Despite having been the one to shoot and kill Ah Loo and wound Arturo, the yet unidentified No Kings “peacekeeper” was detained and released without charges after being questioned by police.

One of the victims was apparently preparing a mass shooting, and was, at the time, running toward the crowd with his weapon.Idk if new information came to light I can’t find, but that was a cop propagated rumor early on. I believe he was a known, legal carrier who provided security for previous protests. He was arrested for “brandishing” his legal rifle at a crowd after the chucklefucks already shot at him and he was running away.
At least afaik, if there’s other evidence, sure. I’m skeptical though because the cops already lied about it twice.
when I first read that Gamboa was “preparing a mass shooting”, it sounded plausible, since mass shootings are a regular occurrence in Amerikkka. Then I read about Gamboa’s background, things started sounding fishy
Shit I didn’t realize that, so this was literally just cops being cops
It’s understandable - cops constantly spew misinfo to muddy the waters because it works!
My understanding from what I’ve read and the video I saw was that he was open carrying completely legally and peacefully and did nothing to indicate he was gonna shoot anyone. Then the “peacekeeper” shot him and a bystander, killing the bystander
we have too many “lone wolf” mass shooters for me to trust someone open carrying by himself anywhere near a crowd
you mean like cops, private security, and these “peacekeepers”, right? I agree, they should be disarmed.
There have been people in all black with rifles that looked exactly like Gamboa at numerous protests since 2020, especially in states like Utah and Texas where everyone has a gun. You’re not wrong really but it’s not that uncommon.
I didn’t realize all of that, I got my info from the wrong source on this
when I read about this originally that person was open carrying (but not otherwise problematic) the two “peacekeepers” started threatening him, he fled and so they fired into the crowd. Has anything new come out to support that the open carry guy was dangerous in anyway or is it just successive levels of whitewashing violent (pseudo)authorities?
The video clip that was going around show the guy just walking by and not even interacting with the shooter when he leveled his pistol and started blasting, which caused the guy to run into the crowd.
I didn’t realize that, no new info has come out, I just ate the wrong news on it
This has been the constructed narrative, but I haven’t seen proof, yet.
I didn’t realize it was a constructed narrative, my bad
No, it’s fine. It’s just that every article can’t even follow a proper timeline of events. I’ve been waiting to see footage pop up or maybe hear an announcement from both side’s lawyers.
