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

The victim, a 60-year-old Provo resident, remained hospitalized Tuesday but was “stable,” according to police. The man was not part of the protest or counter-protest that had been going on, but was just driving in the area, said Provo Police Sgt. Nisha King.

Leftists on Twitter are claiming the shooters were “standing their ground” and “have a right to kill the driver” since he “attacked them with a deadly weapon.”

Shooter was on the left side of the vehicle and was not in any danger.

The twits are full of ****.

Very soon the whole "stand in front of a vehicle" routine will become very dangerous for the mobsters.

I’m not going to wait for windows to get broken.

Do not allow them to block the vehicle. Drive away. If anyone steps in the path, that is too bad. They are trying to exploit your good nature, they’ve already revealed theirs.

Correct headline reads: “Gunman shot driver, then hid weapon and continued to protest, Provo police say”

On Monday, a group calling itself Back to Blue planned to drive around the Provo Police Department and honk their horns to show support for law enforcement.

Another group planned a counter protest at the same time and place. On Facebook, their event page was originally titled End Police Brutality but was later changed to Marching for Racial Equality. The Facebook pages list the event’s hosts as the groups Insurgence, Solidarity for Justice, Salt Lake Equal Rights Movement and the Salt Lake Antifascist Coalition."

I wouldn’t think this would happen in Utah. I know in Texas, vehicles have the right of way. We have a carjacking law, so people with guns who try and stop vehicles can be shot.

I could always see it happening in Utah, plenty of prominent politicians and religious leaders of the main religion of Utah, Mormonism, have made their offers to appease BLM. They invited them in.

“Insurgence” aka “Insurance News”, “Insurgence TV” is led by a John Sullivan of Sandy, Utah. The group’s Facebook page, currently down, links to “Black Lives Matter Salt Lake City. Community Organization. Salt Lake Equal Rights Movement. Community Organization. Black Lives Matter Utah Chapter,” according to Google’s description.

The shooting provides the justification for ramming through in the future.

“The crowd forced me to stop. I was surrounded by angry protestors beating on my car. I though I saw a gun pointed at me by a protestor. I was in fear of my life. So I hit the gas to escape.”

Just make sure you do it from a dead stop because the crowd is not letting you pass.

“those needing killing are in back instigating the riot”

That needs to be said.

So now your government will no longer protect the people?

Where the hell are the police?

Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi.
Provo Police Sgt. Nisha King.
Is there a factor here, that is not discussed enough?

I don't know for a fact, but my assumption would be either standing down because they were "just following orders", or going Galt.
