Alabama man yells ‘womp, womp’, waves gun at immigration rally

Shane Sealy, 34, was charged with menacing and reckless endangerment after he brandished a handgun at an immigration rally

An Alabama man was arrested after he shouted ‘Womp, womp!’ and brandished a handgun at an immigration rally, police have revealed. 

Shane Sealy, 34, was charged with menacing and reckless endangerment for his antics at a ‘Families Belong Together’ rally in Huntsville on Saturday. 

Sealy’s ‘Womp, womp’ protest was a direct reference to what Corey Lewandowski said in response to a story about a disabled 10-year-old girl who was separated from her mother at the border. 

The Trump ally came under fire from the likes of Megyn Kelly and Meghan McCain for his mocking response to the girl, who has Down syndrome. 

But Sealy made it his rally cry at the protest, walking around the gazebo and yelling while one woman led the protest in a prayer. 

Video captured Sealy yelling Lewandowski’s phase and singing Vanilla Ice’s song ‘Ice, Ice Baby’ in reference to ICE – the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

‘We pray that you will give us the strength to not be defeated,’ the woman leading the prayer said as he continued to yell ‘Womp, womp’. 

The moment that Sealy, a former high school English teacher, waved his gun was not captured on camera. 

Authorities said Sealy pulled out the handgun after he pushed one of protesters, who pushed him back and knocked him to the ground. 

‘He pulled out a gun. I saw him holding it out in front of him,’ rally organizer Ava Caldwell told WHNT. 

‘We just started screaming for everybody to drop to the ground. We all dropped to the ground crying.’

No shots were fired and no one was injured. 

Sealy then tried to leave the park but witnesses pointed him out to police and yelled that he had a gun.

Officers cut him off by driving their SUV onto the field and took him into custody for brandishing a firearm within 1,000 feet of a protest. 

Sealy was released after spending eight hours in jail, according to New York Daily News.   

His permit to carry a concealed weapon has since been revoked.
