Just a polite conversation with a man who said "Get the fucking lynching ropes out. I'm tired of this bullshit."
Denton, Texas activist Willie Hudspeth has been protesting in front of a Confederate monument in the town square. He says the monument belongs in a museum, something he's lobbied Denton officials for since 2000. Stephen Passariello, also of Denton, was so enraged with Willie's one-man protest that he decided to show up and confront him....with a loaded gun:
Bystanders said Passariello appeared unreasonable and agitated.
“He was like angry and he was jostling [the gun] like this,” Rinkleff said, motioning as if moving a gun at the hip. “I didn’t know if he had the safety on. I didn’t know if that gun was going to go off at any moment. I would say he was pointing the muzzle toward people as he talked. I was worried.”
The Denton Record-Chronicle reports police took away his ammo, but let him go on his way.
Willie Hudspeth says he was having meaningful conversation with others about whether the monument should be moved when Passariello appeared. Readers of the Denton Record-Chronicle claim Passariello was making wildly racist and threatening comments, some of which were grabbed with a screenshot before being removed:and unamazingly he is still alive and walking around with no head injuries was not arrested they took the bullets but surely he had more or knew where the store was. mission accomplished or White privilege sets another wacko waving a gun and exhibiting mental challenges free to roam the streets?????
