean Girls sequel she’s been angling for, she might need to be recast as Regina George.
