(Video features One PA activists during the 2020 election, not those involved in the shooting)
One PA is not just some small local group, it’s backed by the Soros Democracy Alliance and has benefited from sizable funding as part of a Democrat effort to keep Pennsylvania in the leftist column. Behind all the press releases though, One PA, like most Dem activist and political organization hires ‘foot soldiers’ to work the streets.
These ‘foot soldiers’ in major areas tend to be from the lowest of the low. That’s how things like this happen.
An argument between two Philadelphia political canvassers led to a deadly shooting late Monday afternoon, according to police.
Police told NBC10 a man, later identified as 46-year-old Eddie Brokenbough, was canvassing the neighborhood for a political campaign when he met with another campaign worker along the 2000 block of Church Lane around 4:11 p.m. The two men, who were both armed, then got into an argument which led to the other campaign worker pulling out a gun and shooting Brokenbough, police said.
Brokenbough was shot once in the left armpit. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 4:24 p.m.
Police said the campaign worker who shot Brokenbough had a valid permit to carry. That man was taken into custody and is cooperating with the investigation, according to police. No charges have been filed as police continue to investigate what led to the shooting and whether or not it was done in self-defense.
Maybe he can invoke ‘Stand Your Ground’.
Both men were working for One PA which sends lots of “thoughts and prayers”.
“Our hearts go out to our friends and partners at One PA, and all the canvassers who help make our democracy work. Love and solidarity at this terrible time,” PA Working Families also tweeted.
A spokesperson for One PA, a politically progressive nonprofit working “to make powerful changes that transform our communities,” said that Brokenbough worked for their organization.
Shocking that an organization of radical leftists supportive of police defunding would experience violence. One PA’s list of wins includes keeping police out of schools. Maybe the police should be inside One PA meetings to avoid further violence. It may also be a good idea to ban One PA’s canvassing by violent criminals.
… if it only saves one life.
The only thing sad about this story is that one of them is still alive.
What’s scary is that at least one of them reportedly had a license to carry firearms. WTF? It’s almost impossible to get certified here in CA, which is a very dangerous state. Normal people have to carry illegally and face severe penalties if discovered.
It’s quite easy to get a concealed carry license in Pennsylvania, and any law-abiding citizen can buy a firearm without any “permission” other than the Second Amendment. Pennsylvania is still in America, you see, though there is no guarantee that it will be so forever.
Well, that’s nice to know. The conceal carry part. The fact that it may end is disturbing.
Here in CA it’s close to impossible to get a conceal carry permit unless you’re a cop. Now, I agree that cops should get them but so should other citizens.
In Kentucky no license or permit is required. Only have to get them for outstate carry and then it is a “Shall Issue”
I should live there. No beaches but I don’t go in the ocean anymore anyway. Too many sharks and I’ve already pushed my luck too far.
Bet he is out, and for no bail.
Why not? He was only cleaning up the trash of the streets.
But yeah, a murder suicide would have been some good news for a change.
I looked it up some:
“One PA said its rules prohibit canvassers from carrying firearms on the job.”
“Brokenbough then brandished his gun, which he was not licensed to carry, and the younger man pulled out his legally registered firearm and shot Brokenbough once in the armpit.”
“Police said the 22-year-old, whom they did not identify, told them he acted in self-defense.”
“Brokenbough was prohibited from legally carrying a firearm because of an earlier conviction on charges of aggravated assault and illegal gun possession, after he shot a man in the arm for speaking to his girlfriend in 2012, according to court records.”
“He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 11 ½ to 23 months in prison, plus five years’ probation. His conviction prohibited him from possessing a gun.”
“One PA pays its outreach workers $20 an hour,”
Eddie Brokenbough was black. Not sure about the other guy.
“This town isn’t big enough for the both of us, pardner.”
It sounds like the younger guy was justified. I wasn’t there so I don’t know for sure.
Let me see if I’ve got this right….a police defunder takes the law into his own hands and kills another police defunder? Where was the social worker whom the defunders claim can defuse all such situations?
Nope liberals its not the NRA or The Tea Party its one of those Defund the police type of persons the M.S. Media are always trying to hide from us a Liberal
They were arguing over whether Bud Light tastes great or is less filling.
It tastes like tranny. And you don’t want to be filled by that shit.
>These ‘foot soldiers’ in major areas tend to be from the lowest of the low.
Wait–are you talking about Nazis and Bolsheviks or Philadelphians?
Made me realize these vote canvassers are a great scam for the Democrats. Collect the votes needed to maintain political control of the inner cities. Pay the lowlife scums of the inner cities in cash using donations from leftist billionaires. So the scums are indebted to the Democrats and don’t have to worry about finding a job. No worries about being prosecuted since they control the courts. I think BO was a community organizer = vote collector once.
Commies who shoot other Commies should get a $25 ticket for littering, unless they remove the body themselves.
