A man who was believed to be part of a peacekeeping team for the โNo Kingsโ protest in Salt Lake City shot at a person who was brandishing a rifle at demonstrators, striking both the rifleman and a bystander who later died at the hospital, authorities said Sunday.
Police took the alleged rifleman, Arturo Gamboa, 24, into custody Saturday evening on a murder charge, Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said at a Sunday news conference. The bystander was Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, a fashion designer from Samoa.
Detectives donโt yet know why Gamboa pulled out a rifle or ran from the peacekeepers, but they accused him of creating the dangerous situation that led to Ah Looโs death...
Redd said the man believed to be part of the peacekeeping team, dressed in a neon green vest, fired three shots from a handgun at Gamboa, inflicting a relatively minor injury but fatally shooting Ah Loo. Redd did not share the manโs name.
Volunteer peacekeeping teams are common for protests, said Sarah Parker, a national coordinator for 50501 Movement, which was a partner in the โNo Kingsโ protest. But the organizers ask attendees, including the peacekeepers, not to bring weapons, she said. Still, Parker said they stopped what couldโve been a larger mass casualty event...
Redd said that the peacekeepersโ actions are also part of the investigation...
To be sure, it is possible that riffle man there would have started shooting into the crowd. But imma guess he pulled out the riffle to intimidate and or shoot people, and then "ran" from the peace keepers because when he yanked out his long gun, the handgun was brandished.
Not a hard one for even the police to piece together there
Me either. Sposed to go out and dig some holes, but the world is wet and gonna get wetter. Seriously contemplating calling out with the excuse of "don't wanna"
I'd love to go dig holes in 98 degree weather with 99.9% humidity, but my frontal lobes will be experiencing a minor compounded delusion event that day....
Ms Marley (9 y.o. Lab mix) woke us up at 3 with a hacking coughโฆand of course like all parents we were up comforting her for hours. Kennel cough? Maybeโฆthe Google says it can last for a couple weeks! Sleep is overrated.
Don't want to be alarmist, but don't let it go on too long. I had a foster dog who arrived with kennel cough that turned into pneumonia a few days later. He spent three days at the vet and we almost lost him.
Happy ending though. I "foster-failed" (adopted) him, and he was my bestest buddy for the next nine years.
We talked to the vetโs office, they said keep an eye on her and as long as it starts to get better in a few days not to worry. But if it doesnโt, bring her in.

Sort of related to Q becoming C, Aston Martin were back at Le Mans at the weekend. Cars are all given two digit numbers, some of which relate to the class the car is running in. Aston Martin get three digit numbers, 007 and 009.
Endurance racing allows pretty much any engine set up, hybrid diesels, hybrid petrol, energy recovery, turbos, superchargers, all the latest techie stuff. Aston Martin said fuck that, we're going old school with a six litre V12, normally aspirated. Which sounds like this:
They pretty much outlawed the diesels by comparing fuel density and putting in rules about overall energy use from all sources. Previously the restriction was on fuel tank size, so diesel gave more energy by volume.
The issue of fees v. taxes has been a huge thing here in Central OK. In order to raise taxes here, lawmakers have to call for a public vote. (They painted themselves into that damn corner.) Anyway, they wanted to raise money for the anti-tabacco fund and so they added a "fee" to the price of cigarettes. The state Supreme Court nixed the scheme and said it was a de facto tax.
CNN reports that the fuckwit who killed the two Minnesota lawmakers has been apprehended, and survived arrest. He's being charged with murder, of course, and Federal charges are being considered.
I pored over the Google satellite view yesterday to try to guess what he would do. There are woods and a creek pretty close to where he ditched the car, and it looks like trees all the way to the Minnesota river, and a rail line on the other side.
But I don't think he had much hope of escaping without help.

Hmm.
Guess THAT peacekeeper won't be invited back.
At a minimum.
So the "peacekeepers" shot and killed a bystander?
Yes, and didn't get arrested (yet).
To be sure, it is possible that riffle man there would have started shooting into the crowd. But imma guess he pulled out the riffle to intimidate and or shoot people, and then "ran" from the peace keepers because when he yanked out his long gun, the handgun was brandished.

-_-
an armed society is a polite society, I am told
Ugh, I do NOT want to sit at my desk for 7 hours today, not one bit.
Ditto.
It's just depressing to me, the world is on fire - but sure, let me clock in and waste my day in a building.
Not that I would be doing anything else more productive, but I just don't want to participate in this economy anymore
Fortunately, I am starting a new volunteer position tonight.
Good luck on that, don't mind me... I'm sure I'm just depressed ๐
Me either. Sposed to go out and dig some holes, but the world is wet and gonna get wetter. Seriously contemplating calling out with the excuse of "don't wanna"
Wonder if that would fly.....
You finish the reports?
I DID
It is now up to boss man to tell me how full of shit I am XD
Not that he would, he is so super nice it hurts, it will be more like "Well....I would probably say....."
It'll work ONLY if stated in the perfect whiney voice.
We do got those mental health days I should use before the end of june. Cause they don't roll over.
You're supposed to ask for those in advance, which makes me lol, because don't most people plan their mental health break downs in advance?
I feel like you should be able to get out of stuff that way.
โSorry, no, planning on experiencing a dissociative event that day.โ
I'd love to go dig holes in 98 degree weather with 99.9% humidity, but my frontal lobes will be experiencing a minor compounded delusion event that day....
Honestly just picturing that I may need to talk to my therapist.
"Well, I'm scheduled for depression next Thursday ..."
Also, I hate that old orange bag of shit.

You mean your Chevy?
... Yes.
I'd have hoped for a Belgian bun as well.
I read that as a Belgian bum. Need moar coffee.
That would be Greg (one G) down the road. Give him a couple of Pink Jammies or a vanilla slice and he'll tell you all about life back in Flanders.
I want butter on this croissant or Iโm putting the queen in your car.
Ha! At first I thought you meant the Queen, and was like, "but she's dead".
I mean, at this point, that would probably also be bad?
Good luck getting a croissant in Greggs.
Tim Walz speaks with appropriate gravitas.
BREAKING: MN assassination suspect in custody I Full Press Conference
MSNBC (24:49) : https://youtu.be/TnrnR1fSMXk
The Homunculus will blather something.
In case you missed it.
"Well, it's a terrible thing. I think he's a terrible governor. I think he's a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too," the president told Scott. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-call-walz-after-minnesota-shootings-calls-grossly/story?id=122870353
I'd hope that Walz gives Trump a verbal noogie followed by a verbal swirlie followed by a phone slam that busts an eardrum.
wow
Whar the press hand wringing over the rhetoric? You know, like how they clutched their pearls at the semi-fascist line
Edit: two typos, one post. more caffeine
Walz: tell him I'm busy and will call him later.
"Tell him to pound sand. With his head."
I'm still convinced when he thinks he's talking to Vlad, he's actually talking to an AI chat bot with voice. And they have cloned Vlad's voice to use.
I'm mildly surprised he didn't bring up the "Kamala became a Black person" with Rachel Scott, the interviewer.
That's what it does. Blathers things.

They were back of the Hypercar pack but put in a solid race and both finished... expect they will use the race data and improve for next year.
Plus they sounded awesome.
Two of my favourite WEC cars in the past were the Audi diesel and the Mazda RX rotaries. They both had a very distinct bellow that got to me.
They pretty much outlawed the diesels by comparing fuel density and putting in rules about overall energy use from all sources. Previously the restriction was on fuel tank size, so diesel gave more energy by volume.
I like it. Adding more systems decreases reliability.

CNN reports that the fuckwit who killed the two Minnesota lawmakers has been apprehended, and survived arrest. He's being charged with murder, of course, and Federal charges are being considered.
NYT mentions he had a notebook with 70 more potential targets, including "politicians, civic and business leaders, and Planned Parenthood centers."
Sounds like a liberal.
(/sarcasm)
Seen on a trail camera, and then located with a drone.
Glad they caught him of course, but wow we live in the future and the future is kinda scary.
I pored over the Google satellite view yesterday to try to guess what he would do. There are woods and a creek pretty close to where he ditched the car, and it looks like trees all the way to the Minnesota river, and a rail line on the other side.
But I don't think he had much hope of escaping without help.
