| Sec. guard who fatally shot Denver protester to be charged with murder |
| 2020-10-16 |
The article is behind about some of the things posted at Rantburg in comments as information has developed, but the murder charge is new. [Jpost] Keltner, 49, died from a single gunshot wound, authorities said. Keltner's son told the Denver Post his father was not affiliated with any group, but was at the rally to support police.A security guard ...illegally unlicensed to work in security or to carry a gun on the job by the city of Denver, long time active member of anarcho-communist organizations with a penchant for picking fights with the target flavour of the month about which he has long posted on social media, he was hired by the Antifa-supporting news station to participate as part of a team in righty-baiting for the purpose of creating exciting footage... hired to protect a Denver television news crew covering dueling rallies by right-wing and left-wing groups will be charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a protester, the city's top prosecutor said on Thursday.Good. It’s really first degree, but with the target randomly chosen at the moment. Denver District Attorney Beth McCann said in a written statement that she will file the murder charge against Matthew Dolloff, 30, in the shooting death of Lee Keltner...loving father and grandfather, happy hat maker, Navy veteran, police supporter... on Saturday. Dolloff has been held without bond in the Denver County jail since his arrest, jail records show.A lawyer for the Dolloff family said he acted in self-defense, local media reported this week. They would do, but it’s a lie — as the station that hired him well knows. The shooting erupted in a courtyard near an art museum in downtown Denver following a "Patriot Rally" and a counter-demonstration dubbed a "BLM-Antifa Soup Drive."Dolloff opened fire with a semiautomatic handgun after Keltner hit him in the face and sprayed him with a chemical agent following a "verbal altercation" between the two men, as demonstrators from both sides were dispersing, police said. An image of the incident captured by a Denver Post photographer showed Keltner spraying the chemical at Dolloff, who was pointing a gun at Keltner. Keltner, 49, died from a single gunshot wound, authorities said. Keltner's son told the Denver Post his father was not affiliated with any group, but was at the rally to support police. Dolloff was hired through the Pinkerton agency ..a big mistake that may make it impossible for Pinkerton to continue working in the city, which seems only fair in return for them neglecting their legal duty to ensure that those they send on the job are legally permitted to do it... to provide security for a crew from KUSA-TV, an NBC News affiliate, the station said in a statement, adding it requested that security personnel be unarmed.Pinkerton said on Twitter that Dolloff was not an employee "but rather a contractor agent from a long standing industry vendor." And who might that be? Pinkerton has been remarkably silent on the subject... If convicted of second-degree murder, Dolloff faces a mandatory sentence of between 16 and 48 years in prison, McCann said. Try him fair and bung him up long. |

| #12 They want it all for themselves and none for you. This is why I just SMH at "conservatives" and "libertarians" who are excited at the prospects for 2nd Amendment protections now that lefties profess to love guns. Sure--they'll love guns for their own use; you'll still need to surrender yours though. "Red flag, MFer!" The spergatarians never fail to be dumb while telling us how smart they are. |

| #8 Facebook and Instagram have banned Benghazi hero John ‘Tig’ Tiegen after Trump supporter Lee Keltner was murdered at his patriot rally in Denver. The former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant was one of the brave men who helped defend the U.S. consulate in Benghazi when it was attacked by radical Islamic terrorists in 2012. Tiegen organized the patriot rally that took place in Denver on Saturday, where Keltner was shot and killed by Matthew Robert Doloff, a leftist activist who was hired to do security for local station 9News — despite not being licensed to do so. |

| #7 Dead guy's family should get an ambitious lawyer to civilly sue Dolloff, Fox9, and Pinkertons/contract firm. Don't depend on Denver DA to deliver any kind of justice |
