Fewer attacks on "No Kings" than I feared

A 39-year-old man was shot on Saturday at a “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City, Utah, and later died from his injuries. Police have detained a 24-year-old suspect and two others connected to the shooting. The victim was not the shooter’s “intended target,” law enforcement officials said, stating that he was an “innocent bystander.” They added that there were no other reported disturbances at the city’s “No Kings” protests—described by its organizers as “a mass, nationwide protest rejecting authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy”—on Saturday. Meanwhile, police in Culpepper County, Virginia, arrested and charged a 21-year-old man with reckless driving on Saturday after he allegedly “intentionally” drove his SUV into a “No Kings” protest crowd, striking at least one person, though no injuries were reported.
