TV crew security guard shoots 'Patriot Muster' protester dead after he fired mace at him as cops race to the scene amid angry clashes between BLM and right wing demonstrators in Denver
Andy Ngo tweets here.
[MAIL] Denver police have arrested a private security guard working for a television crew on suspicion of murder after he shot and killed a man believed to be part of a 'Patriot Muster' rally outside the Denver Art Museum.

The Patriot Muster protester maced the security guard, who then pulled out his handgun and shot him dead, the Denver Post reported - with their photographer capturing the moment in an astonishing image.

Denver Police Department (DPD) confirmed on Saturday night the profession of the shooter, and that he had no affiliation with the Patriot Muster's rival BLM-Antifa protesters.

The security guard was working for 9News.

'A 9NEWS employee and a 9NEWS contractor were taken into custody,' the channel stated, saying that the second of the two people was not connected to the shooting.

'The private security guard was contracted through Pinkerton by 9NEWS. It has been the practice of 9NEWS for a number of months to hire private security to accompany staff at protests.'

#1 The MSM is now doing literally what they had previously been doing metaphorically to us.

#2 Right at the boiling point. The first few weeks of November could be very interesting. Sad day for our country.

#3 So what did the security guard do to get maced?

#4 There was a secondary argument going on nearby. I suspect the guy with the gun drew his weapon and the guy with mace saw someone pulling a weapon and maced the armed stranger and the armed man retaliated.

And the FBI needs to get busy infiltrating and disrupting Blamtifa

#8 (1) Wanna bet the reporter that the shooter was guarding is an ardent proponent of gun control?

(2) He put down the attacker, and only the attacker, after being Maced. Respectable.

#9 It is now for the courts to decide. It would appear the guard was being bullied then pushed. Outnumbered and apparently being surrounded, fair warning was given and the bullying escalated. I suspect the mob at least saw the "print" of the security guard's pistol. Was their intent to disarm the guard? Fortunately only the fat bully went down. Could have been much, much worse.

#10 If you mace a Police officer, he can't shoot you and if he did he'd be charged with murder. So the Liberal Media's Security Guards should be treated no differently and charged with Murder.

I'd like also hear the whole story.... Like what lead up to the Macing? But it being media I am sure the CTMA spin-cycle is at full cover-up.

#12 Riots are not the place to start bringing out weapons individually. You may have the right of self defense but the prosecutors will go after you and ignore the rioters. Stay away from crowds and mobs. If you are armed, better be in a well disciplined group protecting people and property. We are not at total anarchy—-yet.

#13 Lots over at ZH. Guy is a Bernie Bro, Occupy drone, hass lots of "likes" for left wing content in his socmed feeds and his "music company" has donated to various antifa/blm groups.

Ding-ding-DING!

#16 Confirmed, the shooter is a dedicated leftist and was a member of Occupy Denver. His FB and Instagram accts have been crawled through. Confirmation of ID was through the Space Invaders tattoo on his wrist.

#17 IMO, best guess is 9 News Colorado probably hired Antifa scum as both security and as bait for a “news gathering” creation, & then went trolling to try to get footage of a (provoked) fight. IMO, looks like there were at least three people in on the plan:

1) the 9 News “producer,”

2) the Antifa “security,” Matt Doloff, and

3) the young man who kept trying to provoke a fight (IMO, bait) — probably also Antifa.

i think the guy who was shot and killed figured it all out and was confronting the producer, and the security drew down on him, and killed him when he used mace in response.

#18 So the PRESS are protected by BLM thugs?

that would explain a lot of their "coverage".

#19 The antifa goons have been wearing helmets and tactical vests with PRESS emblazoned on them for a while now. When a few jurisdictions suddenly insisted on actual press credentials, they didn't seem to have much trouble getting them.

#21 Since its inception in 1850, the Pinkerton Detective Agency has worked for those that could afford it, often with predictable results. History repeats itself...again. Wikipedia has a decent enough write-up on its history, good and bad.

#22 See the shooter's weapon?
EOTech sight, nightlight, supressor sights and threads. He was well practiced at imagining he was going to shoot someone.

#25 That is 2 people Antifa has murdered in the past 2 months. And Trump said they are terrorists and he was ridiculed.

#26 Regarding #12: Riots are a great place to track Antifa from the riot to where ever they came from as an intelligence gathering operation.

#27 Agreed ESB4589. Intelligence gathering is paramount. M’Lady made 2 trips to Seattle in the last 4 months. Here is the plan we had.
1. Gather intelligence. Make a map of Seattle in your AO.
2. Gather reports of demos or riots. Mark on the map. Same with nearby potential threats
3. Mark avoidance routes as a contingency.

Our trips were uneventual. On one trip we diverted to I 405 around seattle because of antifa possibility of throwing rocks on cars or stopping traffic on I 5. They did stop traffic on our return trip. Remember the principle of the seven Ps::
Prior
Proper
Planning
Prevents

Performance.

#28 Security Guard Shooter has an Antifa tattoo on his wrist

Trying to identify it; Lefty had an anarchist tat on his left arm as well.

#29 WZ has some video which shows that it was not a life/death situation.

Furthermore, the "Media" appears to be some diksmak with a safety vest with Press stenciled on it.

#30 Alaska Paul thank you and yours for your service as "We the People.". Regardless of the outcome, your actions are impressive to me. If the left is successful in collapsing law enforcement, the right critical intelligence will make up the difference quickly.

#31 Sequence of events - it appears that BEFORE the mace, the shooter attempted to disarm the victim, who then stepped back. The shooter then drew his pistol, assumed a firing stance and aimed at the victims head, and cocked the weapon. There is a picture of exactly this moment. Weapon drawn, finger on trigger, aimed at victim, but no mace spray yet.

This was murder, pure and simple.

#32 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8827241/Protester-shot-seriously-injured-Denver-demonstration.html

Look carefully - the mace is not even to the shooter, but the barrel is exposed and the frame is in full recoil, meaning the pistol was discharged and likely impacted the victim at the exact time of this photo. The murderer shot first.
