Gary Snow, a provocateur who came to Jacksonville during the height of the 2016 campaign and continued his ad
vocacy for Donald Trump after the election, was arrested in Bradenton for protest antics on Monday.
Snow, reports Jenna Bourne of Action News Jax (via the Bradenton Herald), was charged with “misdemeanor riot,” after police interfered in a scuffle between Snow and another gentleman, one occasioned by Snow burning an “antifa” flag.
Snow’s provocations at anti-Trump rallies went from media curiosity to public safety crisis earlier this year, with his trolling of a rally in Hemming Park leading to a melee that saw five local progressives booked for various charges … with Snow escaping such booking.
The weeks after led to a public relations crisis for Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams, who pinpointed Snow as a “catalyst” of the problems in Hemming Park.
Ultimately, the path of least resistance was chosen by 4th Circuit State Attorney Melissa Nelson to resolve the situation, with those who were arrested getting charges dropped or misdemeanor plea deals.
And Snow?
“We have declined to pursue criminal charges against Mr. Snow because we have concluded that his speech and actions were protected by the First Amendment,” Nelson said at the time.
Apparently, whatever line Snow didn’t cross in Jacksonville was crossed in Bradenton at the Confederate monument protest and counterprotest.
Going forward, as similar theater comes to other cities in the Southeast, there may be other venues for a reprise of Snow’s familiar act.

The charge was misdemeanor “AFFRAY” not “RIOT”…and I’ll continue to stand up against the communist Neo-progressive communist #ANTIFA Movement.

Whatever. You’re still a stooge in need of a hobby. And a girl.

What type of vet are you? That dudes right, these anti-fi scum are just as bad as the skin heads they fight. If you a real vet you should understand that.

Real life trolling can get real pretty quick. What’s the attraction? Adrenaline rush? Just curious.

Look at that gut. Trolling doesn’t involve much cardio does it?

This guy goes from one protest to another in FL trying to provoke arrestable behavior. Parts of his false persona…he was in the military (no) and he was in law enforcement (no). He actually lives in JAX, doesn’t appear to work and could not list any of the traits of the Republican Party. Know his face! If he shows up at your event you need to tape everything he does. Good Luck!
