  • allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8 p.m., Redd said.

    When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd.

    That’s when one of the men dressed in the vests shot three rounds, hitting Gamboa and Ah Loo, said Redd. Gamboa, who police said didn’t have a criminal history, was wounded and treated before being booked into jail.

    Emphasis mine. If that’s true, that could have become a mass shooting.
    Still sucks to be the innocent bystander though.





  • I was half-expecting these to start blasting protesters with their water cannons, I’m pleasantly surprised reminded that firefighters are good people.

    Reading the comments over there, that makes sense actually.
    This one in particular sums it up pretty well:

    Firefighters will destroy capital to save a life, police will take a life to preserve capital.








  • Aye, most of that activity was generated through user error on my end.
    Jet is legit, but got caught by the bot or something and then the manual unban didn’t work right… so I site-banned them again (from sjw) and unbanned them, to try to make it federate, it was a bit of a mess. Lemmy generates community bans with site bans, not sure why that didn’t undo with the unban.
    Either way, totally my fault.

    Seems the content in the screenshot was from !networking@sh.itjust.works.
    They were indeed still banned from that community, but shouldn’t have been, I’ve unbanned them manually.
    I’ll check the other communities too.
