Man Who Waved Gun and Yelled ‘Womp Womp’ Arrested at Immigration Rally
New York Times ^ | 7/2/2018 | Christine Hauser

An Alabama man who yelled “womp womp” and waved a gun at people protesting the separation of migrant families appeared in court on Monday on charges of reckless endangerment and menacing, officials said.

The man, Shane Ryan Sealy, 34, pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanors in Huntsville Municipal Court, and a trial date was set for Aug. 21, said Christy Wampler, a court supervisor. Mr. Sealy was released on bond.

At about noon on Saturday, Mr. Sealy began heckling a gathering of approximately 150 to 200 people at a public park in Huntsville, a city of about 190,000 people in northern Alabama.(snip)

Shortly after the rally in Huntsville’s Big Spring Park got started, Mr. Sealy, identified as a former high school teacher by the local station WAFF-TV, began marching back and forth between the crowd and a gazebo where organizers and speakers were seated.

He was holding a placard that said “Ice, ice baby,” a reference to the acronym for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while singing an unrelated song by that name by the artist Vanilla Ice.

According to videos recorded by people attending the rally, Mr. Sealy also yelled “womp womp” several times, repeating the sad trombone sound that was thrust into national discourse during the debate over the Trump administration’s immigration policy.

While appearing on Fox News on June 19, Corey Lewandowski, Mr. Trump’s former campaign manager, said “womp womp” when he heard a story about a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was taken away from her mother in South Texas.

One video recorded by a person at the rally shows Mr. Sealy circling the gazebo, repeatedly shouting “womp womp” as Kerry Holder-Joffrion, an Episcopal priest, starts to speak.

“womp, Womp”???

I guess “Wimp Wimp” would have been OK, though...

I’m wondering if he would have been arrested just for yelling out Womp Womp without a gun.

Because that’s what these communist homo degenerate scumbags want to do to us.

62% White or fight.

it is a vocalization of the of the musical “sorry trombone” sound used in comedy bits since vaudeville i think. Game show loss music too.

Whah-Whah is probably a better expression to vocalize the sound.

The first step in solving the problem is identifying it.

A vote for democrats is a vote for a white minority.

Keep the message simple, no hate, no white supremacy.

Just keep the demographic frozen right where it is, at 62% white

Make them defend their policy of white decimation.

Not that anyone here will listen, but THESE are the types of people we VOLUNTARILY let loose on our kids - at least most of us.
