North Carolina man recounts shooting after Trump banner torn from mother’s yard: 'Some people just snap'
Homeowner Mark Thomas said he believes the incident reflects the growing political divide


Indeed. Some people just snap.

Can't take disagreement. Can't process it when someone says something that makes them uncomfortable.

A North Carolina man says he was shot at by an angry motorist who tore down a Trump banner in his mother’s front yard, an incident he believes reflects the nation’s growing political hostility.

Mark Thomas, who owns a river rafting business in the Nantahala Gorge, said he was relaxing at home on Sept. 6 when the shooting occurred.

Thomas told Fox News Digital he checked his security cameras after seeing a man wearing an "Antifa-style mask" step out of a Jeep Cherokee to look at a Trump banner attached to a bus parked near his 87-year-old mother’s home.


It was caught on video, of course. So it happened.

The police caught the guy:

Thomas said he fired two warning shots into the air before Campbell allegedly got back into his vehicle and opened fire through the sunroof. Campbell then fled — only to return moments later and fire several more shots, striking a refrigerator inside the home, Thomas said.

Campbell, an Atlanta-based accountant, fled before police arrived. He was arrested Sept. 30 and extradited to North Carolina, where he faces charges including felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury, discharging a firearm within an enclosure to incite fear and willful and wanton injury to personal property.

Thomas said he was stunned to learn the suspect was a professional in his late 30s.


Because...some people just snap. Especially the ones that live in blue bubbles.
