Anyone who believes in an organized, national group of the far left in the US has never spent any time with the far left.

It's funny for a reason.
LOL! Yes it is.

Meanwhile, back in St. Louis, a couple of rich white people storm out of their homes to threaten peaceful protesters walking by their home. The man is carrying an assault rifle and the woman is pointing her gun, with finger on trigger, directly at the people walking by.

"Unknown shooter just lit CHOP up with tons of gunfire - situation ongoing."

from the thread:

"what is clear is that people inside of chaz, their "security", opened fire on a vehicle at the barricades and killed one person and injured another. The bullet riddled vehicle filled with blood is still there with its lights on, two people inside were pulled out and brought to hospitals, one dead with GSW to head.

unconfirmed details so far: A stolen jeep drove around Chaz and opened fire and either hit nobody or wounded one or was shooting into the air. It was recognized by people at the border and attempted to enter the zone at the barricades and armed forces in chaz opened fire and killed the driver and wounded passenger.

Whether its even the same vehicle, or what happened earlier, and if it was actually stolen, or if it actually posed any threat when it was fired upon, are all unconfirmed. For all we know, chaz folks either just defended themselves from a terrorist attack, or they murdered a random innocent motorist."

Oof.

From the same thread above:

"Basically, it looks like guys were acting fool and doing doughnuts in the Cal Anderson park, then they got gunned down by Chaz LARPers. No one inside of the Jeep had any weapons on them."

That video on Reddit was posted to Youtube today but apparently this happened 9 days ago.

I think that’s a different one.

There’s a lot of confusion as to what happened last night, but it seems there was another shooting.

I haven't been able to find anything about a 3am shooting from last night. Nothing. The only shooting that came up on a google search was from the one linked above and it also happened at exactly 3am so I assumed both were referring to the same incident.

If there aren't any bullet holes anywhere I wonder if they could be fireworks. Its that time of year already, and we're hearing them already where i live.

This poster is claiming the two victims from this morning’s shooting were black:

From the comments:

“2 African-American kids were shot. SPD is reporting the one killed was a 16-year old, with a 14-year old in the hospital.“

I think the vehicle was stolen, too. That was from Twitter.

Police said the two teens were “presumably” the occupants of a white Jeep Cherokee SUV into which “several unidentified people” had fired shots.

“Detectives searched the Jeep for evidence, but it was clear the crime scene had been disturbed,” police said on their blotter.

Protesters in the area on Monday morning defended the occupation, saying it wasn’t the cause of the violence.

“The bloodshed you’re talking about has nothing to do with the movement,” said Antwan Bolar, 43, who was staying in a tent in the protest zone. “That’s people who would have been doing it in North Seattle or South Seattle anyways — it’s just concentrated here.”
