Legally armed protester stands outside Dittmar campaign offices for hoursFLUVANNA COUNTY, Va. (NEWSPLEX) -- On Thursday, a Fluvanna County resident stood outside Jane Dittmar's Palmyra campaign office to protest Hillary Clinton.
The protester, Daniel Parks, says that he hopes his protest encourages other Trump supporters to stand up for what they believe in.
"I'm just trying to provide a voice for someone who might be a closet supporter of trump. Other people who are a little worried to speak out because of possible persecution," he said.
Parks stood outside the offices for almost 12 hours. Dittmar volunteers say that the protest was disturbing.
Parks was eventually joined by another protester, and Wolff said that the most troubling part of the protest was that both of them started to expose their firearms.
