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.

          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.

            difference is that some of you have decided he’s innocent of being a fucking moron based on nothing more than his political affiliation.

            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.

                He got people killed because of his own stupidity and recklessness, and he’s going to go to prison for that.

                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.

                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.

                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.

                Also, the irony of a shitlib calling an anarchist a bootlicker. Go back to brunch, the wine has addled your brain.

                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.

                    “Liberal shitstain insists he’s not a liberal shitstain, more at 10.”

                    Man speaking to himself in the mirror, more at 10… I’m not the one who keeps regurgitating the story being told by cops about an anarchist.

                    When your little Kyle Rittenhouse wannabe hero is charged, you’re going to think about me.

                    Lol, projecting much? I think if the dude wanted to kill people he would have very least shot back at the “peacekeeper”. Your only defense is citing the witness who has already been caught lying.

                    Why are you riding the former military liberal peacekeeper dick so hard?

                    Be a bitch about it, IDK.
