"Peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people - killing one. [Edited the title for clarity.] (subium.com)

still definitely reckless behavior to bring a rifle to a protest, especially while dressed in what appears to be an all-black hoodie. Like c'mon man do you not think that looks extremely sus? Also doesn't fit the vibe of the protest. Also there has been propaganda recently about people targeting the protests (after those politicians were murdered). Gotta be some weird gun nut kinda fetish or something. The vest person was clearly trigger-happy though. Did they even say anything to the guy or just decided to start blasting?
