    The guy who was shot may have sprayed pepper spray at the guy who pulled a gun on him. The guy with the pepper spray may have been the one acting in self defense.

    You said that. You said it won't stop until Trump is out of office.

    says the shooting happened after the spraying

    https://www.denverpost.com/2020/10/10/denver-protests-saturday-civic-center-park/

    "The incident occurred after a man participating in what was billed a “Patriot Rally” sprayed mace at another man. That man then shot the other individual with a handgun near the courtyard outside the Denver Art Museum, according to a Denver Post journalist who witnessed the incident."

    So was this a "peaceful" shooting?

    I think Trump pours gas on the civil unrest, I said after he leaves office I think things will calm down (at least I hope)

    though the economic outlook is bleak, so it could get worse too, as both sides look for someone to blame

    Because he's an Antifa supporter.

    The "space invader" tattoo on the shooter's wrist is Antifa imagery.

    Does it say when the gun was drawn though? It appears to me that the sequence of events was:

    1) shooter draws gun

    2) victim uses pepper spray

    3) shooter fires and kills victim

    the police said not Antifa, but they have been wrong before

    have to wait and see, I only know what the article says, I was not there

    remember, this was not a protestor, this was a private security guard hired for a tv station's reporter

    hopefully someone got video

    How is space invaders AntiFa imagery?
    The only “source” I can find is the_donald (a extreme right wing trash forum that has been pushed to the fringes of the internet) that references a German site and a tweet from a person whos handle is “antifa lives don’t matter”...

    Just googling space invaders tattoo finds hundreds of thousands of results, are they all antifa?

    This is all tragic, sad and avoidable. And I think it starts by deescalating little by little, we won't deescalate all the way over night, but making peace day by day will lead to a better tomorrow.

    Yes, that is from the German site I referenced.
    You didn’t answer the questions I posed:
    How is space invaders AntiFa imagery?
    Just googling space invaders tattoo finds hundreds of thousands of results, are they all AnftFa?

    Anyone seen any video of this? Kind of odd that a security guard for a TV news reporter shoots someone and there not be video. A camera should have been right there.

    yeah, I had never heard "space invaders" was an Antifa tattoo before today and searching google for antifa tattoos brings up nothing like that

    the police said not antifa as well, so until get some real proof, gonna assume just a security guard that overreacted from being sprayed with mace like the article says

    From the picture, it looks like the guy with the mace is spraying it to the side of the shooter, like at someone else. Hard to tell exactly, but I don't see any mace forming around the gun or his arms. In any case, the shooter was quick on the draw.

    Plus, it looks like the mace guy is looking straight ahead and the shooter is a little off to the side of him.

    yeah, not sure if he had been spraying and only when he sprayed the guy he shot or what, while wrong of him to spray, not smart to shoot him either

    Both aides? There’s barely any unrest on one “side”. The unrest, damage and violence is owned exclusively by the Left and Democrats supporting it or turning a blind eye.

    President Biden is an oxymoron that will not come to pass. Sleepy Joe will always be known as three-times-a-loser.

    You can spout and puff, but you can't make him something he's not.

    Do you mean to say, Liberal Democrats could sometimes be violent, too?

    Nah... :buggered:

    The FBI found a fringe group with some far left anarchists in it, and needed to call it "right wing extremism" to justify its report. I wasn't fooled with the switcharoo. I am however sad that the FBI has stooped this low. Crossfire Hurricane helps remind me that it's a pattern.

    The data is not all in yet, but there is clear evidence that the victim slapped the shooter. If you are conservative, you are not helping the cause if you initiate violence. If the slap was in response to violence, it would be justified. If it was in response to words, it was inexcusable.

    Still does not justify the shooting as the shooter could have fled like Kyle did.
