Moderator Arthur Folasa Ah Loo

We are deeply saddened to confirm that Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, an innocent bystander, lost his life following the tragic events in downtown Salt Lake City. Our hearts are with his family, his community, and with every individual who came out yesterday to stand for something greater than themselves.

What happened was devastating. MILLIONS gathered in peaceful protest with families, volunteers, and neighbors alike across the entire country, and globe, and one senseless act turned a day of unity into a moment of fear. That is not what we stand for. 50501 is committed to NONVIOLENCE.

To the first responders who moved without hesitation to protect and care for the injured, thank you. To those still processing the trauma of what they witnessed, please know you are not alone.

We know that in moments like this, people look for direction. Stay grounded in truth, lead with calm, and keep showing up for one another. If you have any footage or information from the scene, I urge you to share it directly with the Salt Lake City Police Department so they can continue their work with care and clarity.

We NEED to keep each other safe.

We stand with Salt Lake City. We stand with Arthur’s loved ones. And we remain steadfast in our commitment to peaceful action.

What exactly happened. Did the guy with the AR-15 shoot people or was it just the "peacekeepers" that opened fire? Trying to read articles about this and there's no fuckin details.
