EDIT: 3 people shot according to CJ TV on woke stream. One arm blown partially off, one shot in the head. Happened right next to a hospital.

Might be the same shooter. He shot someone in the head, ran off, people chased him, he fell on his face running down the street, and shot two people trying to get him. One in the chest, one in the arm.

    One of the videos shows the shooter being attacked after firing at folks, and injuring a couple of them from close range after falling to the ground. Dude gets right back up and walks up to multiple police vehicles including an APC. Police don't even apprehend the guy. What the fuck?

    Everyone needs to arm the fuck up now. Whatever the fuck you got. This shit is going to reach a boiling point

    I know it's an almost inevitable result of unrest and uprisings, but it's tragic to hear about comrades getting shot.

              I don't think that's enough to warrant vigilante murder lol

              If that's the guy, then carry on, but I'll definitely stand by the fact that we shouldn't be shooting people based on random internet posts, even if there's a layer of irony or fantasy to it.

      Never going to happen. They're catching more dead leftist bodies and there is no retaliation. Those guillotine memes will look lamer and lamer the more this happens. When will enough be enough???? Can we at least form self defense groups? They need to be afraid of us. REAL fear not that "muh cultural marxism" shit.

    Here’s a video of cops handing out water to the shooter and thanking them for the help before the shooting started:

    ARMED SELF-DEFENCE IS NECESSARY

    Rest in power.

    spoiler

    Autonomous orgs are going to be working as underground guerrilla structures for community self-defence and mass work. Until the vanguard takes direct control of anti-electoral action, agitation will be kept proportionate, and we will be able to make effective appeals for internationalism while minimizing excess violence during the revolutionary opener.

    Everyone is in a larger amount of danger after tonight and this will continue to escalate. You have to become even more serious. Nothing is safe. Your best defence is having comrades who will be able to speak up if you go missing.

    If you have not already joined an org, your group chat or running group or Discord friends can also function as an autonomous self-defence collective.

    Your collective doesn’t need to be political to start, it is better if it isn’t explicitly, but be open about your fears and emotions and experiences, they are ultimately coming for all of you, so you need sympathizers. Do this before American media manufactures consent for what’s next.

    Comrades should record videos of their experiences and share them widely. You are appealing for protection. You are terrified of white supremacist violence. You have done nothing wrong but now live in fear of real state terror and fascism. They are coming for all of us. Libs will play into this performatively but let them do it.

    This would be a very good trend to start on TikTok.

    Becoming very sympathetic characters right now reduces the amount of violence that will be directed to the masses and improves your odds of a successful revolution in the imperial core dramatically.

    I don't have anything of substance to add right now, but I live in northern WIsconsin and am just at a loss right now. Totally isolated from any other comrades, don't have a car, unemployed because of the pandemic - I'm basically helpless to even flee if any chuds around here get any bright ideas. I can only hope this doesn't become a regular thing.

      Exercise daily. I'm in the same spot, and have done for years, and the one thing we can do to prepare for the future, feel better in the present, and make ourselves more secure in any situation is: exercise. I have a disability that makes it hard to leave the house at times, and sometimes I cant afford enough calories or protein to do much... but we can always do something.

      At one point, police were treating the call as an "active shooter" incident and were looking for a suspect described as a white man wearing khaki shorts. Officers were said to be in a pursuit through yards and streets in the area.
      The man caught on video running from the used car lot had been wearing long pants.

      So the pigs were after the wrong guy, or were there two shooters?

        In the different clips in this thread, you can hear shooting coming from more than one shooter. But I can only find clips of the long pants guy.

        Edit: Specifically the Facebook link. I’ll see if I can find the right time stamp.

            I don’t think long pants guy fired anymore shots after he hit the dude that got on top of him. But at 9:10 you can hear more shots being fired.

            Shit is so fucked. I’m angry and just wish it wasn’t always our comrades being used as bullet sponges.

    Copied from Reddit

    From what I can tell this may be one sort of running incident across a few blocks. It looks like the confirmed injuries so far are one shot to the chest (there's video of him being carried off by a group to head to the hospital), one to the head (upper right forehead, the video with that one has the wound covered by someone trying to apply pressure, that case also headed to the hospital about 50 minutes ago according to eyewitnesses on the ground), and the guy with the arm wound here. There might be another hit in the stomach but that's not clear, and I'm moving that struck one about a chest wound to the 'maybe' column because that might have been the head wound spotted by a streamer who didn't get a good look.

    Adding some further details from comments below:

    Apparently the whole thing went down right next to The Daily Caller's onsite reporting team. This guy, Chief Video Director for the Daily Caller, is the one who took off his shirt to help the guy with the head wound.

    They're saying the guy with the head wound (hereafter called HW) rushed the guy with the rifle (hereafter called R) which caused him to trip. When HW got on top of R to attack him, R shot him at point blank range.

    Edit: further video from another member of the Daily Caller reporting team, it literally happened right next to them https://twitter.com/ShelbyTalcott/status/1298488221643558912 The reporting crew stuck around and heard the witness reports being given to the police as well (and it looks like a few other streamers did too and talked with witnesses as well), that appears to be how the shooting happened. What caused this guy to get the idea in his head that attacking someone with a rifle was a good idea is still an open question.

      Heroism, trying to stop further shootings. It may be "dumb" but it's similar to how the "15:17 to Paris"/2015 Thalys train attack was executed (though three people rushed the gunman there and one of them subdued him and the other wailed the shit outta them to knock them out).

      It's not the recommended course of action, obvously: But some people are thinking "if we stop him here, he can't hurt others."

        I saw a video where he seemed to be shooting at someone near the cars, and apparently missing, when the guy came up behind him and he shot him in the side of the head.
