CAMARILLO, Calif. (KABC) – During the chaotic clashes between demonstrators and federal agents following an immigration raid at a farm near Camarillo Thursday, one individual was spotted allegedly firing a weapon towards agents.

AIR7 captured the moment a person at the demonstration near the Laguna Road facility appeared to fire a gun at federal agents, moments after the agents fired smoke canisters at the crowd in an attempt to disperse them.

No injuries were reported.

The FBI has now launched an investigation into the alleged shooting and is offering a reward up to $50,000 for information leading to a conviction.

    BS. In the video I didn’t see the dude’s hand show any signs of recoil, and not a single person responded in any way. No flinches, no heads turned, nothing.

    The People have shown remarkable restraint under this authoritarian oppression so far.

        The liberals have been on a crusade against the second amendment for decades. The people who have and know how to use guns ARE the fascists…

          Having the leading cause of childhood fatalities in your house is a tough hurdle to jump for most liberals. Of all the reasons to break that rule this is a pretty good one. I’ll just have to heart attack myself to sleep every night.

            Heads up that stat is disingenuous. It was taken during covid (which contributed to a decline in the true cause, auto fatalities), included “children ages 0-19” (some of which are decidedly not legally children), and only took place in a few major cities (IIRC NYC, LA, CHI, BAL, and one or two more I can’t recall because it’s been 5+yr,) all cities known for their gang problems. Gangs which often ensnare kids as young as elementary school to deliver packages, but it usually starts to get more violent at ~15-18. Most of the kids shot were involved in that life, which is still a problem yes, but it’s usually spun as if 5yos are mostly dying from school shootings, which simply isn’t the case and the methodology was flawed to give that false impression. If they’d have done it with a wider sample it likely would have still been car crashes even then, and it’s certainly back by now.

          Kindly fuck yourself with the green end of a pineapple. What do you want me to do?! Drop everything and run out to LA?! They’re not in my hood yet because we have guns.

          While you’re at it, come to my street and tell all the old black people with guns that they’re fascists. Fucking dare you.

            You’re misreading my frustration. There’s lots of people in the same boat as you. It’s a categorical fact that the right wing has been fostering a culture of gun ownership being American and a direct FU to the libtards. It’s a categorical fact they have the guns and most people who have been eating up the Democratic party slop for the past decade probably doesn’t own guns and wouldn’t know how to use them in any meaningful way against a group that has shaped their whole personality around being armed.

    This is actually a very appropriate response to illegal behavior from law enforcement. We need more of it, with larger groups.

    When the police are involved in the crime, you’ve no other reasonable choice.

    I hope that person who snatched on Luigi got paid that 50k
