The Murder of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo
By Bob Small
For some unknown reason, the murder of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo at the Salt Lake City segment of the “No Kings” rally has been “media silent”.
Mr Loo was a well-known fashion designer, was on “Project Runway” and co-founder of Creative Pacific Foundation. He leaves behind a wife, Laura, and two children.
My knowledge of this came from “an interested observer of political events” in the The Utah Vanguard The gist of this article is that the 50501 organizers, who parachuted into Salt Lake City, refused the input of the experienced organizers “on the ground”. It did not work out well.
The 50501 Organizers were warned ahead of time that “ it was a bad idea to have these ‘peacekeepers’ to be a part of what they were … attempting to do, and that it could lead to something tragic like this — and sadly it did.”
They were using ex-military, most of whom have vast weaponry experience rather than, say, Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT)
My years as a Quaker meeting attendee and member gave me great respect for their capabilities.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox said the group “were warned months and months and months ago that it was a bad idea to have these ‘peacekeepers’ to be a part of what they were … attempting to do, and that it could lead to something tragic like this — and sadly it did.”
According to this article, one of the event’s security team fired three shots from a handgun, one of which killed Mr. Loo.
Originally, according to the Salt Lake City Police an Arthur Gamboa was arrested but, since he never fired his gun, he was released. Since then, nothing much has happened that is web listed.
The national group has done everything possible to disassociate themselves from this violence. They’ve been aided by
the minimal coverage the murder of Mr. Loo has received.
Now just imagine if this had happened at a MAGA rally!
Thanks for bringing these stories to us. We can’t let them dust these things under the rug.
