This is the shocking moment a motorist shot dead two environmental demonstrators at near point blank range after becoming enraged over their road blockade in Panama.
Harrowing images captured the shooter, a frustrated elderly man, climbing out of his car to argue with the eco-protesters who had stopped traffic on the Pan-American Highway in the town of Chame.
He initially attempted to reason with the protesters, but moments later pulled a handgun from his pocket and began gesturing wildly as his frustration grew. Despite the imminent danger, the protesters stubbornly refused to curtail their demonstration and continued to argue back and forth with the disgruntled motorist, who became visibly more enraged with each passing moment.
For a time it looked as though the gunman was prepared to back down, but when one protester holding a flag stepped towards him, he snapped the pistol back up and fired at his target from mere feet away.
Terrified onlookers and other protesters helped move the victim to the side of the road and laid him down on the ground as the gunman calmly began dismantling a small barricade made of stones and tyres erected by the demonstrators.
Still undeterred, another protester wearing a black t-shirt and jeans tried to confront the gunman and was also shot. Footage shows how he recoiled from the shot, holding his upper chest in pain and with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He is shown hobbling away to the side of the road as other protesters run for cover, before slumping to the ground.
Police descended on the scene and promptly arrested the shooter, dragging him away in cuffs and bundling him into the back of a squad car.

Global Warming strikes again?
You try to take aways somebody’s right to free movement, you probably deserve what is coming your way.
Hey! The two ahos died doing what they loved to do. Blocking traffic. Greta has to be proud. She should give each one of them a Palestinian “Pride” flag to put next to their headstones.
Two less leftist assholes to worry about.
Don’t mess with people, and you don’t get dead.
They never think there are consequences to their very bad ideas.
Was the car hit?
Ha! You should see Mexico and Venezuela - the guy would probably pull a fully auto Kalashnikov and let fly, and the police wouldn’t arrest him because....well....you know.
Of course, the protesters in these countries are probably a bit more circumspect.
I’m Mad as Hell and I’m Not Going to Take It Anymore!
If a guy with a gun tells me to relocate, I’m probably going to listen to him, even if I’m unhappy about it. Just saying.
I think it falls under the “F### Around and Find Out” category.
Well, their carbon footprint has been reduced considerably, so they’ve got that going for them.
See that? The world is already better off!
JAMBOG!
