Trial for White Supremacist 4th Precinct Shooter
Allen "Lance" Scarsella, the white supremacist who shot five protesters at the 4th precinct occupation last year is claiming he fired in self-defense, according to court documents filed Wednesday. We all know this to be a bold faced lie as he obviously showed up armed to a peaceful protest with the intentions of antagonizing, harming, and apparently even killing protesters. This intention is further supported by a video posted by the gunmen online days before the protestors were shot. The video clearly shows the group of men brandishing at least one firearm as well as claims made by them that they were "locked and loaded". Moreover, the charges that Lance is being held on do not coincide with his actions and are, of themselves, indicative of how this system protects racists. We're asking people to pack the courtroom in order to let the judge and the world know that we the people demand justice for our brothers who were shot while they were demonstrating for justice.
