Not the first time that there has been radicals upset about Oñate Statues in New Mexico, but this is certainly the most stupid episode so far.

I never heard of the "New Mexico Civil Guard" before, (although admittedly 'I don't get out much anymore' and most of the NM news I hear is via the NM ping list here). Wouldn't be surprised if it was some sort of false flag operation to give Governorlissima Lujan an excuse to crack down on 'patriots'.

The governor is a full blown leftist revolutionist and his vile bigoted speech about “diversity” sickens me.

Looked like self defense. No idea what caused him to draw his gun in the middle of a mob, or if that was justified, but at the end there were several people on him, and he didn’t have much choice. Attacking a man with a gun is never a good idea.

I hope the injured person is one of the attackers, and not a bystander.

Protests against Anglos, Columbus (Italian), now against Spanish historical figures. What’s next? French? Portuguese? Vikings?

Mayor Tim Keller sent the following statement after Monday's shooting: “The shooting tonight was a tragic, outrageous and unacceptable act of violence and it has no place in our city. 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.

The shooting was as clear an example of lawful self-defense as I have ever seen.

Again/still ignorant ‘journalists’ cannot distinguish between injured or wounded.

That's racist, tearing down statues of Barack 0bama's cousin, just because he's related to every former President of the United States!

The mob knows if it can be destructive, aggressive, and demanding enough, pathetic Dem politicians will give them their every desire. They’ll be allowed to destroy historical artifacts and attack people and businesses to their heart’s content and still be called “peaceful protestors.”

The left would love to provoke a reaction that is even 1/25 as violent and destructive as what their side has done, so they can have an excuse to really start to crack down on the populace hardcore and to keep them frightened of the lawlessness and too intimidated by both the government and Democrat-backed mobs to stand up for themselves.

Take a note folks, the leftist mobs are going crazy destroying history, something that usually only happens when a country is conquered by a foreign army or within from an insurrection designed to obliterate the current country.

So, New Mexican crazies are now against Hispanic historical figures? Who are these insane people? Is it only woke white liberals who count as New Mexican?

The tyranny of these protesters is like revolutionaries of past ages. Maybe their next step will to erect statues of their violent patron saints.

Here’s what I got. To Native Americans, Oñate is known for having ordered the right feet cut off of 24 captive tribal warriors following the murder of his nephew. The dispute came when Oñate’s men demanded food from the Acoma Pueblo. The Acoma needed the food for the coming winter and they fought Oñate’s men, killing his nephew. This dispute escalated and ended with 800-1000 Ácoma massacred in the siege of the pueblo, and the 500 survivors were put on trial and sentenced by Oñate. All men and women older than 12 were enslaved for 20 years. In addition, men older than 25 (24 individuals) had one foot amputated. This revenge earned him the hatred of him today.

Afterwards, he engaged in significant exploration expeditions which gained much valuable information about the region. After his last expedition, he was tried for his brutal treatment of the Ácoma; which banished him from the New Mexico territory. He returned to Spain where he was appointed the head of all mining inspectors in Spain.

"...there is no space for violence...no matter who strikes first."

The Governor is wrong and un-American. "Who strikes first" does matter.

They are free to destroy history. Try to stop them and you go to jail.

The author changed what happened- there was no “struggle” in the crowd with someone brandishing a weapon, there was instead someone getting clobbered by a guy with a skateboard as a weapon...

No mention the shooter was attacked with a skateboard, pursued, and brought down to the ground before he shot one of his attackers. There is video of the shooting. Watch for the green skateboard.
