Here are New Mexico’s jury instructions for self-defense. They’re also going to drag up ALL of militia-man’s text messages and Facebook posts. He’s cooked.pic.twitter.com/REQ6Ma22mO
Another video of the shooter (blue shirt) shoving another woman a couple minutes before be assaulted the last woman.pic.twitter.com/GQ3x6qZP5h
The clearest video yet of the shooter (blue shirt) violently throwing a young woman to the ground prior to the shooting. This is Simple Battery *at least*. Witnesses were within their rights to detain him.pic.twitter.com/WPtn6qxrly
This video ends 4 minutes before the shooting. Shows the crowd reacting to the soon-to-be shooter, keeping an eye on the him after he apparently brandished his gun. “Keep an eye on that guy” one says. As he re-enters the crowd, he’s told “Hey man, you should stay out of there.”pic.twitter.com/pGAv4w6wFN
NEW: A video of the shooter (blue shirt) Steven Baca assaulting another woman from behind, throwing her off the statue.pic.twitter.com/17Ah1AzHoL
This is the event that led to Steven Baca being ejected from the crowd the first time. Baca and several other militia members are seen shoving demonstrators. Baca grabs his gun. The crowd says "He's got a weapon!". "Threat or menacing conduct" is assault under New Mexico law.pic.twitter.com/6IHGVonySQ
In this video, you can hear demonstrators telling the militia members to stop shoving them. You see Baca grab his gun. Multiple people shout "He's got a weapon!" as they scatter in fear. Baca walks quickly out of the crowd, only to return minutes later to assault another woman.pic.twitter.com/CzqWt1gRZy
Steven Baca, the New Mexico shooter who assaulted several women before being confronted, is a fan of @BenShapiro.pic.twitter.com/NvIYgw4E3Q
Here is an in-order video timeline, from multiple angles showing Steven Baca assaulting and battering three separate women. All of these assaults against women occurred prior to Baca opening fire at bystanders who chased him down.pic.twitter.com/j7LABSAf9c
The shooting victim did NOT HAVE A KNIFE. The victim has READING GLASSES in one hand and a pen in the other. There's no reason to use a low-resolution grainy photo when the original video is high-resolution. Also, why pick up a skateboard if you're planning to shank someone?pic.twitter.com/VWJCvSHLU7
I've gone through both shooting videos frame-by-frame, multiple times.
I just found out that @EmanuelCoin did the same thing and (he used VLC to dump each frame, because he's smarter than me). But he came to the same conclusion. No knife.
Thread is here:https://twitter.com/EmanuelCoin/status/1273124907442941954?s=20 …
Remember from the video of Baca's earlier assaults, people know he's armed and dangerous. Here you can see Baca resisting arrest and drawing the gun from his waistband. A bystander shouts "He's going to kill you!". You see the shooting victim picking up a skateboard.pic.twitter.com/KiGzGksGsi
Here you see Baca with the gun in his hand. The guy who becomes the shooting victim is just to the left of this photo, out of frame. These people are making a HUGE mistake. If you see someone draw a gun like this, you either back the F*CK off and run for cover, or shoot to kill.pic.twitter.com/QcyxeX6bJt
This frame shows the shooting victim after swinging the skateboard at Baca's arm, maybe trying to dislodge the gun from his shooting hand. He fumbles the skateboard and starts to run away as Baca shoots him in the back. Police medic confirms that the victim was shot in the back.pic.twitter.com/DLsDmTHgBs
The shooter has a documented history of assault. In 2012, Steven Baca was arrested on multiple charges and given a general discharge from the Air National Guard for assault, fleeing the scene of an accident, insubordination, and failure to obey an order.https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/accused-protest-shooter-subject-of-2012-larry-barker-investigation/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral …
According to Baca's charging documents, an undercover @ABQPOLICE officer witnessed the shooting.
Questions:
1. Since ABQ officers were present, why didn't they stop a violent man armed with a handgun and mace from assaulting at least three women and ultimately shooting someone?
More questions:
2. Since ABQ officers were present, why didn't police respond to multiple phone calls from 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE SHOOTING reporting that heavily armed men were brandishing their weapons at and shoving demonstrators?
@NMStatePolice: Release the switchboard tapes.
More questions: 3. Since ABQ officers were present, and multiple calls were placed to them reporting armed men brandishing weapons and shoving them, why did ABQ refer to so-called militia as "armed friendlies"? 4. What prior contact have ABQ officers had with militia members?
More questions: 5. What happened with Steven Baca's 2012 arrest for assault and other charges? Was he prosecuted by military or civilian authorities for the assault? Was he convicted? 6. Given Baca's penchant for abusing *only* women, has anyone contacted his ex girlfriends?
Soon the general public will learn that Steven Baca is a violent, right-wing asshole with a previous assault arrest. They'll learn he was the GOP's alternate Delegate in NM's 1st Congressional District in 2016. When confronted, they'll claim he's a "false flag" or ANTIFA plant.pic.twitter.com/2l1iv16fgf
Let's dispel the "Steven Baca was an ANTIFA provocateur" narrative before it gets started. Baca is a right-wing douche who flopped out of the Air National Guard, who has spent the last several years as a failing Republican politician. His platform was "cops are wimps on crime".
Let’a clarify something about the shooting. Baca’s prosecution does NOT need to prove that people had a right to beat him up. The law doesn’t require one party to be right for the other party to be found guilty. Baca will most likely plea bargain rather than risk a trial.pic.twitter.com/9OA3ZI1x0M
The moral of this story is: when an armed, violent bully assaults and injures your friends, put him down. The guy has a gun. When you swing that skateboard, COMMIT to it. No half measures. Truck slap his teeth down the back of his neck before he escalates further.pic.twitter.com/n8U8n8kK2b
As @greg_doucette said, BOTH parties can be guilty independently.
Independent trials:
State v. Skateboard Guy
State v. Baca
Baca on video assaulting people seconds before the shooting. His lawyer won’t risk a trial.
Baca cops to 5 years, out in 3. Never owns a gun again.
As a concealed carry permit-holder for 25 years Baca did everything a CCW is *not* supposed to do. Came into a crowd to start a fight. Assaulted someone, was told to leave, RETURNED, assaulted two more. DA will pull up his tough-guy text messages too.pic.twitter.com/xVROThYie8
Yup. Listen to the actual criminal defense attorney 
I see all these MAGA idiots cumming in their pants about Baca getting to live out their ultimate fantasy of beating up women and playing cop.
But more videos already surfacing. And Baca’s posts are Mens Rea material.https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1273320088830173184 …
The “separate incidents” argument is legally unsound. The pursuit and the shooting occurred SECONDS after Baca’s 3rd assault. Not like they showed up at his home later that night. If you pistol-whip a cashier, then shoot the employees chasing you to beat your ass, guess what?
DA Torrez has reassigned the investigation from ABQ PD to @NMStatePolice, because of "serious concerns" about ABQ PD's initial response and "investigation".
“The reason he is not facing that charge right now is because this investigation is not complete.”https://www.reuters.com/article/us-new-mexico-protest-idUSKBN23P08W?taid=5eeae7dd87586b0001d20e69&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter …
Torrez dropped the shooting charge against Baca, but made it clear that he could be re-charged once a proper investigation was done. “We believe that this is fundamentally an incomplete police investigation,” Torrez said during the news conference.https://www.abqjournal.com/1467181/suspect-in-protest-shooting-faces-additional-charges.html …
After videos of Baca's violent behavior surfaced, prosecutors raised concerns that the initial charging documents did not mention his behavior. DA Torrez said that under state law, if you are the "first aggressor" you cannot raise a self-defense claim.https://www.abqjournal.com/1467181/suspect-in-protest-shooting-faces-additional-charges.html …
Prosecutors have filed a motion claiming that Baca "armed himself in advance, instigated a physical confrontation with several people, violently threw a defenseless woman to the ground, and ultimately discharged a firearm that he carried unlawfully multiple times at close range."pic.twitter.com/P8XnbjMs4B
