appears to be a self-described anti-government radical who publicly supported Antifa, rejected the US electoral system, and once said justice should be taken -“by any means necessary," a Facebook page- with the same name from Utah reveals.
Side bit: I highlighted BAMN, By Any Means Necessary, because it's both lib slogan & lib group. Wiki sez
The Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary, commonly shortened to By Any Means Necessary, is a militant, American far-left group that participates in protests and litigation to achieve its aims. It is a front organization for the Revolutionary Workers League.
....so, commies.
But what did Arturo Gamboa do?
At "No Kings" rally June 14 he showed so much aggression, that No Kings rally "peacekeeper" (not police) felt need to fire 3 shots.
Gamboa was wounded.
Bystander, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, was killed. (No Kings participant too?? yet another lib?)
Witnesses say Gamboa appeared at the protest wearing a gas mask and carrying an AR-15-style rifle in a backpack. He allegedly emerged from behind a wall and began running toward the crowd with the rifle raised.
A designated “peacekeeper” at the event, wearing a high-visibility vest, opened fire with a handgun—striking Gamboa and inadvertently hitting Ah Loo. The victim was rushed to the hospital, where he died from his injuries. Gamboa sustained a minor wound, was treated, and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on murder charges.
"No Kings" "Peacekeeper" was actual killer. But...
The peacekeeper who fired the shots is cooperating with authorities.
Police have not said whether Gamboa intended to open fire, but note his actions incited the chain of events that ended in tragedy.
Gamboa reshared a pro-Antifa message that read: “Antifa means anti-fascist. If you are anti-antifa then you are pro-fascist... If you support Trump, you support a fascist. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.”
Playing as a drummer in the leftist punk band Rade, Gamboa grew up LDS in Utah with a Venezuelan immigrant father.
Gamboa was an active supporter of Black Lives Matter during the 2020 riots, according to posts from the account
