Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Idk if new information came to light I can't find, but that was a cop propagated rumor early on. I believe he was a known, legal carrier who provided security for previous protests. He was arrested for "brandishing" his legal rifle at a crowd after the chucklefucks already shot at him and he was running away.
At least afaik, if there's other evidence, sure. I'm skeptical though because the cops already lied about it twice.
when I first read that Gamboa was "preparing a mass shooting", it sounded plausible, since mass shootings are a regular occurrence in Amerikkka. Then I read about Gamboa's background, things started sounding fishy
Shit I didn't realize that, so this was literally just cops being cops
It's understandable - cops constantly spew misinfo to muddy the waters because it works!
