When President Trump calls the liberal media “fake news” and the “enemy of the people” they cry that he’s putting journalist’s lives in danger and is going to get somebody killed. That has never happened but a so-called security guard hired by a news team murdered a Trump supporter in Denver. It seems like Trump’s tag of “enemy of the people” was spot on and once again the fake news was wrong.
Fox News reports:
The private security guard who has been jailed on suspicion of first-degree murder stemming from a deadly shooting on Saturday in Denver during dueling protests was reportedly not properly licensed to work in the position.
Matthew Robert Dolloff, 30, was reportedly working as a contracted security guard for 9News at the time of the shooting. The local news station reported late Sunday that he was hired through another company to accompany its news staff to the protests.
A man participating in what was billed a “Patriot Rally” slapped and sprayed Mace at a man who appeared to be Dolloff, the Denver Post reported, based on its photographs from the scene. The man identified by the newspaper as Dolloff drew a gun from his waistband and shot the other person, according to the Denver Post journalist who witnessed the episode.
The man who was shot dead was identified by family members as Lee Keltner, a military veteran, grandfather and avowed patriot who was there to express his support for the police.
“My son Lee was at the patriot rally today in Denver. After the rally a person on the BLM and Antifa side went up to him said a few nasty words then shot him in the head. He was murdered because he backed the police,” said Keltner’s mother in a statement.
As was mentioned, the “security guard” hired by 9News was not actually licensed to be a security guard, as reported by the same people who hired him:
Records show the man being held for investigation in the deadly shooting near dueling demonstrators in Denver on Saturday was working as a security guard but was not properly licensed, 9Wants to Know has learned.
Matthew Dolloff, 30, was contracted through the company Pinkerton by 9NEWS. It has been the practice of 9NEWS for a number of months to contract private security to accompany staff at protests.
Pinkerton, however, said it does not actually employ Dolloff – Pinkerton did not share the name of the company for which Dolloff worked.
According to Eric Escudero, marketing and communications manager for the city’s Department of Excise and Licenses, “there is no record” that Dolloff had a license required by the city to work as a security guard – and no evidence he’d had one in the past.
9News hired an unlicensed security guard who ended up murdering a Trump supporter but made everything right with this sorry statement:
“9NEWS is deeply saddened by this loss of life. We have and will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement,” said 9NEWS General Manager Mark Cornetta.
The good news here is that this was the news killing a pro-cop Trump supporter and not police shooting an armed black criminal in self-defense. If the latter had happened the news and outrage would have been much bigger.
In actually non-sarcastic good news, unlike when a Black Lives Matter thug murders an innocent person, Keltner’s family has someone with deep pockets to sue.
The next time these clowns cry that Trump is endangering their lives, remember that the liberal media is now hiring death squads to eliminate the “deplorables.” It’s weird how everything is the opposite of what they say.
