Kill all chuds and US domestic terrorism ends

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

bit of a "beatings continue until moral improves", isn't it? You don't fix terrorism by fighting terrorists, you fix terrorism by relieving the pressures that push people to terrorism.

So some frothing chud tried to do a mass shooting at the protest, protestors shot back, and hit everyone but the chud?

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people:

A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died.

A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

Unless I'm not reading this correctly. There was no "frothing chud" who "tried to do a mass shooting". There was an open carry protester, who the "peacekeepers" believed to be a gunman. They engaged him, he fled, they shot at him, hitting him and killing another.

Utah is a permitless carry state. SLC has an open carry ordinance, and protests frequently see AR-15s being carried openly.

This environment makes threat assessment more challenging, which is why having armed "security" volunteers who lack extensive training is an incredibly reckless idea.

I made a mistake in the title before. I thought the "peacekeepers" were part of 50501. I don't know who they are or what their connection to 50501 is. And the MSM seems to be shit so I won't google about it anymore.

At thread about it at r/50501 - ?? what’s going on : 50501

A reply

The story is that there were two pistol armed peacekeepers in reflective vests standing by. They saw the suspect go behind a wall to retrieve a rifle. They confronted him, then he pointed his rifle and started to run towards the crowd. One peacekeeper opened fire on him. He shot 3 rounds. One struck the suspect, one struck and killed the protester.

The suspect fled and attempted to hide amongst protesters sheltering in place by a building, but one of the protesters recalled seeing a rifle stock in the suspect’s backpack during an earlier interaction with him. This protester snatched the backpack and called the police over, where he was arrested.
