SHOTS FIRED: A militia member trying to defend America and a man getting beaten defending himself by firing his gun were arrested. Zero of the protesters pulling down the monument were arrested or charged. People are saying “blue lives matter and black lives matter deserve each other,” after this.

A man was shot Monday after gunfire erupted at a demonstration in New Mexico, where protesters attempted to topple a bronze conquistador's statue outside an Albuquerque museum. The man was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in critical but stable conditiond. The shooting occurred during a clash between protesters and the New Mexico Civil Guard, a heavily armed civilian group that attempted to protect the controversial sculpture — a monument that features Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate, according to the Albuquerque Journal. Protesters reportedly wrapped a chain around the statue and started tugging on it amid chants of “Tear it down.” At least one person swung a pickaxe at the statue of New Mexico’s 16th-century colonial governor. Gunshots could be heard down the street just moments later, with several people yelling, "Somebody got shot," according to the Journal. About five shots were fired by a single gunman after protesters started advancing on him.
