#nbcnews #newmexico #shooting
Yes, people will DEFINITELY listen to your perspective once you threaten every man, women, and child at a peaceful protest. Makes total sense.
It didn’t look very peaceful, was that a 3 on 1 fight beforehand.
Insurrection aren’t peaceful protests. I thought you people would be happy an insurrectionist got shot.
MAGA solution for everything life: more guns! MAGA causes of all life problems: WOKE. MAGA leaders: TRUMP
Fake news
The rest of the world tease and laugh at Americans who shoot 44 other Americans each and every day is real.
Open your eyes. Call someone you know overseas and ask if what I’m saying is fake.
😂
How is it fake??
Clown
You’re the reason why your country is doomed. 😢
Commie groomers gonna learn to-DAY.
It’s just too easy to pull the trigger and make your point. Why is it so normal nowadays to hurt others severe?
We live in a society of senseless violence
because he could of been beaten to death by the mob that was surrounding him?
Must be a Trump supporter 😡😡
Bottom line you’ll NEVER take the guns this is the standard. Stay home….or deal with the real world like adults.
TDS MUCH
I thought NM had a new law ending open-carry?? These gun nuts must be stopped ASAP.
Yea they need tanks….
Look who’s talking
Man, you have a Ukraine flag and you wanna talk about banning open carry? You, obviously, in your core, fully support guns and the ability to defend yourself against hostile intent if you’re waving that flag. Don’t be a hypocrite.
Not even that the support of the Anti Chirst NATO
As usual…. news with …NO NEWS.
Republican.
If Congress wont pass common sense gun laws then these individuals found guilty of these heinous crimes should be sentenced to the firing squad within 48 hours of being found guilty. The 25 to life sentence is a waste of tax payers money.
So you advocate stopping gun violence with guns 😂😂😂😂
There are 2 places that I think has that kind of laws: China and North Korea. Why don’t you live there and tell us how it goes.
Innocent until proven guilty
@Blake Thomas yeah that’s what they say but we know that’s not necessarily true
We don’t need any more gun laws we already have all the gun laws that we need we just need to actually enforce them
IT IS NOT NECESSESARY TO ASK WHO IT WAS.🤣🤣🤪
100 bucks the shooter voted for trump.
The election didn’t happen yet… So how would that make sense?
Wait till the government stats doing this to you because of voter fraud and you want to stop it so they shoot you too shut you up

Here’s an idea… “Thanks for watching!” from Lester Holt is not what we ought to see and hear after somebody just got shot!
If you journalists want to be taken seriously, take a look at what you’re putting out there. Reassess.
i hope everyone is safe.
I’ve said the same. Chirpy Lester Holt right after senseless carnage is a bad look.
Now look at all the foreign translation you click on translate to English and it doesn’t tell you the English wonder what they’re saying huh
American culture.
I’m as confused as everybody.
When will you Americans ever learn? What did you think would happen with your obsession with guns as you quote your ridiculously antiquated 2nd amendment rights? Good guys with guns to kill bad guys with guns?? Haha! Live with it.
This is why yalls governor took your guns away
screw western democracy.
screw liberal democracy.
screw capitalism.
screw liberty.
screw nationalism.
Screw rule of law..
screw wealth inequality.
screw homosexuality.
screw tolerance.
screw western decadance.
screw the degenerate right-wing monopoly capitalist liberal bourgeois class.
“Wrong way” is right!
Bumpkins gone bad.
There is more to this story:
This gathering was in regards to a statue of a controversial figure in NM’s history.
This statue had been postponed a couple times before due to the controversy.
If that is the case, why were there no police already there?
The shooter was wearing a hoodie, in NM of all places. If you notice everyone else there is wearing short sleeves and a lot are wearing shorts.
This speaks to situational awareness
Really? Situational awareness is your takeaway?
@Hudson H yes
@OG Tank so what would u have done in this situation?
@Hudson H Preferably, not be there 8n the first place. Now let’s says I didn’t have a choice and I had to be there. I carry. I also position myself strategically wherever I go. I would have been hanging back on the perimeter and keeping my head on a swivel. As soon as I saw someone in a dessert region during the day in a hoodie I would’ve been alert and took off. if I had others with me I would’ve grabbed them and been out. The only way I would’ve engaged the person is if I was in a position where I had no other way to get away.
wrong info
Typical American 🇺🇲 Day
This is a stage situation. 1 counter protester shows up in a hoodie in New Mexico in the heat. Right after the Govenor try’s to ban guns. If it wasn’t staged the man had every right to fire. He was being attacked by a mob of protestors. He had a right to defend himself. He fired 1 shot in defense then got away. He didn’t just open fire on the whole crowd. Did what he had to do to get away from a mob.
Got ALL that from THIS video? Ya got super eyes or are you just a precog : )?
You lose the right to self defense if you provoke the attack
@Danchen10491 Simply protesting something. Which is what he was doing. Can not be considered provoking. I can go to a Biden speech wearing a Trump hat in protest,. You can’t say i provoked the attack. Freedom of speech is not provacation. He had a right to protest without threat of attack or harm.
Its another video on tele- gram shows upclose footage it looks like s planned event for sure. The shooter jumped the wall to get attacked so he could shoot…..staged.
Its weird how you show only people running💩headless
Who was in the Tesla ?
what tesla
It’s time to repeal the second amendment.
Then the 1st amendment will follow 🤡
just put it into your home only. Not at protests. Problem solved.
Good luck
Any man who is unable to defend themselves with their bare hands and uses a firearm or any weapon is a coward at best and definitely not a man…FACT!
Every time you see something like this, ask yourself This question, does that city have a Democrat mayor?
And yall wonder why the governer wants to ban guns 🙄
And yall wonder why we call YOU the fascists. 🙄
@PIndyJonesthis makes no sense
@amyhayutin1738 fascists want to take people’s guns. Non fascists don’t care if people have guns or not. That’s the best I can do. There is no scratch and sniff here.
Your reasoning is like a third grader seems you’re easily lead based on very limited information.
Hit 200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in June 2022
The info on the comment is correct, That’s his Whatsappinfo
Who is this Mr HAO LUO that everyone is talking about?
Mr HAO LUO is a Chinese billionaire that has helped so many individuals grow financially and I’m happy to be part of the people he has helped.
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!, No doubt we’re already in recession, but the worst is yet to come. My greatest happiness is the $18,600 biweekly profit i get consistently
After watching so many YouTube tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses untill Mr HAO LUO started managing my investment now, I make $6,800 weekly. God bless Mr Jeffrey he has been a blessing to my
Bahaha….” controversial statue “? Why won’t they say what statue it was and why? What’s the big secret? Bahaha….
Yeah we don’t need gun control right?
cant protest anymore without someone coming up, attacking and then you self defend, and then he shoots you as “self defense”.
@Croissant Lover And who decides what is murderers and who decides what is self-defense? Depending on who you are and what you look like in America this country isn’t exactly Fair now is it?
Look at those men attacking him its like 3 or 4 on 1. Kid weights like 80 lbs.
More Americans have been killed BY Americans in AMERICA than ALL the foreign wars combined that Americans have fought in ,mainly thanks to the second amendment …
People expressing their right to free speech mobbed a young man expressing his, self defense all day!
Can u explain I keep seeing this
You can’t take any chances with people approaching a crowd with a gun, too many mass shootings in this country, you never know their intentions.
he could have shot in the air, none of them had guns either. He brought a gun to a fist fight. If one of them killed him by shooting after he fired, now that was self defense my friend.
From what I understand he instigated the fight because he kept trying to bum-rush their prayer session
MAGA, home of the unhinged.
Right wing terrorism strikes again.
Probably an American.
Probably a Democrap.
Self defense.the injured was sent from Washington to protest. This people are not from Espanola.
Talk vs gun. Democracy freely allows one, but can’t allow the other in response or we accept fascism as a way of life. The idea that we constitutionally allow our citizens to be armed to challenge our own elected government is a lie and delusion that the GOP pushes. It is not true. Period.
I do agree with you but he did run in and attack them first. He could have pointed the gun at them or shot into the air when he was over the wall, but he didnt. He shot one of them instead.
And the shooter had a red maga hat on. Imagine that. All because he didn’t agree with a controversial statue.
Or he didn’t agree with the local protesters who were tired of looking at a statue of a myrderous colonizer.
Should of stopped the first boats when they landed! Every country in this world sent there undesirables to this continent and this is the end result! 1:11
The land of entrapment, can’t say I miss ya but miss a few friends. Ahui hou🤙
Why is it so important for these politically charged people to erect statues of a Spanish conquistador that has nothing to do with the honor of the United States of America?
These magical people just looking for anything that is at verse to the people that prejudice against.
I think it’s kind of anti-American to put up a statue in honor of a Spanish conquistador instead of heroes of today’s Nation.
Protect guns. Not stupid woke people
Arriba Homies. Long Live Trump
🙄This is what passes as journalism in 2023💩
Where are the relevant facts and context?
he also had a high-tech hat that is invisible to news media cowards.
if he had an antifa hat do you think fox news would ignore it?
classic case of shooter feeling threatened for his life. He jumped over a stone wall and the attacker followed him and thats when the shooter defends himself. Thats just what I can see from this video.
yeah, can confirm with another video. Young skinny guy in blue hoodie was getting mobbed by large grown men, he tried to get away twice and on the third time he managed to get enough space to pull his tool and defend himself.
@Based Bible Chad no, he jumped over the wall 3 times. first away from the group, then he runs along the wall and over it again TOWARD the group. then while being grappled he jumps over a third time, away from them, turns around, pulls his gun that was in his waistband, not a holster for SOME STRANGE REASON and shoots. go look at the video. and does that look like a second gun in his waistband? gee, wonder what he had planned.
This is these people’s most exciting time in a long time. hahahahahaha
