Man who aimed bow and arrow at Salt Lake City protesters charged with three felonies

Brandon E. McCormick says he brought a hunting bow and a large knife to a Salt Lake City protest because he wanted to protect the police. Instead of protecting cops, he was beaten by protestors when he drew his weapon on them and has been charged with three felonies. If he gets convicted and sent to prison, he won't have to acclimate to life as an inmate.

From The Salt Lake Tribune:

Now the 57-year-old Taylorsville man, who has spent nearly two decades of his life behind bars in California and once was convicted of battery against a public safety officer, faces three felony counts for, widely shared video has shown, aiming his weapon at protesters.

...

McCormick, whose Facebook page says he is originally from Barstow, Calif., has shared his views before on the social media website, posting racist memes and talking about wanting to go back in time to take out" former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when they were in the crib."

In a May 21 post, McCormick shared with his followers that "if you didn't grow up during the cold war and or you and or your anaesters [ancestors] are here ileagely [illegally]. You shouldn't be alloud [allowed] to vote!!!!" (Bracketed spellings have been corrected.)
