Are we though? Don't drop any details if you're aware of actual community defense preparations at the No Kings protests...but the organizers of these protests are libbed up as hell. ~~No way they're working with any armed community defense groups.~~ It looks like the Salt Lake City protest organizers actually did work with a volunteer peacekeeping group, and the fatality was a bystander killed by a bullet meant to stop the gunman.
Peace keepers at slc got the dude with the rifle.
They were put there by protest organizers, so yes they are
They also got an innocent bystander killed, so not great there.
"They weren't perfect, they should have just let him kill people."
They also shot only three times as opposed to police who regularly empty magazines. It is tragic, but it was going to be far worse.
You have to think within the context of the conversation being had lmao. The question was "are we really ready?" and our cited security team had an accidental killing.
Like yeah, I'm glad they stopped the shooter. That wasn't the point.
Yeah, not the best case, but probably the best we could hope for given the alternatives and that they were literally fleeing into the crowd.
Completely agree. Could have been far worse.
No. It wasn't. the alternative was worse
I would agree that it certainly wasn’t the worst case scenario.
Yep the violent Nazi started a gun fight that as expected got an innocent killed. While I can't imagine what their family is going through, thank God that was all that happened. That bystander was a casualty of their war. The peaceful protestors didn't declare that war.
Got details? What happened?

Wait so they’re looking for someone who hit a demonstrator with an SUV while in other areas cops are hitting people with their SUV or trampling them with horses?
Nice that somewhere there’s decency but where’s the standard for this job?
Local and inconsistent.
Turns out the US is a collection of states.
Fire fights is what the Right wants and is hoping for.
It doesn't necessarily need to be a firefight.

They were working with the armed defense group that stopped a mass shooting in Utah and the 50501 spokesperson said the designated armed defense groups were a regular part of the protests.
I can't speak for every group, but from reading about the incident at the Salt Lake City protest it was an armed guard that shot the would-be shooter and unfortunately killed the bystander
RIP to Mr. Ah Loo. This shouldn't have fucking happened, and hopefully there will be accountability for this. Beyond that, I'm going to hold off on commenting until more details come out.
