On the evening of Friday, January 20th, a comrade of ours was shot in the stomach in the most public place on the University of Washington’s campus in Seattle – a place called “Red Square” for the color of its bricks rather than its politics.
This Fellow Worker (what members of the IWW call ourselves) and Defender (for GDC members) is a longtime anti-fascist and dedicated activist, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and the General Defense Committee of the IWW. He’s currently in critical condition at Harborview Hospital in Seattle. They have a Level One Trauma center, so it’s likely he is receiving the best quality care available, for which we are deeply grateful.
Is the IWW an actual union, or just a group of left-wing agitators?
Good find! Translation: The guy shot was a professional commie agitator and in all likelihood, the shooter did indeed feel his life was in danger...........

The guy that got shot is on your video at the -:14 mark, right underneath the blue poster/sign and confronting the guy in the yellow hat. Prior to that he was walking and towering over Mr. yellow hat.
Below is the link to the professional photo of the guy that got shot. Shaved head, beard and shiny buttons on his lapel are evident in the video.
