Provo police have confirmed that one person was shot during a protest Monday night near the police department.

They have no right to block the roadway.

Just a “protestor” at work:
A male protester ran to the SUV on the passenger side, pointed a handgun at (the) driver and shot one round through the window,”
Isn’t there another word for a person who attempts to commit murder than mere “protestor”?
Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi denounced the violence. “Peaceful protests are a fundamental right and often can become an important catalyst for positive change. Criminal acts and violence such as we saw last night in Provo were anything but peaceful and are unacceptable,”
Another squish mayor letting loose more touchy-feely liberal pablum.

At some point some geniuses decided it was okay to let these pukes blocks roads.

The more they allow "peaceful" protesters to block roads and deny other citizens the right to go where they want the more and more this type of thing is bound to happen.

"Michelle Kaufusi is an American politician currently serving as the mayor of Provo, Utah. Kaufusi was born and raised in Provo. She studied at Brigham Young University (BYU) where she received a degree in geography. Prior to her election as mayor Kaufusi served for six years as a member of the Provo School Board. Kaufusi is a Latter-day Saint."

Maybe she's a romneytard.

If they are shooting at folks they are NOT “protestors”.

May as well call a Planned Parenthood clinic an pediatric emergency room.

This is why the pukes are so shocked when someone runs them down. They have been led to believe that their violent actions are covered under "peaceful protests".

Always be armed. Avoid areas where there may be trouble. If trouble comes your way and you must fight use every skill u have to kill the aggressor within the laws of your state.

The best gun fight is the one that does not happen. The second best is the one u have no choice to attend and win.

Oddly when one is carrying bad guys pick up on ur confidence when u look them straight in the eye. They know u have a weapon and will use it. They will move on to a different victim.

The psychology of riot is completely different. They think they have great strength due to numbers and they do. Drop the few in front with high caliber weapons and the riot is over..oddly those needing killing are in back instigating the riot

The best way to disperse them is to throw bars of soap at them.

If the violence starts getting directed back toward antifa, most of them will be running back to theirs mommy’s basement.

Shouldn’t a peaceful protesting shooter use a suppressor?

I don’t consider these pukes to be rioters anymore, I consider them Domestic Enemies.
