And my own father is 'whatabouting' about the nurse who spoke at the RNC that non-fatally wounded a woman during an argument.

All because he doesn't want to admit his anti-Trump rhetoric (as in get him out at any cost) feeds into this.

I’ve heard it said before that people who live into adulthood or middle aged and above, have personalities or default beliefs and attitudes that can barely be changed even in the face of evidence

Something about brains

But I think that’s bullshit for the most part

Unless it was in self defense there is absolutely no excuse for this.

What others have said or done, it doesn't matter.

We will need to wait till more evidence comes out to be sure. There's still a chance it was self defense somehow..but from what I can see it just looks like an execution

As I've said many times, having Trump gear or being an open Trump supporter in public in Denver is not safe.

Outside town it can be relatively safe, but in town, and particularly in downtown, nope. Even when not at rallies, it's asking for harassment at minimum.

If I wasn't at home because of my father's memory issues, and trying to keep him safe from Covid (which has turned out to be likely unnecessary as it is far more easily treatable than first thought), I would have ditched this town months ago.

Another vid, showing the lead up to the shooting:


The orange cloud seen in the first video is pepperspray from the man who was shot.

So a spray happened first and then a shot.

That complicates matters.

Did he spray to defend from the gun, or was the gunshot to defend from the spray? Damn I wish they had recorded a few feet to the right

I've seen a still on the Discord, the spray went out just as the gun aligned with his head.

So it seems the spray was him trying to defend himself from the guy pulling the gun.

That lines up with the audio I heard. That gun shot is pretty fast after the spray starts
There's another twist; apparently the shooter was a private security guard for a local news station, 9News, not Antifa.

That's going to have big implications, if this guy was a hired guard for a media group.

Here's a link to the Denver Post article, it has the story and the still from when the shot was fired:

It's nothing hardwired into the brain, and has more to do with people not wanting to admit they were wrong, and still being attached to the reasons they made a decision in the first place.

At minimum this is probably going to end in a lawsuit against the security company.

This coming so soon after Olberman called for 'expunging Trump supporters'...no, this may end up being looked at as the media having their goon kill a Trump supporter.\

Edit: 9News is a CBS station, and they are one of the most anti-Trump media groups out there.

In the end, I think you have to get through them first by showing how there are different tactics to reach their ideal utopia

Fucking barbarians these Leftists are

Trump supporters need to arm themselves, if they wearing anything pro trump in public.

That will result in said Trump supporters being arrested near-automatically and the media will destroy them specifically the moment they pull a gun even if they don't shoot it, all while editing out what caused the guy to pull it out or downplay the "peaceful protestors"'s "peaceful threats"

They'll even arrest you if you do it in your own home
