A Virginia sheriff has apologized to a black pastor who was arrested for pulling a gun on a group of white neighbors as they allegedly assaulted and threatened to kill him.
Pastor Leon McCray, 61, told his congregation that he was surrounded by a “mob” of five “irate” people who attacked him “verbally and physically” after he stopped them dumping a refrigerator on his property in Edinburg.
The group was “threatening my life,” he said during a sermon at his Lighthouse Church & Marketplace Ministries International — claiming they also told him, “Black lives don’t matter.”
“Being threatened and fearing for my life, I took and felt compelled to pull my concealed weapon — my legally concealed weapon — to save my life,” he told congregants in the June 7 sermon.
“This act, through the grace of God, saved my life,” he insisted, saying it bought him time to dial 911 and beg for help.
But the responding officers “made a beeline” for him instead, arresting him even as the group continued making threats against him, he claimed.

But I thought acting out because of ‘RAGE’ was a good thing - the democrats and media wanker leftists have told us so.

That’s a good looking group. One can see why they might hold to White supremacist beliefs.;-)

Damn, not a lot of variation in that gene pool is there.

At least two of that group of solid citizens look like long term meth users.
S0 the cops went after the middle age black man? It's either racism or cops as dumb as a box of rocks.

I drive through Edinburg about once a year - about an hour south of Winchester. Trailer park country. Nothing much to do there. Cook up some bathtub meth, hump your cousin (four of them are named Salyers - I rest my case), feed the ten dogs living under your porch, that's about it. I bet if you told them all to look at the camera and say 'cheese' together, there wouldn't be enough teeth between the five of them to make a set of dentures.

Now that’s sure a sorry/nasty looking bunch of folks. Did they just come down from the hills or what?

I heard banjo music, looking at their booking photos.

Next time I’ll use an external search like site:freerepublic.com keywords which might work better.
