DENVER — One person was killed and two people are in custody on Saturday after gunfire erupted near an area where protests between opposing groups in downtown Denver were occurring, authorities said.


The shooting occurred in the courtyard of the Denver Art Museum, KCNC reported.


A man participating in a “Patriot Rally,” which also included self-described Black Lives Matter-antifa protesters, sprayed mace at another man, according to the Denver Post. The man sprayed by mace then shot the first protester with a handgun, the newspaper reported.



The victim, whose identity has not been released, was transported to an area hospital and was later pronounced dead, KCNC reported.


One of the two persons taken into custody was not involved in the shooting, according to the Denver Police Department.

According to a later tweet from police, “further investigation has determined the (other) suspect is a private security guard with no affiliation with antifa.”

Officials said more information will be released “as it becomes available.”

The Patriot Rally was scheduled for 2 p.m. local time, KUSA reported. The counter protest, called a “BLM-Antifa Soup Drive,” began 30 minutes earlier at Civic Center Park, which is located next to the state Capitol, the television station reported.

Police, who earlier fired what appeared to be pepper balls at the leftist protest group, said they were working on a homicide investigation, the Post reported.

Several Denver police officers in riot gear were on the scene when the shooting occurred, KMGH reported. Witnesses said the victim was shot at point-blank range, the television station reported.

The Denver Police Department did not provide specifics about the shooting but released a statement.

“The Denver Police Department respects the right to peacefully assemble,” the statement read. “Those who participate in protests, demonstrations, marches, or other gatherings, as protected by the First Amendment, are reminded to do so in a lawful manner. Individuals who choose to act outside of local, state and federal law, will be subject to citation or arrest.”

Media is in full damage control, the shooter was a "random security guard" who attacked in "self defence" after being maced and is not affiliated with Antifa because Antifa does not exist and is just an idea.

Also Twitter celebrating the kill.

People who keep saying "this guy will walk because Denver is blue" is insane and has no idea how the law works in Colorado, lol.

The state is going to try its hardest to fuck this guy, just like they already have done with past rioters who are white.

Kyle is being held for 1st degree murder too. His lawyers have raised 2mil but somehow haven't posted bail. Best not to count chickens before they hatch.

The money is for his defense, not for his bail. And bailing him out would likely have him assassinated.

By the way, is the 1st degree murder charge for Antifa Pinkerton set? Because I'm thinking if the DA wants him to get off scott free, overcharge him with a hard to prove 1st degree instead of the easy to prove 2nd, show the murder wasn't premeditated, get him cleared for 1st, double-jeopardy protects him from 2nd, he gets away with murder.

These are screenshots of the sub.mission/Mat the Alien page pol found last night almost immediately after a guy got his name by searching the inmate bookings. Love Tim pretending he did the legwork on this one. I'm a lazy ass too but at least I don't pretend to be an investigative journalist.

The only problem I see is that they arrested the man who shot him.

EDIT: I think I may have been confused on who pepper sprayed who. I had assumed it was the BLM guy whom had pepper sprayed the shooter.

So what you're saying is, an NBC Affiliate hired a fucking moron to perform a job he was neither trained NOR legally permitted to do.

RIP Bear Mace Man, I hope your spirit can have some closure knowing that your loved ones are going to be absurdly rich from the lawsuit. And the remaining life of Mr. Antifa is going to be getting fucked in the ass by either Tyrone or the Aryans Brotherhood. I hope they take every fucking penny from that corporation and the people who hired him need to be locked up for criminal negligence.

One thing that always surprises me is how fast narratives can move surrounding these hectic happenings.

Granted I live in a different state so my understanding of the law regarding self defense is tainted by those laws and might not be applicable but here you need to meet force with EQUAL force. Force legally includes verbal commands and hand gestures, everyone everywhere knows the hand gesture for stop. You are only able to use lethal force in specific circumstances too, ie. stopping an arson, rape, kidnapping or lethal force directed at you or someone else. Being a security guard he may arguably be held to a higher standard since in training (hopefully) he was trained on the applicable laws.

Most corporate security companies will not let you carry something "tactical" like he had, they'd want you to be able to hit the target without the assistance of a laser or red dot. These companies usually have a strict policy on what type of guns you can carry while on duty, usually requiring certain calibers, a decocker or "trigger safety". Regardless of the company policy he will be fired from that job as they wouldn't want their name in the press. Plus as security guard you can get open carry permits for when you're on duty even in the most restrictive states. The issue I find with the guard story is that he isn't wearing any uniform or markings to identify himself ass such, and therefore it appears he may be working for either a small outfit ( working for a corporation like a news agency makes it doubtful) or just a civilian at the time.

At the end of the day it will be decided by either the DA dropping the charges, or the jury. This could play out exactly like the Zimmerman case, he just needs to convince a jury that " a reasonable person" would react in the exact same way. And he's also open to civil lawsuits from the victims family.

My god, that edit was everything.
 

Prominent conservative commentator Charlie Kirk is still blaming “antifa” for a shooting at a protest in Colorado, even after police debunked the claim.


The protest, which took place on Saturday outside of the Denver Art Museum, saw that right-wing protesters holding a “Patriot Rally” were met by counter-protesters running a “BLM-Antifa Soup Drive.”

After an altercation led to a conservative attendee being shot, the Denver Post incorrectly reported that the gunman was associated with left-wing protesters.


The claim quickly spread online and was shared by numerous popular Twitter users, including Andy Ngo and Tim Pool.

But the Denver Police Department revealed not long after that the shooter was actually a private security guard for a local television station and was in no way associated with counter-protesters.

“Further investigation has determined the suspect is a private security guard with no affiliation with Antifa. Additional information will be released as it becomes available,” it wrote.

After the Denver Post retracted the claim, most of the large right-wing accounts did as well. But not Kirk, who continued to make references to antifa long after the allegation had been debunked.


In a transparent effort to bolster the reelection efforts of President Donald Trump, Kirk once again took aim at former Vice President Joe Biden over the incident.

“How many people does ANTIFA have to murder in cold blood before Democrats even acknowledge they exist & they’re a problem,” Kirk tweeted. “This isn’t ‘just an idea’ @JoeBiden – it’s terrorism.”
 
I agree with him on the principle that you cannot be both employed and a member of antifa at the same time. But hey, we've been stuck in the 2016 election for four years now so anything can happen.
