A White man declaring “All Lives Matter” during demonstrations in Utah on Saturday was detained by police after he aimed a bow and arrow at protesters.

Video footage of the shocking Salt Lake City incident shows Brandon McCormick standing in the street beside his vehicle as he begins to prepare his bow and arrow to apparently use it on a protester.

Just as he begins to shoot his hunting bow, protesters dashed toward him and attacked him in a chaotic scene. It was not clear, however, if he successfully fired an arrow.

Another angle shows protesters hiding behind vehicles to protect themselves. After McCormick was stopped and attacked, demonstrators then smashed the windows of his vehicle and attempted to flip it over.

Brandon McCormick Bio, Wiki
Brandon McCormick is a Salt Lake City man who failed thought he could pull a Legolas during the ongoing protests which have spread across the US after the death of a black man, George Floyd who died in police custody.

Brandon McCormick Bow-and-Arrow Video
On Saturday, May 30th, McCormick showed up with a bow-and-arrow in the middle of a Salt Lake City protest, but the protesters surrounded and took him down, jumping on his car and, by some accounts, setting it on fire, according to viral videos of the incident.

Multiple videos show the man pointing a bow-and-arrow at protesters, who then surround and jump on him. One man comes at the guy with a skateboard. People also throw things at him.

“He’s shooting a f*cking bow,” says someone in one of the videos. “Get this motherf*cker, man,” says another person.

According to him, he was attacked while sitting inside his car by "two black African Americans" because he yelled "All lives matter". Nothing about getting out of the car and trying to shoot people with a bow and arrow. I'll bet he was surprised when he saw there was video of him aiming his bow and arrow at the crowd.

turns out the bow and arrow guy, Brandon McCormick, pulled the same stunt earlier today, but with a machete or other very large knife instead.

(snips)

Another car was set on fire later in the evening and a man taken into police custody after witnesses say he showed a knife and a bow and arrow in the midst of a group of protesters.

A witness said the man drove up near a crowd of protesters at 200 East and 400 South. The witness said the man got out of the vehicle with a large knife attached to his side and pulled out a bow and arrow and attempted to shoot someone.

KSL TV cameras were rolling as protesters tackled the man to the ground. Police officers in the area pulled the man from the crowd and took him into custody. Shortly thereafter, a black vehicle which some witnesses said belonged to the man with the bow and arrow was flipped over by protesters and lit on fire.

Later, the man was again seen among the crowd. Police said he was no longer in custody, but they intend to screen charges against him.

This moron's only saving grace: It looks like a mere target arrow, strung up in that dated compound bow of his---as opposed to a razor-edged broadhead-tipped hunting arrow. Could it have done some damage to someone if the old fool had gotten off a shot? Sure---but nothing like what a broadhead could have done. And I still think he should have taken more of an ass-whipping for such a stupid stunt.

Sounds like he's probably not allowed to buy a gun.

Except for the ones that you were hoping to take down, perhaps.

Obviously, I don't like the idea that he got beaten up, but he pulled a weapon on a bunch of people. He could have just stayed home and yelled at his television screen. So, no pity party for you, Pal.
