A deranged leftist has been caught on camera firing shots towards a MAGA supporter's home after ripping a Donald Trump sign from his property.

Swain County Sheriff's Office said they were called to a river rafting business in rural Bryson City, North Carolina, just before 6pm on September 6 to reports of gunshots.

The chaos was over by the time deputies arrived at the Paddle Inn Rafting Company, but the owner shared a video showing what happened on YouTube.

Mark Thomas said he caught the suspect on surveillance footage tearing 'Trump 2024' banners from one of his buses parked outside before they exchanged gunfire.

The business owner said he was the first to fire with two warning shots in the air - but the suspect hit back with several shots Thomas believes were intended to kill.

Footage shows a gun emerging from the sunroof of the suspect's Jeep, appearing to aim in the direction of Thomas' family property 

Writing on Facebook, Thomas said the Trump banner and the bus belong to his mother, and that they were parked in their yard.

Thomas said he was watching their CCTV cameras when he noticed a man stop in the middle of the highway before approaching the bus.

BRYSON CITY, N.C. (FOX Carolina) - The Swain County Sheriff’s Office said it is looking for information on a shooting that took place at a rafting company.

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies were called to the Paddle Inn Rafting Company located on Highway 19 West in the Nantahala Gorge for reports of gunshots around 5:52 p.m. on Sept. 6. Upon arrival, a deputy did not see anything suspicious or the vehicle in question at that time.  ...

Paddle Inn Rafting Company’s owner Mark Thomas said he caught the suspect on CCTV cameras park next to one of his buses, walk across the street and rip Thomas’ mother’s “Trump” banners off an old sign.

“He walked up to the sign. When he stood up at the sign I though ‘I can’t believe this’,” Thomas said. “I watched him until he reached up and pulled the sign down. It’s just a shock.”

Thomas said after seeing what was happening on camera, he went outside and fired his rifle twice in the air.

“I let him know that somebody’s watching him and didn’t appreciate it,” Thomas said.  ...

Charlie would have disagreed.

It is why he went frequently into hostile territory of college campuses.

He would advocate pouring more gas on it?

Did he ever stop going after he had evil spit at him the hundreds of times he showed up?

No he did not, until Robinson killed him.

And I believe his point has been made at the reaction to his death we have witnessed.

Will there be more deaths? 

I hope not, but that shouldn't deter those who have the same message as Charlie.

So, I'm guessing you missed something on the first post you responded to. I said: "Best not to add gas to it".

I interpret that as saying to Charlie "Don't go to that campus, you might get hurt".

Charlie would never hesitate to show up.

No, I was talking about the guy tearing down Trump signs in the video and then using a gun.

Context is everything.

It seemed you were directing that toward the sign owner not to shoot up in the air.

Warning shots are a waste of ammo, and might be interpreted as the opening for the person they are directed toward warning claiming self-defense.

Be ready, but don't be the one to start shooting (unless the other guy is drawing a weapon, then being first just means they drew down on the wrong person).
