(Reuters) - A Texas man who shot at protesters after a white nationalist's speech at the University of Florida and two brothers who urged him to "kill them" have been charged with attempted homicide, police said on Friday.

No one was injured in the shooting incident, which occurred on Thursday near the campus in Gainesville where hundreds of people protested Richard Spencer's speech amid a heavy police presence and a preemptive state of emergency declaration by the governor.

Gainesville police said Tyler Tenbrink, 28, and William and Colton Fears, 30 and 28, respectively, stopped their car near the campus to argue with a group of protesters.

After threatening the protesters and making Nazi salutes, Tenbrink fired a single shot at them as the Fears brothers yelled "kill them" and "shoot them," police said.

The shot hit a nearby building, and the suspects fled in their car, police said. One of the protesters reported the car's license plate number to police, and trio were arrested a few hours later.

At least two of the men are linked to "extremist groups," police said, without specifying which two. The Fears brothers were each being held under a $1 million bond.

Tenbrink, who faces additional charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, was being held under a $3 million bond, police said.

The incident came about two months after rallies by neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, led to violent clashes with counter-protesters. A woman was killed there on Aug. 12 when a man who is said by law enforcement to have harbored Nazi sympathies drove his car into a crowd.

The protests in Gainesville were mostly peaceful. There were a few scuffles on campus that left five people with minor injuries, the university said in a statement.

Reuters journalists spoke with Tenbrink and Colton Fears ahead of the Spencer speech on Thursday. Tenbrink described himself as a white nationalist and said he was interested in "preserving our heritage and the American way of life."

Colton Fears said he wore a skull-and-crossbones Nazi pin on his shirt to provoke people at the event.

Black protester hugs self-described Nazi at white nationalist rally

http://abc11.com/politics/black-protester-hugs-self-described-nazi/2554263/

Saturday, October 21, 2017 07:25AM
GAINESVILLE, Florida --
"Why don't you like me?"

That's what a black protester asked while giving a man in swastika T-shirt a hug, according to Storyful.

The powerful moment was caught on camera after a Richard Spencer rally at the University of Florida on Thursday. Spencer is a well-known white nationalist who coined the term "alt-right."

Counter-demonstrators, greatly outnumbering the white nationalist crowd, gathered outside the rally to protest. Anti-Spencer protesters shouted, "Not in our town! Not in our state! We don't want your Nazi hate!" and "Let's go Gators" during his speech.

The Alachua County Sheriff said two people were arrested.

The "self-described Nazi skinhead" receiving the hug was identified as Randy Furniss, of Idaho. Furniss was also filmed getting punched in the head, The Gainesville Sun reports.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. ― About five hours before his companion allegedly fired a bullet toward several protesters, and a day before police charged him with attempted homicide, Colton Fears, in an interview with HuffPost, laid out the grievances that had brought him to town. “Basically, I’m just fed up with the fact that I’m cis-gendered, I’m a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side,” said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. “And I get demonized if I don’t accept certain things.”

Colton Fears sounds like some posters on DT.

I had the police scanner from there on my phone as I was coming home from work. Some people who witnessed said that the silver liberty that the subjects were in stopped in front of this group of people and started some stuff with them and started with the "heil hitler" arms out and when the other people started yelling back, they got in their car and one of the white guys in the liberty fired a shot at the group.

And no 40, attempted murder is not some fools sowing their oats.

Now, after Charlottesville and almost another incident in Gainesville, Richard Spencer and his group want to come to Ohio State and Penn State and both said no, so they are going to sue on the free speech aspect. If I were the schools, any body on any said that wants to spew crap like this and use free speech as a crutch can speak, if and only if, they pay for renting the hall and they pay for all security for the event (Gainesville was about 1/2 a million) and they carry liability coverage for any damages.

So, answer me this. Is the problem with violence caused by the people who want to exercise their RIGHT to free speech, even if it is crude and you don't want to hear it or is the problem with violence caused by the people who are there to shut down that free speech and riot?

The Constitution guarantees one but not the other.

If the next time a speaker wishes to talk about a woman's right to choose, my side will show up, riot and burn.
Now the result will be that no one will allow such talk in the future because it causes violence.

If that is your idea of American Freedom, well then, lets do this thang!

The better question here is who gives a rats arse what Nazis say or stand for? They are nothing more than radicals and easily dismissed.

I have been hearing much the same from the radicals on the Left these days. Also easily dismissed.

But in America they both have a RIGHT to say it under our Constitution and Bill of Rights. This is not to be dismissed!

So therein lies the rub. It is actually Free Speech which is under attack today.

I forgot in the Bill of Rights where it says shooting a gun at someone and plowing into people with a car is recognized as 'free speech'.

Is that what I said? No.

But I will say this...

The subversive Communist will work from within to twist words and meanings in order to cause a rift and strife among our people.
He must be watched closely for what he really is doing and what his ultimate goal truly is, the destruction of Democracy and the tearing down of these United States of America.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is a membership organization within the Democratic congressional caucus in the United States Congress.[5] The CPC is a left-leaning organization that works to advance progressive and liberal issues and positions and represents the progressive faction of the democratic party.[6][7] It was founded in 1991 and has grown steadily since then, having more recently added 20 members since 2005 and having hired its first full-time Executive Director, Bill Goold, in May of that year. Subsequent Executive Directors have included Andrea Miller (2009–2011) and Brad Bauman (2011–2014). With 71 members, it is currently the largest Democratic congressional caucus.

No. That would be far too honest of you. You're more of a troll. That's why you purposely confuse threats with free speech. It helps you protect your friends on the alt-right.

Of course not. The kkk or white supremacy groups work to get their puppet politicians elected. Always have. You know like the deplorable Steve Bannon did.

As a person who has always been a republican and more recently has just opted to call myself a conservative... I'm embarrassed that common racist dirtbags like this have co-opted those names as their own. They have zero, zilch, nada in common with my beliefs...

At some point, the republican party and its candidates are going to have stop pacifying them because they fear losing their votes. Take a stand, call them what they are... racists, Nazis, white nationalists, terrorists... take your pick... and tell them you don't want them in your party. That might actually cost you some elections in the near term but in the long term it would go a long way to proving to the millions of more moderate republicans, like myself, that you are actually serious about solving the problem.

As a politician, if you are willing to win elections because of this groups vote because you are afraid to call them out... then that says more about you than it does about them.

I also find it ironic that their last name is "Fear".. because they are just wussy, insecure, little cowards..

Yeah the same people who nowadays belong in prison for running down citizens with cars and yeah the same statues that belong in civil war museums or melted down into bronze bricks and used to make statues of those who are fighting for racial freedoms and removing the virtual shackles that the alt right, KKK and white supremacists lock them into everyday and today.

Thank you for reminding us of that 40.

As if "the rest of us" haven't heard any of the hundreds of credible civil rights leaders who have respectfully and peacefully protested over the years only to be meet with violence from the Alt right, KKK and white supremacists.

But it's not surprising you haven't listened.

Well you feel anything that doesn't suit your beliefs isn't credible. That's why you never open your mind to listening to anything you don't wish to hear or believe.

If you don't like what it says, you simply scream Fake News and turn your head.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the GOP could’ve had his country on complete lock down since Lincoln if they eliminated the racist element within their party/ideology.

The majority within minority demographics are fiscally conservative, and the majority of black and Latino demographics are Christian who lean toward more traditional lifestyles.

But most will not vote for a party who willingly accept votes and caters to far right voters, which includes the worst of the worst such as white nationalist, the klan, neo nazis and others.

People always ask “what has the Dems done for black people the last 40years?”

And I always say: not much. But the sad thing is that “not much” is still way more than what the GOP has done.
