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.

    It was only a matter of time before the state goons would start killing innocent civilians with total impunity. That’s what happens in dictatorships.

    I misundertood who the peacekeeper worked for.

        The peacekeeper was hired by the protest organizers.

        You’re commenting on article that says they were volunteers…

        Just like every other article has.

        Where is this bullshit that they were paid employees coming from?

        And that’s not even getting into why a private organization paying someone would authorize them legally to murder bystanders?

          I stand corrected that they were paid. I missed that. In my research to verify that I also learned that it is unknown how the peacekeepers were trained and that they were asked not to carry weapons. That makes two stupid people carrying guns getting a third innocent person killed.

          Downvoted for the suggestion that anyone was legally authorized to murder bystanders. That is just a nonsensical statement intended to upset people.

            Congratulations on your “research” that could have been handled by reading literally any numbers of articles instead of just social media comments.

            Like, you could have just read this single article.

            I swear the kids are fucking cooked these days…

      They didn’t work for anyone…

      They were unpaid volunteers and one of the only requirements to do so was they couldn’t carry a gun.

      And they obviously had a gun, because they shot two people killing one. Because they saw a person legally carrying a gun and panicked.

      It’s great you edited your comment, but you still just believed a random social media account. One that either intentionally or unintentionally is spreading misinformation.

      Just take the two minutes to read the article you’re commenting on. And please just stop blindly taking anything and anonymous social media account tells you
