Shooting at protestors in SLC

[Bo Diddley]

Does this mean no one will get charged or convicted

Hard to prove the rifle dude prompted action that justified being shot at

Definitely hard to say the peacekeeper sidnt fesr the rifle dude going to do what he thought

In Utah there must be a reasonable belief that such force is necessary. The prosecutor would have to prove otherwise. What is a jury going to believe?

I don't think Gamboa was going to do anything or was a threat, but I understand him being perceived as that.
Something this could happen again at a rally of any policies stripe.
I don't think restricting open carry at public events like this should be perceived as taking away second amendment rights.

It seems common-sensicle. I've heard that the organizers of this event did a hasty and shitty job with this on multiple levels.

The so called peacekeeper was just charged with manslaughter.

I don’t love everything about Sim Gill but he seems to get the big cases right. Since he’s been in office I don’t recall thinking he got the charges wrong in a use of force case. His office is slower than cold tar in reviewing stuff but they seem to get it right.
