I’ll say it again: there are no external circumstances that ever justify shooting someone for slapping you and backing up when there are cops everywhere around you.


I can certainly come up with some, but that's really not the point. He very well may be guilty of murder and should go to jail for the rest of his life. The point is that without more context here, we really have no business forming political narratives around this case.

An overzealous and heated security guard shooting someone without justification is a VERY different narrative than an ANTIFA member shooting a Trump supporter in cold blood on that basis.

He was there ostensibly to provide personal security to a client, a staff member of 9News Denver. He is not there to attempt to disarm a person who is participating in the demonstrations and had seconds before been involved in a heated confrontation. He created a subsequent confrontation by reaching for the mace and when the victim resisted he unlawfully used lethal force in a situation that did not require it.

Is that enough for you?

I’m not arguing any narrative. I’m arguing whether or not you’re watching a murder in that gif.

For your narrative, there’s a ton of info on the shooter on the main thread.

He is a leftist Bernie bro that posted shite on Facebook about calling trump supporters racists and apparently moonlights as an unlicensed security guard.

You say that you are former Army and have two tours under your belt and believe you can fire a warning shot in downtown Denver?

That deserves a

Then he's guilty of murder, open and shut. But we're not talking about this because some random dude murdered another random dude in Denver. We're talking about this because many (not saying you or anyone in particular) are framing this as a case of liberals hunting down and killing Trump supporters. That's what is up in the air.

He was not hunting per se. He was fantasizing (in a very macabre way). And the reality of what he did came crashing down when the victim crumpled to the ground. The look of a abject terror on his face when the police surrounded him told the tale. He was not a hardened Antifa like the individual who did stalk his victim in Portland. But he is going to prison for life.

The GIF posted appears to have some frames removed.

However, the third frame you posted shows all that is needed to be shown, as you can clearly see that at the point that the pepper spray was deployed the shooters weapon has ALREADY been fired. You can see the casing has been ejected, the slide has been pushed back, and even the smoke from the chamber. At this point the bullet has been fired but has not exited the barrel. This frame shows this man’s literal last moment standing.

RIP to the victim.

Does this video really help prove murder by soy bitch? Biker bro was aggressor in previous altercation. Slapped the bitch, maced him, and then got shot.

He slapped him because the security guard was reaching for his mace.

The shooting took place five seconds after the first incident. Why was there even a confrontation between two random individuals who did not even know each other? Because the “security guard” tried to disarm him which was not his responsibility.

There was no reason for lethal force. None.

He was reaching for his weapon while the victim has his hands at his side.

And? You can't shoot someone in the head for spraying mace at you. The mace didn't even make it to the shooter. If it had do you really think he could have made that head shot?

Here are the stills. The assailant is reaching for his weapon after the initial slapping incident. The victim has his hands at his side. No mace has been deployed. The assailant has already chosen to escalate to a lethal force option. In the third photo the weapon has already discharged.

End of thread.

Nah Colonel Sanders, yer wrong.

Second still shows the shooter drawing his weapon. Victim has hands at his side. Shooter has decided to deploy lethal force BEFORE the threat of mace was presented. So, if anything, the mace was deployed in defense against the gun.

Correct. Sequence of events is pretty much settled now. “Security guard” (no license or bond - he is in a heap of trouble) attempts to disarm the victim of his mace. The victim resists with a slap to the “security guard.” Assailant immediately transitions to lethal force. Open and shut of unjustified use of lethal force. Murder. Just depends upon what degree they will prosecute.
