A man was shot Monday after gunfire erupted at a demonstration in New Mexico, where protesters attempted to topple a bronze conquistadors statue outside an Albuquerque museum, authorities said.
The man was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in critical but stable condition, police said.
The shooting tonight was a tragic, outrageous and unacceptable act of violence and it has no place in our city, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said in a statement.
A group of armed men, who call themselves the New Mexico Civil Guard, were trying to stop the statue being taken down when gunshots were heard and people started shouting that someone had been shot.
Police then used tear gas and stun grenades to protect officers who rushed into the group and detained those involved in the shooting, Mr Gallegos said.
He said their weapons were removed and they were taken into custody for questioning, while police secured the area.
Of course, the mainstream media decide not to air the video and blamed the armed person.
But the video we have for you will show a totally different picture where the armed person was shooting but in self-defense.
The mainstream media are using a shortened version to push gun control propaganda. Video below:

I slowed it down to where he draws his weapon from his waistband. Photo below:
They attacked him because they thought he was a cop. Then they said they were going to kill him. Before this, he was just standing in the crowd minding his own business.
Moral of the story: dont take a skateboard to a gunfight and dont trust the mainstream media!
Remember the MSM is on the side of thugs..
They used a shortened version for Rodney King too. That’s why everyone was shocked when the officers were found not guilty. The jury was more informed.
The court of public opinion is a kangaroo court.
The videos are out there. They can cry all they want. The shooter acted in self defense to protect himself from a violent mob who were clearly attacking and trying to kill him.
this was the story according to AP:
The shooting tonight was a tragic, outrageous and unacceptable act of violence and it has no place in our city, Mayor Tim Keller said in a statement. Our diverse community will not be deterred by acts meant to divide or silence us. Our hearts go out the victim, his family and witnesses whose lives were needlessly threatened tonight. This sculpture has now become an urgent matter of public safety.
Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued a statement directed at the armed people, saying they were there to menace protesters. She said there is no room in New Mexico for any sort of escalation of what she called reckless, violent rhetoric.
The instigators this evening will be rooted out, they will be investigated, and they will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, she said.
The police will stand down and allow the communists to loot, burn and tear down statues.
If you interfere to protect private property, the police will arrest you.
Time to change tactics, folks. Snipe these bastards from a distance right off the statue. The police will not catch you.
Clearly a self defense shooting as he was being attacked by protesters.
Yeah, but unless you allow them to do whatever they want, you are evil.
Go ask King Raz of CHAZ for an AR15 from the back of his Tesla.
Then it will be okay with CNN and the rest.
“...A man was shot Monday after gunfire erupted...” Journalistic excellence?
Yep....
Did they go after the good guys and let the thugs off, again?
I watch the full video and the man was entirely justified to shoot this punk in self defense.
Fewer but better leftists
There’s other video that shows the beginning of the altercation. He is trying to get closer to the front, and some person starts pushing him away. He tries to go around, and the person puts an elbow to his face. He grabs the person’s arm and throws them down.
Then people start screaming at him, so he leaves. That’s when we see the next video, he is walking away, and a guy shouts “I’ll kill you” and runs up and tackles him and beats him with the skateboard, at which point he shoots the guy beating him.
the left are quickly finding out that the ones they are beating the hell out of sometimes fight back in self defense- like that fella did-
The crowd was screaming ‘Kill Him- kill that (swear word)’ and the mob tried to oblige because they were filled with bloodlust- Had they taken that fella down- he would not be live today in all likelihood- The racists on the left were out for blood- they were screaming for blood- but they found out that not every American is gonna just roll over and die to satisfy the left’s bloodlust—

Should not MSM now be prosecuted for Aiding and Abetting a Terrorist Organization ??
Generating/Distribting Propaganda for a Terrorist Organization/Cause IS A CRIME in the US ...
Citizens should start calling their Advertisers and demanding they stop affiliating with a Company that is committing a criminal act.

“Moral of the story: dont take a skateboard ...”
I guess getting smacked with a skateboard as well as assaulted by several others is just fine and dandy with herr mayor.
Strike while the iron is hot.
