    In Whitefish, Montana, a young woman named Samantha Francine is confronted by a large white man with balled fists, shouting, "Black Lives Matter? Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!" She does not look away. This is America, 2020. (Photo by Grace Jensen) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10223827665665524&set=a.1070301483715&type=3&theater …pic.twitter.com/2kN4P7QgaL

        Just FYI, as several commenters have noted, the guy's name is Jay Snowden, 51 years old. He was arrested & charged with one count of disorderly conduct. There's video here, if you can stomach it.https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/whitefish-man-charged-after-protest-confrontation …

        Couple things to add to this. First, here's a CNN interview with the extraordinary Samantha Francine. Her father (dead 16 years) told her, "No matter the threat, always look them in the eye so they have to acknowledge you’re human."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWNfvYSkf2c …

        Second, the photographer who captured this once-in-a-lifetime shot can be found at @graciejensn. Congrats to her on her sharp eye & presence of mind.

        A postscript to this thread (h/t @asiankaren212): Jay Snowden, the man who intimidated & verbally assaulted protesters in the picture above, had his charges reduced & will serve no jail time -- just a small fine & 10 hours of anger management counseling. https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/prosecutors-amend-disorderly-conduct-charge-for-whitefish-man ….

        Yeah, there's something wrong with that town. Noah Hawley should set a season of Fargo there.
