CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - A Baltimore Ku Klux Klan leader charged with firing a pistol during a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville has been denied bail despite his claim that he acted in self-defense.

Richard Wilson Preston is accused of firing a weapon within 1,000 feet of a school during the August rally.

The Daily Progress reports Preston told a judge Thursday that he drew his pistol twice: first when he was threatened by a man he thought was going to throw a newspaper box at him and again when threatened by a man with a nail-laden stick.

Edit to add: Online court records show his next scheduled court date is 12/14/2017 at 1 pm
Edit to remove lawyer's name.

1. Good. Court can't trust an armed white wing racist Trump supporter to show up if granted bail? n/t

2. Why are you publicizing the lawyer?

Is that in caps for a reason?

3. It is a cut and past from the court website.

I didn't feel like I was "publicizing" the lawyer, more like outing him.

I would want to be sure I didn't employ him.

I will remove caps.

4. Nazis shouldn't have representation?

5. Of course they should.

Where did I say they shouldn't?

[HopeAgain]

7. So why "out him."

[Yonnie3]

8. Poor choice of words on my part.

He is already "out". It is a part of the pubic record.

I'll just remove it from the post, as it serves no important purpose.

Thanks for making me think harder.

9. I appreciate your thoughtfulness

Now if the Lawyer takes up the cause rather than the Defendant, then we go after him.

10. I was on my way to look him up to see just that when we engaged.

... and drew a blank.

Cheers.
