Right-Wing Gunman Was Headed For ACLU And Tides Groups

Byron Williams, the ex-con who was in a shoot-out with the California highway patrol earlier this week, was headed to the ACLU and the Tides Center.  Tides aggregates money from wealthy donors to distribute to worthy charitable organizations.  Williams said he wanted to “start a revolution.”

Michael Weisenberg wrote in a court affidavit.

The unemployed carpenter has two strikes – one for a 2001 bank robbery in Madera County and the other for a 1995 bank robbery in Washington state. That means he faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of a third strike in connection with the shootout. He is being held without bail.
