Nearly two years after opposing political rallies in Denver’s Civic Center ended with a man shot and killed by a security guard for 9News, a bystander to the shooting has filed a lawsuit for ongoing physical and emotional distress against the company and two contracted security firms.
The Denver Gazette is a content partner of 9News.
Matthew Dolloff shot Lee Keltner, 49, on Oct. 10, 2020, in a confrontation as rallies — which called themselves a “Patriot Muster” and “BLM-Antifa Soup Drive — ended in Civic Center. Steven Wright, a friend of Keltner, was pictured trying to break up a confrontation between him and another man shortly before the altercation with Dolloff.
Wright’s lawsuit filed Aug. 10 in Weld County says he has suffered from physical and emotional distress from witnessing the shooting including disturbed sleep and nightmares, intrusive memories of the incident, decreased appetite, diminished energy, anxiety in crowds, hypervigilance and signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. The complaint accuses 9News and security firms Pinkerton and Isborn Security Services of negligently and recklessly hiring Dolloff, who was not licensed to provide security services in Denver, nor to carry a gun while doing so. The latter requires authorization by the police chief.
Late in 2020 Isborn agreed to surrender its license to provide security services in Denver. The city permanently revoked Pinkerton’s license in 2021, but this summer a district court judge overturned the decision on a technicality.
Colorado does not have a state license for security guards.
...
The lawsuit also accuses 9News of negligently and recklessly failing to disclose to the public that Dolloff was working as a security guard. He wore civilian clothes, and the complaint says nothing outwardly identified Dolloff as a security services provider.
Denver prosecutors charged Dolloff with second-degree murder, but dropped the charge in March after prosecutors decided Dolloff likely had a legitimate self-defense claim to use deadly force. In the decision, District Attorney Beth McCann said Keltner threatened and assaulted Dolloff without provocation. Photos from the incident show Dolloff shooting him as Keltner sprays mace at Dolloff.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
fixed it.
These state and city Legal operatives are similar to the Security operatives of Solzhenitsyn's famous "And how we burned in the camps later..." quote.
They also need to sue the then elected “Leaders” of Denver on a personal basis.
Mathew Dolloff, the killer of Trump supporter Keltner was not alone. He acted with the agitator ***Jeremiah Elliot – a leader of the Antifa- BLM in Denver.
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. ( like the 1930s Brown shirts ) . .. He was involved in multiple previous assaults and was arrested several times by the Denver PD.

Soros Legal operatives gonna Operative:
The Chronicle is distributed in both Denver and Arapahoe counties. If you were alleged to have committed a crime it didn’t normally matter on which side of the county line it occurred, but today it can.
Denver District Attorney Beth McCann is a longtime Democratic politician and she approached her job as D.A. with her political sensitivities very much intact.
Soros scum.
More proof that democrat led government is the enemy.
Soros funded = Beth McCann - Denver’s top prosecutor is notorious for her refusal to prosecute the 9 News – Kyle Clark - Antifa - unlicensed - security guard who killed a Navy veteran Lee Keltner during a peaceful political rally..

Charges against Antifa? Dismissed.
Someone interferes with Antifa [as in the article I linked above]? Charges against that person.
Or if Antifa assaults or murders someone? Charges dismissed.
Beth McCann husband’s has issues with fire, including one that got out of control and forced an evacuation near Kremmling. He was never prosecuted. ..
George Soros funded - Beth blocked efforts by police to pursue prosecution of Denver School Board member Tay Anderson following the school board’s own investigation of harassment complaints.

Complete video streams of the incident show a very different story from the still photographs.
There was a third-party ANTIFA provocateur harassing Keltner immediately before Dolloff charged at Keltner with hand on his gun. Keltner reached for his pepper spray after Dolloff had already charged at him and drawn on him. Keltner never reached for a gun.
The whole thing looks like a pretext for Dolloff to shoot Keltner and make it look like "self-defense". It was no such thing.
It gets worse.
Dolloff was recorded on video conferring with the ANTIFA provocateur and both Channel 9 photographers less than two minutes before the incident. They were then positioned in perfect locations to get the entire sequence as "Heroic guard shoots MAGA protestor in self-defense".
My assessment is that this was a planned-for-television special that went a little bit off script. But no matter. The DA covered for ANTIFA.
Once again, the bad guys got away clean. "Justice" in this case will not be found in the courts.
Dollof should have been charged with 1st degree murder!!!
You can imagine Dolloff yukking it up with Soros’ Denver Legal operatives over drinks after the charges were dismissed...
Yeah, since Doltoff brandished a handgun, which I would call a provocation. Why didn't McCann let a jury hear the evidence and decide? Oh, because those were her people.
Channel 9 should be sued out of existence.
Ugh, some ugly typos there! Mod please feel free to remove!
“...physical and emotional distress, disturbed sleep and nightmares, intrusive memories of the incident, decreased appetite, diminished energy, anxiety in crowds, hypervigilance and signs of post-traumatic stress disorder.” Wow. That’s exactly the things I feel after talking to my anti-Trump and pro-Biden friends.
Lots of political comments on this thread, OK, thats fine.
Is no one concerned that a weak-kneed sissy is suing companies that have money for “distress” because he saw something?
I thought that was the reason for this post?
