Provo police have confirmed that one person was shot during a protest Monday night near the police department.

The victim, a 60-year-old Provo resident, remained hospitalized Tuesday but was “stable,” according to police. The man was not part of the protest or counter-protest that had been going on, but was just driving in the area, said Provo Police Sgt. Nisha King.

Keep your weapon readily available while driving. You are now in Mogadishu

You are now in Mogadishu

Thanks to "peaceful protesters".

Antifa getting training with guns or just recruiting new anarchists? Provo police need to put out a manhunt on this man, arrest him and lock him up for a long time. No Probation!

Thanks to Communisty Agitators

Best advice is to not go anywhere near these protests.

That’s different. Usually it’s the SUV that’s the aggressor.

I thought they believed in lawn order in those parts..

Whether the shooting was somehow prompted by the man driving through the crowd or whether the man started driving through the crowd after he was shot are questions are questions police were investigating Tuesday.

Because it's perfectly acceptable for hostiles to surround your vehicle and hold you hostage.

The bullet was a high-speed messenger of peace from the party of tolerance.

Strangely worded headline...
It seems to blame the person who was shot.

It should read: “Antifa terrorist shots unarmed American”

I’m getting old “shots -> shoots”

[TnTnTn]

Yep Mogadishu for sure....heavily masked and disguised I see....probably a sociology professor or such....

Where they wrote protest, I read riot.

Mormons will stand with Black Lives Matter to prove they aren’t racist anymore. Ask Mitt Romney, the Utah Senator.

Leftists on Twitter are claiming the shooters were “standing their ground” and “have a right to kill the driver” since he “attacked them with a deadly weapon.”

[SunkenCiv]

Can't wait to read what Mittwit has to say about this. /s

[SteveH]

not if the police reaction is to “round up the usual suspects”

:(

I’m saddened to see that in Utah, there are people protesting for #BLM, rather than against the BLM... Bureau of Land Management.

Notice that most of the “BLM protesters” (probably including the shooter) are white.
