A self-described “peacekeeper” shot three times at Gamboa. At least one of the bullets hit Gamboa in the side. Another bullet accidentally hit and killed a 39-year-old protester.
So some rookie sees a guy peacefully walking around with an AR-15 and starts blasting? Open carry is stupid, carrying an AR-15 alone at a protest is stupid. But it’s still the dude’s right. Maybe the “peacekeeper” was an off duty HiGhlY TraINeD cop.
It’s wild to me that people yesterday were all over this guy when they thought he was some right-wing terrorist, but now that he’s a leftist, his actions are suddenly OK and he’s a victim.
There was literally a nationwide manhunt by federal and state law enforcement for a man who assassinated two democrats and plotted to attack the No Kings protests going on at that exact moment, and you think it’s unreasonable someone attending those protests feared enough for their safety, and the safety of others around them, attempted to stop what they might have assumed was the start of a mass shooting by right-wing terrorists? He ducked into an alleyway and got a gun, and you’re gonna sit there and say yeah, that’s not suspicious given the threats from MAGA and Trump?
Weird how having more information leads to a more nuanced opinion. It’s almost like knowing that a person who is protesting a fascist is less likely to want to kill people also protesting a fascist…
All we know is the story that was told by a couple people labeling themselves as “peacekeepers” who were also carrying loaded firearms… It will be interesting to see if these peacekeepers have any actual connections to groups who would actually want to protect people in that crowd, or are just right winged chuds who often attend these types of protest to keep an eye out on the leftist.
That is the story being told by the only person who actually killed anyone. I also find it interesting that a person who was aiming a rifle and “planned to do a mass shooting” ran away without returning fire .
Edit: the story being told does not appear to be aligning with Video of the event.
This is literal fake news
You were there?
Were you?
That’s my point, thanks for missing it. None of us were, and we’re all basing what we know on two short videos totaling less than thirty seconds, and the witness accounts of people who were there. Saying “that’s literally fake news” is bullshit, because none of you know anything that I don’t know. The difference is that some of you have decided he’s innocent of being a fucking moron based on nothing more than his political affiliation.
Which is very MAGA of you, by the way.
Well, what we do know is the witness accusing him of aiming a rifle and running towards the crowd is also the same person who shot and killed an innocent bystander. We also have footage that shows this witness testimony to not match what actually happened. So no, I don’t think you can make any claims based on what that witness says.
The difference is that you are refusing to change your prior beliefs based on the new evidence being presented. The only prior evidence was assuming someone’s motive and the testimony of someone who committed manslaughter.
Now we know the motive and the testimony are not lining up with reality.
Very maga of you to stubbornly deny reality just to lick boot.
There’s no new evidence presented. “He’s an anarchist” has nothing to do with him being an idiot. He got people killed because of his own stupidity and recklessness, and he’s going to go to prison for that. Because self defense laws consider if your actions were reasonable given he situation as you perceived it, and the peacekeepers actions were perfectly reasonable, given the threats against the protest, and this idiots actions.
Also, the irony of a shitlib calling an anarchist a bootlicker. Go back to brunch, the wine has addled your brain.
No need to watch the video tape, we have witness testimony from the who just killed someone… Super smart. Ignoring the existence of evidence does not mean the evidence does not exist.
Open carry is completely legal in utah. Why are you blaming a person who didn’t do a crime when both parties had firearms? Also, he hasn’t been charged.
Again, walking around with a rifle isn’t a threat to anyone’s life. Meanwhile the organization that set up “peacekeepers” expressly told them not to intervene armed protestors and told them not to be armed.
I don’t know if you’ve been to a protest in the South, but having people open carry is normal.
Lol, not a lib, and I bet you’re a fucking ancap if anything. Go kiss corporate boot ya failed libertarian fuckface.
“Liberal shitstain insists he’s not a liberal shitstain, more at 10.”
Did you write that up assuming I’m going to give a shit about what some diet fascist thinks about me? When your little Kyle Rittenhouse wannabe hero is charged, you’re going to think about me. I’m blocking you tho, I won’t ever think about you ever again.
