New Mexico Civil Guard Under Arrest In New Mexico
BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 5 months ago
David Codrea has some coverage on this. This is raw video of the goings-on, albeit shaky at times.
So as best as I can figure, a dude associated with the New Mexico Civil Guard tried to defend a monument along with his fellow members, and ended up retreating from rioters and eventually having to shoot an assailant.
The governor of New Mexico is livid.
One man was shot in Old Town as a protest over the “La Jornada” sculpture in front of the Albuquerque Museum erupted into violence Monday evening.
The shooting occurred during a clash following a peaceful protest to remove the controversial sculpture, a monument that features conquistador Juan de Oñate. The FBI is assisting in the investigation, according to an APD spokesman. U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, meanwhile, called on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the shooting.
The night began with peaceful protest and prayer but tensions began to escalate when protesters took a pickaxe to the statue and members of the heavily armed New Mexico Civil Guard, a civilian group, tried to protect the monument.
Before the night was over Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and other officials condemned the violence and those who instigated it.
“Although we are still learning more about the situation, I am horrified and disgusted beyond words by the reports of violence at a protest Monday night in Albuquerque,” Lujan Grisham said late Monday in a statement. “The heavily armed individuals who flaunted themselves at the protest, calling themselves a ‘civil guard,’ were there for one reason: To menace protesters, to present an unsanctioned show of unregulated force. To menace the people of New Mexico with weaponry — with an implicit threat of violence — is on its face unacceptable; that violence did indeed occur is unspeakable.”
Mayor Tim Keller reacted swiftly following the shooting, tweeting that the city would be “removing the statue until the appropriate civic institutions can determine next steps” in order to contain the public safety risk.
“The shooting tonight was a tragic, outrageous and unacceptable act of violence and it has no place in our city,” the mayor wrote in a statement. “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.”
It didn’t look peaceful to me. So the rioters got their way, the members of the militia were face down in the street and are currently under arrest (I presume), the state wanted to allow the destruction of public property under diversity, and refuses to support the only people who attempted to stop it.
This is humiliating for the militia.
I don’t have many comments, except: [a] don’t go into crowds, [b] don’t carry weapons if you don’t intend to use them, [c] if you intend to retreat, then retreat, don’t waste time, [d] know when your battle will be a losing battle. Without vastly superior projection of force to both the rioters and police, it was always going to end this way.
The rioters were … well, rioters. The police were there in greater numbers and were organized, and were there to protect the rioters anyway, not the militia or state property. The individual cops were there to protect their rank and pensions. By the way, take a look at the armored vehicle in the background.
If you cannot or do not intend to engage in force projection, then operate discretely. As it is, the militia has done damage to their cause, whatever that was.

The shooter wasn’t one of the militia members. He was leaving from the scene and the mob pursued and attacked him. Immediately after one of the mob screamed “We’re going to f*****g kill you”, another swung a skateboard at his head. At that point he pulled a gun and shot the thug with the skateboard.

Hitting a person in the head with a skateboard is attempted murder and said individual has every right to use deadly force to protect himself. Taking a pickaxe to a monument is not a “peaceful protest”. We are witnessing a complete failure of civility and no-one in power seems to care.

Ragman: Of course they care.
Much like here in Communesota, where everyone was promised safety and security while the Twin Shitties burned, Governor Lolz promised the Columbus statue would stand while LtGov Littlefeather applauded it’s toppling, and the gay jew soyboy limp-wrists his way to no police (grab your popcorn), it will continue to roll.
Thus is the nature of a color revolution.

That’s what I figured, he was there but wasn’t part of the main group of open carry folks, but they were guilty by association, like whitey is today

“no-one in power seems to care.” You are half right. No one in power cares. WASPs have been hung out to dry.
In Mich. the commies are tracking and identifying everyone opposing the lock-down/fake flu agenda. It is happening in every state. If you’re sitting there grinning like a mule eating briars, thinking “I have a reptile gov’ner,” you are part of the problem. Mitch the B—h has agreed that statues have to go, virtue signaling the left that cancel culture will not be opposed by the “stoopid”, and every “stoopid” gov’ner will jump on the civnat band wagon. Not suprised. When was the last time conservative Inc pushed back. Oh, yeah. Eisenhower rounded up all the Mexicans and sent them back. Been a loooong time.
TheAlaskan hit the nail on the head: DISAPPEAR. Go to ground. Let them take the culture down and as the chaos swallows up Western Civilization prepare your children to take it back. The slavs in the Balkans fought for a thousand years to regain their homeland from the muslims slavers. Its been going on ever since Adam was thrown out of the Garden.
Or you can do like the idiots in NM (and other places where you can’t fix stoopid) and give them an easy target. It’s up to the Christian palefaces now. Replace or be replaced.
Crying over spilt milk is for women and soyboys.
PS: June 17th. It’s still snowing in Utah. Global Warming. Another commie para-dime busted.

Marxist/Moslem america is communicating as clearly as they can that everything to the left of the Clintons has no rights whatsoever, and therefore deserves no quarter.
The full force of the guv’ment, and the street, that Marxist/Moslem america control is being brought to bear to once and for all eliminate Trad America and Real Americans
(Color of skin has nothing to do with that btw. The riots and looting and destruction have proven that beyond a shadow of doubt. This is ALL about destroying opposing ideologies not protection of rights).
It is beyond time for everybody to the right of the Clintons to grock that.
Seeing as though we have slid all the way down to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to its base and a thorough understanding of Trad America’s reality has become existential.

Funny how the cops couldn’t prevent rioting, looting, arson, and destruction of both public and private property in dozens of cities across the U.S., but they show up PDQ and arrest all the armed white men when one of them defends himself against a mob chasing him, striking him, and screaming “We’re gonna fucking kill you!”
BOTH the cops AND the communists are your enemy. White, taxpaying, gainfully employed men are the “low-hanging fruit.” Cops will arrest us in droves while the black and communist mobs are given a free hand to do whatever they please. The communist politicians who control the cops are on the side of the rioters… not YOU.

Thanks for the dope on long range .22 shooting. I cannot afford to by all the fancy gear in the link but do own a beautiful antique Win. 52 with a 16x Unertyl on it. Time for practice. I wonder what a can does to the data?

X, that’s because the Powers that Be are behind the rioting. They encourage and protect it. Militias and Neighborhood protection teams run counter to their narrative and are a threat, so are immediately branded as ‘Domestic Terrorists’. These groups also put the lie to the idea that these protests ‘can’t be stopped.’ A Militia maintaining order in an area would expose the local politicians as liars and complicit in the rioting. They are not about to let that happen.

My general rule of thumb for the days we are living in: we can rebuild monuments, hell we can rebuild cities. We built them once, we can do it again after people incapable of forming a functional society kill each other. We can’t do any of that from jail.

Thanks for posting. Looks like Charlottesville all over again; create a situation that can be used to discredit the Right.

Diverstiy + Proximity = War. Every. Single. Time.
The biggest Deep State psyop in history.
Amerikka is about to experience what Europeans have lived for thousands of years. Intercine, tribal warfare.
In 1960 America was the most peaceful nation on earth with a crime rate lower than Europe’s. Millions of people would go to sleep at night with doors and windows open, unlocked. Before AC urban denizens would sleep on the fire escape and on the roof to stay cool and wake up the next day alive, no bullet holes, no knife wounds. Today Amerikka is awash in blood. Diversity.
All the leftists you see are getting paid. If the money dried up the snowflake “protesters” would disappear, going back home to mommy. The rioters would cease and dissist after the last flat screen TV was scarfed up.
Just think about how stoopid it is listening to mobs rant about white priviledge and slavery while being paid by corporations that make their products with “slave labor,” and mussies who sell black Africans openly across North Africa and the Middle East.
When the money runs out and there is no food then the REAL riots begin.

There’s another video out there that clearly shows this was a justified shoot. The shooter was being pursued by at least 5 people, one swinging a skateboard at him screaming I’m going to kill you. The video is a get out of jail card. In fact I can’t even believe they are trying to bring charges. Our Law Enforcement needs to decide who’s side they are on. Anyway, said video is it this mess. I tried to link it directly else where, no luck.

As of 06/17/20 the militia were detained at police station Monday night, questioned and released . None were arrested .

There is additional, hi res video. The shoot-ee was using the skateboard to conceal deploying a knife; you can clearly see it as the shooter draws and shoots un the other angle footage. This has been more common the last 2 years or so, especially on the west coast – the various antifa groups (who used to be occupy, and ANSWER, and the iwp and wwp….) – they have been using a lot more knives, and structuring their movements and tactics to allow stabbing. Used to just be clubbing. Now they practice attempting to paralyze people.
The blue LEOs know exactly what is going on and are complicit. There is footage from Portland of cops in side alleys helping antifa goons rinse (righty) OC spray out of their eyes
There is nothing to gain from mixing at street level. Get more creative.

It is the unofficial policy of mob rule Amerikka to take a knee to thugs and rioters and arrest law abiding citizens. Anything less would be the rule of law.

It now looks like HIGH NOON in Amerika aka FUSA. It’s been over 60 years since I first saw this classic movie from 1952. Never thought it would play out on a grand scale like the present. For the most part, we’re all Marshal Will Kane at this moment in time. It’s now come down to either fight or flight. Just like in this great Western, don’t expect much help from your fellow FUSAians. As I recall, even his deputy turned yellow. Let’s just hope that was is about to transpire ends like the heroic climax and rebuking final scenes in HIGH NOON. If not, all I can say is we’re ultimately headed for extermination.

So I am supposed to trust and support the cops who allow destruction of private property using tools that are lethal weapons, but who will prone and arrest the nonviolent citizens?
I do believe when it comes to friend or foe the law enforcement folks there are on the wrong side.

MW, High Noon was an unAmerican movie pushed by Hollywood communists. Want to see what Americans did to gangs of bandits, look up the Northfield Minnesota Bank Robbery or the Coffeyville Kansas Bank Robbery. In both cases the gangs were shot to rags.
Was High Noon a well made movie, yes it was. But it had a political agenda.
On June 18, 2020 at 3:22 pm, MW said:
Chris Mallory: Thanks for the reply. However, I still can’t see how HIGH NOON was a political statement, much less pushed by Hollywood commies. Granted, the House Un-American Activities Committee was investigating Red influence in Tinsel Town at that time & yes there were Communists operating in all echelons of the movie & early TV industry. Carl Foreman, the film’s screenwriter was a member of the Communist Party & ironically it was Gary Cooper, of all people who came to his defense. The patriotic & politically conservative Cooper almost ended his career as a result. Yet, the movie shows no sympathy to Communism. For the most part, as Wikipedia states, “it’s a conflict between religious pacifism & civic duty.” Keep in mind, just two years earlier (1949) Cooper would star in one of the best known anti-Communist movies ever, Ayn Rand’s “THE FOUNTAINHEAD”.
Many thanks again for your comment. Best wishes & I hope you & your love ones survive in the coming years!

Re: High Noon, I think the idea was that government is the only one capable of dealing with bad guys. That people are basically defenseless, and need some government-issued badge to protect them.
I think Chris’ point is that within the last century, civilian posses worked, so could again if people were to shake off that defenseless attitude.

I’ve never seen the movie and don’t intend to. But I’ll remark that the use of the civilian posse has a rich history in America and it should be brought back.

“High Noon” definitely did not carry the message that government is the only one capable of dealing with bad guys. The departing sheriff (Gary Cooper) tries to raise a posse to deal with the bad guys but no-one will support him. The townspeople are all either ordinary cowards, or else virtue-signalling pacifists clinging to their luxury belief that they can enjoy peace and safety without anyone ever having to get hands dirty. Including the sheriff’s own wife; the famous ending has Cooper just this shy of leaving his wife behind too, as he tosses his badge in the dust and leaves town.
