Married Accountant Busted After Trying to Kill Trump Supporter Over Sign Dispute While Wearing “Antifa-Style” Mask – Victim Speaks Out Regarding His Harrowing Experience
An unhinged leftist has been caught after trying to kill an innocent Trump supporter over a sign that he did not like.
As the Daily Mail reported on Monday, 38-year-old Benjamin Michael Campbell was charged with unloading gunshots into the residence of 62-year-old Mark Thomas in Nantahala Gorge, North Carolina. The incident occurred back on September 6.
Campbell was seen in video footage raising his firearm from his vehicle’s sunroof and firing multiple rounds.
The Daily Mail reports that Campbell is a married accountant currently living in Atlanta, over 150 miles from Thomas’s home.
It’s unknown why Campbell was in the area.
Thomas spoke to the Daily Mail about his brush with death. Note that Campbell was wearing an Antifa-looking mask at the time of the incident.
Thomas said that Campbell first caught his eye as he drove down his road at around 55 miles per hour before coming to a sudden, screeching halt.
The Republican homeowner said he checked his security cameras, and watched a man wearing an ‘Antifa-style mask’ emerge from his Jeep Cherokee to inspect a Trump banner attached to a bus parked on the Thomas family property.
“He was driving along, saw the sign, slammed on his brakes, you know, had a political trigger moment, and he just had to tear the sign down,” Thomas said.
“He started reaching up on his tippy toes, trying to get to the edge of the sign. I just thought to myself, this is not happening. I don’t believe this,” he added.
Thomas then explained that he grabbed his gun as he feared for his life.
‘I’m a Trump supporter. I have weapons for my protection and my enjoyment, and I keep them handy, he stated.
“You know, what good are they if you can’t get to them when you need them? So I reached over and grabbed my rifle.”
Thomas said he ventured out to his porch while armed and fired a couple of warning shots so Campbell could see him.
But this did not deter Campbell.
More from the Mail:
“By this point, he had ripped the sign off, and he just whipped it up and then threw it down on the ground. Like he was proud of what he just did. I thought, Holy smokes,” Thomas said.
The intruder returned to his Jeep, but instead of heeding Thomas’ warning and leaving, he circled back down his road while raising a gun through the sunroof and firing multiple times, video shows.
WATCH:
“He fired five to six rounds as he was heading back down the driveway to the highway that passes in front of my place,” Thomas told the Daily Mail.
“I found one bullet hole in my refrigerator, which is on my porch.’ Thomas was standing on the porch at this point, and the bullet missed him by meters.
