A bizarre investigative piece published by 9NEWS, the NBC affiliate that reportedly hired the unlicensed security guard who fatally shot a Trump supporter during a Denver "Patriot Rally," exposes the news station for contracting multiple unlicensed security guards..
An investigation self-run by the publication found that 30-year-old Matthew Dolloffwho is facing second-degree murder charges for the alleged killing of a conservative demonstrator during dueling Denver rallies on Saturdayis not the only non-credentialed security guard to accompany 9NEWS crews at riots during the past five months. In fact, Dolloff is one of five unlicensed security agents.
Under a taunting "Training Matters" heading, 9NEWS admitted that "those guards were not required to go through the extensive training Denver mandates all private security guards receive."
A license requires 16 hours of required training in addition to eight annual hours for renewal. To achieve armed status approved by the Denver Police Department, an applicant must be endorsed by written request.
You cant always go right to a firearm or lethal force, International Counterintelligence Services president Grant Linhart, one of the city-approved security trainers, told 9NEWS. Licensing and training requirements are important, so you know your operational boundariesotherwise you run amok.
...
Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin urged her 2.2 million followers to question the NBC affiliate's intentions and infrastructure.
...
"If you want straight answers from @9news about WHO contracted with left-wing Trump-hating #denvershooting suspect Matthew Dolloff, WHY station pointed finger at Pinkerton instead of taking responsibility & WHAT else they're hiding, share the hashtag: #9NewsDoesntWantYouToKnow," Malkin tweeted.
...
Then Malkin pointed out how 9News contracted outside journalists from sister stations in Dallas and Minneapolis to cover the latest on the Denver shooting. "LOL. Even @9News can't trust @9News anymore!"

What does an executive protector do? Why did he have a gun? They’re so full of crap! Next “play on words” coming up at 5 o’clock!
You are wrong, the training specifically states that you should not shoot people for nothing, especially in the head. If he’d had the training he’d have known that.
I was surprised that Marty Coniglio was such a hard core Antifa / BLM supporter and that -2- he outed himself so aggressively.
Denver Post photographer, Helen Richardson, is always right next to Jeremiah Elliott capturing the action.
Jeremiah Elliott is one of the leaders of the Denver area Antifa- BLM insurgents. This is the guy that was starting all of the fights. .. He was involved in multiple previous assaults and was arrested several times by the Denver PD.
By reaching for Lee Keltner's weapon, before being slapped away, the Security clown was, in fact "instigating" and NOT "protecting" his "client".
Keltner's deployment of mace/bear spray is NOT a sufficient provocation for use of deadly force!
Was that John Russell (Lawman) with the headshot????
The dead man’s wife has one hell of a lawsuit against that TV station. I be the lawyers are already lining up outside of her front door.
Right on! This “Get the Popcorn out” crap is nonsense.
“Keep your powder dry”.
I don't think the murder was planned. I think the news people wanted to get some pushing, shoving and a few body blows for the a TV report. The crews had been sticking to the agitator like glue.
The agitator got the victim worked up and then it went off the rails. The victim caught wind of the TV reporter filming him with his phone. The victim was going to confront the TV reporter and the fake security guard tried to intervene. My take is shooter got ticked off the victim slapped him, lost his composer and shot him.
Interesting how folks won’t out who really was involved. All the references to 9News, when the licesed ID of the station is KUSA.
And the license holder is
MULTIMEDIA HOLDINGS CORPORATION
Licensee Address:
TEGNA, INC.
8350 BROAD STREET, SUITE 2000
TYSONS, VA 22102
(703)873-6606 [phone]
Now this information is important, because a licensed station must operate in the public interest. And hiring hit men to murder folks of opposing political views certainly isn’t in the public interest.
And the current licese expires on April 1, 2022.
Action plan:
Start bombarding the FCC with complaints and demands that the licence be reviewed for termination, and certainly not be renewed.
At the very least, this will hit them in the pocket book as $1000 an hour lawyers mobilize to defend this cash cow for Multimedia/Tegna. (Looks like in the past they have used the Washington law firm of Covington & Burling LLC)
A list of their other properties can be found here:

I wonder if the meda's stylebook says the following: Qualifying (to excuse) words must always be used for those on the left. None required for those on the right.
The alleged journalist who wrote that knew exactly what she was doing and why.
The Left is very highly organized and we ignore "coincidences" at our peril.
The irony is Channel 9’s existence will probably be saved by the liability caps enacted as part of tort reform back in the days when the legislature was Republican. The family will still get a very substantial award that probably is uninsured, but their sorry station will probably still exist.
This case isn’t Portland. In that case, the victim was ambushed.
In Denver, the shooter was charged with second degree murder. To get a conviction for 1st degree murder in Colorado they have to prove it is premeditated. Unless they round up more evidence, the 2nd degree charge seems like the appropriate charge.
Colorado’s tort cap is only for punitive damages, but actual can be anything.
Also, this can be a federal suit which has no caps.
Also, they can go after individuals in this case. Those on air personalities get paid mid 6 figures.
I’ll repeat this again, (in another FR blog)
The unlicensed “guard” strapped his gun to his body and went to the “protest” not thinking of the safety of the participants but looking for an opportunity to kill someone.
This was a cold blooded murder and should be charged as First Degree Murder. The DA has chickened out in regard to the charge.
Glad that we left Colorado 27 years ago. Californication had begun prior to then.
According to my totally unreliable sources, all the trained personal security guards have been hired out, and all that’s left is fat, unqualified, temp agency mall cops.
And 9NEWS hired one. This is gonna hurt 9NEWS really hard.
