A lawyer for a security guard accused of fatally shooting a man after opposing protests in Denver says his client acted in self-defense.

An armed security guard for a television station who is suspected of fatally shooting a man after dueling protests in Denver was acting in self-defense when he opened fire, the guard’s lawyer said Monday., which occurred as people filed out of Civic Center Park following opposing demonstrations — a “Patriot Muster” and a “BLM-Antifa Soup Drive” counter-protest.

Doug Richards, who said he is representing Dolloff’s family, said the man who was shot had reached into his shirt, which made Dolloff fear for his safety, leading him to fire his gun. He said images of the scene captured by the Denver Post show that Dolloff had put his body between the man and a reporter from KUSA-TV whom Dolloff was working to protect.

Jail all rioters.

Wait, I’m confused as HELL! Isn’t that what the civil leaders/politicians want due to public outrage regarding POLICE shootings? Public wanted - social workers, community security, security in general, etc? And now a security officer due to ‘self defense’ is in jail?

Ok

Know those movies in which messaging fills the air as you slog thro' a dark world of hightened anger. fear, then capitulation? You are convinced of danger everywhere, the nanny state is here. You destroy your own peace with disatisfaction that was put there - it's in the air.

What else would he say? He's the guys lawyer.. The truth is, he was angry and had a gun. Thats what happens when angry people have guns.

Don’t pepper spray people

By all accounts, the shooter was not a 'security guard.' A security guard has had training and has a license. The shooter, in this case, appears to have been just another pot-smoking antifa punk with a pistol.

So this is self defense, but Kyle Rittenhouse wasn’t?

Because that's what defense lawyers do. It's also why people generally don't have high regard for many lawyers...until they need one.

Antifa shot a Trump supporter

Yeah whatever

Not a security guard. Hired to do security work. No security credentials or licensing.

Good luck with that defense. 🙄

Hahaha

Pepper spray vs a gun? What's wrong with this defense?

It's been proven that he was not a security guard. Why repeat the lie?

Yes, two wrongs do not . . .

He wasn’t a security guard. FakeNews

Law enforcement is filled with good people, but so many of them have turned into sadistic balls of cotton-candy. Its sad and dangerous.

Lmfao he’s going to PRISON

BustyMuse Bullshit. He took aim and shot at his head, that's not defence, that's deliberate homicide. Defence would have been to shoot the guy in the leg and incapacitate him.

You mean the guy who lied about being an employed security guard and sought out a confrontation with someone leaving the area? That guy is claiming self defense?

The little baby crossed the line and got spanked.

What some BS! He was an antifa looking to shoot someone. Plain and simple

mace isn’t life threatening

Going around shoving others with your swollen liver beer gut, demanding they need to leave, intimidating with bear mace in hand at the ready, then slapping the crap out of another stranger is one way to fuck around and find out🤷🏼‍♀️

KyleRittenhouse

This picture tells the ENTIRE story. The guy got pissed off & executed a protester without warning. He was there to protect a news crew but instead chose to mix it up with this guy, lost his temper and took a life rather than let his pride, ego or ideology remain disrespected.

Pictures show a different story.

Yeah. Glock vs Pepper Spray, which police douse protesters with from 2 liter bottles of the stuff! Real life threatening situation there, murder guy.

That’s a total lie. But you folks will promote it as truth. Your support off far left anarchists

Looks plain and simple like murder , that picture shows the point at which the shell is being ejected. The victim wasn’t reaching for anything, this guy killed the bloke in cold blood cause he sprayed him with non lethal pepper spray.

Cops are scared vigilantes. They have outlived their integrity and therefore their usefulness.

Let's watch the headline👀 wording... Please mute or muffle Quotes or paraphrases thereof of stoopit 💨🔫 Armed civil servants, ok ‼️ bc the ppl don't need to coffee/croissant 🥐 to your journal's uber violent soundbytes b4 even vetted thanks LAtimes

Agreed.

Fake news. The guy was revealed not to be a security guard and it was not self defense.

Good luck with that.

That’s obvious bullshit.

There is no universe in which this was self-defense.

Funny, he isn't registered as a security guard in the state of Colorado. Can the LA Times show proof he is a security guard?

but it's false

Of course they would.

Wrong. The guy was backing away at the time of him shooting. It was more retaliation than it was defense.

BustyMuse uh, no! you can't claim self defense when you escalate things though repugnant, pepper spray is less than non-lethal. A gun is... well, you know.

The guard was assaulted twice before he stopped a 3rd assault.

It’s the propaganda team just in the knick of time 👍

At least we are getting closer to the truth. The dude lacked the proper training, didn’t de escalate and reacted badly. Textbook reason why many institutions haven’t wanted armed guards. It helps those of us who have advocated for such to rethink our position re armed security.

Wrong. It was a hit. Security guard was a hired hit.

You poor thing. We'll get you a semi automatic next time okay?

Liar.

A life accomplishment is what everyone deserves and with Markdonaldlis woman with her words you can achieve that with the help of her.

😭😭😭😭

nice
