Man 'mistakenly shoots himself' while attempting counter-protest at anti-fascism rally
Benjamin Hornberger accidentally shot himself when he knocked the trigger of his old-fashioned revolver when he temporarily rested the bottom of his flag pole against the holster, reports say
A self-styled American “patriot” accidentally shot himself in the leg during an attempted counter-protest against a rumoured anti-fascism rally, reports say.
Benjamin Hornberger apparently knocked the trigger of his gun without meaning to during a rally at Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania while attending a “patriot” counter-rally on Saturday following rumours of a demonstration by a far-left “antifada” group at the site.
The 23-year-old set his old-fashioned revolver off when he temporarily rested the bottom of his flagpole against the holster, according to witnesses.
Park police were nearby and were apply to apply a tourniquet to the wound. He was said to be talking to paramedics and was in good spirits as he was loaded into the ambulance to be taken to a local hospital.

Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.
