The volunteer, tasked with security for the march and later identified as Matt Alder, saw Gamboa assembling a legally owned, legally carried AR-15-style rifle near the march in downtown Salt Lake City on June 14. Alarmed, Alder called for another volunteer security guard before drawing a concealed handgun. As Gamboa tried to rejoin the march, Alder opened fire, hitting Gamboa and killing Ah Loo.
Immediately after the shooting, police arrested Gamboa on a murder charge. The arresting officer claimed that Gamboa’s actions had created the situation that caused Alder to fear for his life and the lives of others, prompting Alder to open fire.
As a result Gamboa was blamed for Ah Loo’s death for having “acted under circumstances that showed a depraved indifference to human life, knowingly engag[ing] in conduct that created a grave risk of death and ultimately caused the death of an innocent community member,” according to a police statement.
Gamboa was held without bail for five days under suspicion of committing a violent felony. Police briefly detained Alder but did not take him into custody.
Liberals listen up: you should get used to guns; peaceful protests probably aren’t going to fix a fucking thing. Real leftist violence, or at least the threat of it, is what is going to possibly correct this ship.
And if the anti-Trump crowd could stop broadcasting “Peace at all costs” and start growling a bit, Republicans wouldn’t be brazenly pushing through 50% of Project 2025 in the first year of Trump’s term. We probably didn’t even need to fire a shot… except now, where Republicans Know we aren’t going to do shit. Now with the surveillance networks like Flock, I doubt this administration will show any hesitation ever again.
Instead we get people chuckling “Oh I hope it won’t be that long” and going on their day… It doesn’t have to be, but it will be if you let it.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a great speaker; but it was the Black Panthers and the rioters that got the Civil Rights Act passed. Non-violence has a place, but it can’t be the whole picture. Especially when people are being tortured in Alligator Auschwitz.
