Interesting type of antisemitism, “we need to be kind to the Jews, they have powers beyond our imagination and will surely destroy us all.”

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.

A part of the Christian imperialist worldview, the idea that ‘Man is above animal and they were created by God to be used as Man sees fit’, has been the cause of endless horrors. Without this human-supremacist view they would treat other people better too, even if their enemies were ‘subhuman’, if they had compassion for animals.

It makes me think of the connection between ‘masculinity’ and eating meat in the West. It’s seen as effeminate to eat vegetables or be vegan, this idea helps reinforce a worldview centered on violence and exploitation.

Maybe it’s a user traffic thing, it worked fine for me on mobile, they usually do but sometimes videos embedded like that won’t play

So they are valid combatants then?

Probably around 12, I wonder how many similar incidents were inspired by that movie, or people throwing tools at each other

No one believes me when I tell them this story

I saw NYT or some article saying like “Iran’s assault has slowed since the beginning, likely indicating they are nearly out of missiles.” It’s like the Ukraine war, “Russia didn’t take Kyiv in 3 days like they planned so they are about to collapse and retreat.”

But ‘Nazi’ is not an ethnic group, they are not a type of human but people who have come together in their goal of purifying the white race which is a genocidal ideology. Nazis should be eradicated, this is not a controversial position.

Iran says it will mine the strait of Hormuz if the U.S. enters the conflict

Gas prices are going to skyrocket aren’t they? Every day another reason I’m glad I bike

It’s just their way of saying “This isn’t even my final form!!”

These rallies were happening regardless, you can take that opportunity to connect people that have a sentiment against the status quo and help lead them into a socialist cause rather then let them be corralled by the corporate dems that co-opt every movement. I didn’t take this post as advocating anything like entryism or support for the US structure.

It’s definitely better on the ground, the online optics are heavily astroturfed. In my area it wasn’t all red white and blue and there were Palestine flags and true leftist energy, definitely still a bit libby but I think jack is right that these types of rallies have good potential because there is radical energy in many people, many have seen over and over how even the dems are enemies to true progress, and there are many in orgs working to counter the corpo co-opting.

They do eat fruit and veg they find in the wild, I can’t imagine it’s that common they find a sliced watermelon though haha. My dog would eat blackberries off the bush, it blew my mind when I first saw it (I was 10).

Ah right, I forgot two people were shot at that incident, one killed. That was where it was my suspicion that private security connected to businesses or the city was involved. A few people that posed as protesters but were hired by the city/some org to co-opt the protest were seen cleaning the scene and talking to police-aligned private security the next morning at the location of the shooting, police didn’t show up til hours after and never investigated.

It was that shooting that they used as impetus to shut down the zone, separately there was also a random parked car firebombed in a very suspicious manner on the same block some night soon after.

No, I wasn’t trying to imply anyone would know that, just that based on the info that’s come out it doesn’t seem like he was planning a mass shooting.

Remorse? What do you think he was planning? The person in black that was shot was present at several protests in SLC armed, a known leftist, I guess I can’t say for certain but it’s highly doubtful he was there to do a mass shooting. I have seen many people that looked exactly like the guy in black holding rifles at numerous protests since 2020. Though yeah I understand how someone would be afraid, but the ‘security’ did not seem properly trained for this and I would guess will get some kind of involuntary manslaughter charge, if anyone gets charged in the end.

One thing I’ve been seeing commented on reddit is the idea that he ran toward the crowd and so the shooting was justified, it’s hard to tell from this video the exact timing because of the distance but he appears to run after being shot. I’ve seen this reported by others as well, not sure if that’s based on this video or actual witnesses. Police stated they are investigating the shooter and may bring charges against him.
