Security Guard In Police Custody After Fatal Shooting Of Denver Protestor
Conservative demonstrators united in Denver, Colorado, Saturday, for what they referred to as a “Patriot Rally”. Opposing activists associated with the Denver Communists Facebook page held a “BLM-Antifa Soup Drive” to confront the conservative attendees.
The organization said in a post announcing the counter-protest, “The Proud Boys are backward losers who can’t organize! Join us to drown out their hate with 🌈 LOVE ❤️ for Black Lives ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿, with anti-fascist chants 🗣🗣🗣, and with soup 🥫🥫🥫 for our family!”
The Denver Post has stated that the fatal shooting victim was a member of the Patriot Rally who deployed something in the realm of pepper spray toward another individual, who then shot the conservative protestor.
Local television news station, 9News, claimed the shooter was a security guard they had hired for the protection of one of their employees.
The guard’s acts are currently being investigated by Denver Police as a homicide.
Shortly after the shooting, some conservatives propagated unfounded allegations online that a left-wing counter-protestor was responsible for the fatal encounter.
Investigations Chief, Joe Montoya, said of the unnamed parties involved, “We’re hopeful that that information will help kind of calm the waters a little bit.”
He continued, “We don’t want any erroneous information going out, any speculation, because that’s really what hurts us.”
Patriot Rally Organizer, John Tiegen, told a local news station before the event that he was “not calling for violence”, yet asserted that if he were to suffer any perceived attack, he would rebut the efforts with self-defense measures, “ten times fold”.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
