Planning for a cross-country march to “restore America” — which is
related to the Oregon nature preserve standoff — appears to have hit a
snag when one of its organizers shot the other co-founder Monday
afternoon during a drunken argument over a gun.
Sheriff’s deputies in Grayson County, Texas, have not released details
about the fatal shooting, but social media posts by right-wing
“patriots” associated with militants occupying an Oregon nature preserve
identified the victim and shooter as the organizers of the Paul Revere
2016 Final March To Restore America.
“Dear friends it’s my dearest regrets to have to share this heart
breaking new (sic) with you tonight. That OUR fellow patriot and brother
Charles Carter is no longer with us. He gone to be with Jesus. Today
killed by a fellow patriot Vincent Smith. Who was suppose (sic) to be
his brother in arms and friend,” posted online radio host Keith
Williams, who described himself as the victim’s next of kin.
Bill Williamson, another right-wing “patriot” associated with the Oregon
militants, said in a Facebook post that Smith shot Carter in a drunken
dispute over a gun.
Williamson, an organizer of the failed 2 Million Bikers 2 DC rally, said
he had been communicating with Carter through Facebook messages minutes
before his friend attacked Smith.
He said Carter was intoxicated and pulled Smith’s gun from its holster,
but Smith drew a “spare gun” and shot his friend in the head.
Another right-wing patriot said Carter was shot once between the eyes.
