Following Richard Spencer’s Thursday talk at the University of Florida, a trio of Spencer’s supporters opened fire just outside Gainesville, Fla., during an altercation with those opposing Spencer’s presence.
According to a statement from the Gainesville Police Department, Tyler Tenbrink, William Fears, and Colton Fears – all from Texas – were arrested and charged with attempted homicide. The 28-year-old Tenbrink, encouraged by the Fears brothers, fired into the crowd during an altercation following Spencer’s speech. The bullet missed the counter-protesters and struck a nearby building.
While Tenbrink and William Fears, 30, both have criminal records – the former is a convicted felon, while the latter had previously been convicted of aggravated kidnapping and criminal trespass – both, as Gainesville police said, “have shown connections to extremist groups,” a fact highlighted by both the Anti-Defamation League and ADL researcher Mark Pitcavage....

Stupid idiot nazi wannabes! Probably from Vidor.
What the hell is that all about? Good Lord, who can be that stupid?
I’d hold off, this sounds incredibly fake. If this had happened it would be plastered all over the web and MSM. To my knowledge it isn’t.
Think progress is an AntiFa propaganda site.
I’ll wait,
Maybe you should’ve posted from some of the non propaganda sites then.
This was on the local news around Gainesville and Ocala all day. Looks like it did happen, but the motivations seem suspect. Doesn’t pass the smell test at this point. They previously did time for illegal weapons possessions, I would think they have some proficiency with firearms yet they missed their intended targets at such close range? Strange.
law enforcement agencies are still investigating the case, and did not know if race was a factor in the shooting

There is a foul stench to this story.
“One person hit the vehicle’s rear window with a baton, and the car sped away before abruptly stopping.”
This seems intentionally downplayed.
Check their associations and political affiliation, the internet is forever even if they have attempted to clean things up before the fact.
They sound like Democrats.
They were arrested in Florida 20 miles north of Gainesville
Smells to high heaven like another sorozNazi provocation “political action “
No, people were arrested:

What does it matter if it's true?
This is MSM red meat and I still haven’t heard anything else about it, smells contrived to me even if they were arrested.
Both sides working for the left.
