- RETIRED US lawyer Kenneth Darlington has been named as the gunman accused of killing two protesters in Panama.
Shocking photos show a grey-haired pensioner calmly getting out of his car before gunning down the anti-mining demonstrators in broad daylight on Tuesday.
Cops arrested the shooter by the road and he was later seen seated with one hand cuffed to a pipe under police supervision.
Darlington, 77, was named as the shooter as he appeared in court on Wednesday.
The lawyer and professor, who holds dual citizenship in the US and Panama, was arrested for murder and illegal possession of a gun, TVN Noticias reported.

We live in a wild world when people think a man that pulls a gun wont shoot.
the feeling of maximum security, in the midle of the most fire hell.... people are domesticated by techonolgies and dont realize about the danger around them
We live in a world where people think they can just pull a gun and shoot.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the victims might have had a chance to survive, but the ambulance was unable to reach them in time because of the blockade?
Don't be ignorant, and assume things just to make fun of the victims. All emergency vehicles can pass. How do you think that the police were there so fast he couldn't get away but the victims died almost instantly. One had the spinal cord severed, and the other was shot in the heart, so nothing could be done. Don't assume. Do some research instead of mocking a tragedy in which 2 school teachers were murdered 2:48

Ironic is one word, hilarious is another.
This was always going to happen the police need to arrest these protesters not the motorists.
Why? Who did they shoot?
@@Gambit771probably people have died due to emergency vehicles getting caught up in this idiotic behaviour

@@Gambit771 You saw someone getting shot on this video? Really? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When a gun comes out it means run. You don't taunt a man with a weapon. If they had any sense they would have moved their barrier
But they did not. They believed they could just block the road and celebrate, and nothing will ever happen to them.
What I'd like to know, is do protesters have jobs, and how do they get money? I'm willing to bet if they had their assistance cut off, and made to spend a winter in a place like North Dakota in an uninsulated, unheated shack, they'd sing a different tune!
@@KurtKnispel3200You think being shot is a justified response to blocking traffic for a while?
@Gambit771 all it takes is for a few to think so. But by then it is too late. FAFO

The lawlessness of the protestors who believe they have the right to take away other peoples freedoms, restrict movement! Justifying their stupid uninformed opinions on others!
Just like covid, people don't understand the consequences, after the "shot", blood pressure, blood clots, ect problems on the rise!
It is the Panama. What government
The road blockade was one of a number of protests across the country after a mining contract was given to the subsidiary of a Canadian company that would allow it to restart a copper mine in the middle of the rainforest, CNN reported. Environmentalists say the mine could contaminate drinking water and devastate the land.
Still drive by wef
Staged propaganda
I blame the authorities for letting this continue to happen. They shouldn't be allowed to protest by blocking traffic. This is not the last case, it's just the beginning.
Is your whole mind that simple? 😂 Dude, this man was a psychopath and a previously convicted criminal. Do you really get THAT low, to protect such a person, just cause you don't like the protesters? Do you lose all your pride as a human being over a psycho?
You don't get it do you? Psychopath or not, when frustrations run as high as they do when these moron protestors disrupt people from going from point A to point B, violence is going to happen.@@drippycorpz6828

You really should find out what's going on in Panama before commenting. You know the cops are protesting as well, right? You do know what the protests are about, right? You do know they are no 'eco protesters' but instead, the media labels them like that so you won't bother to notice they are fighting for their country, not 'the environment'.
When police cease enforcing the law then citizens are forced to do so.

Idiots outnumber the smart people because the idiots get paid to breed.
Bang on 🎯
The world is going mad. People think they can do whatever they want no matter what law they break but the authorities do nothing. Its like living in a giant kindergarten.
Yes, and the children rather than the adults are running this Earthly kindergarten. Luckily the adults are coming back...
Exactly, they feel so entitled to block a street.
If you hold people against their will there is a chance it will end very badly for you. They knew the risk.
No, you're teaching them to be armed next time.
@@ouknow1446 that would change the nature of their protest...
@@lilpenguin092 Indeed it would.
@@lilpenguin092 Some might liken it to a rev or evolution.
@@ouknow1446 no, its called an escalation, but honestly there are way more armed citizens than armed protesters, so it will probably be very short lived.
As usual, police were already nearby to arrest anyone who wanted to deal with the illegal protest.

You really think Panama Police sympathize a murderer? You are delusional...
Panama is not like USA. If you cooperate with the cops, you don't get cuffed. Even if you are a murderer. He will still rot in prison for ever.
Most police and people in Panama support the protests. If you bothered to research why Panamanians are protesting, you might notice a lot of egg on your face.
Have these eco people never heard of Road Rage? People have been shot for far less.
This is not a road rage. This is the result of being pushed around too far. It bounds to happen sooner or later. No surprise at all. The authority fails to suppress these crazy eco-unfriendly nuts.
Agreed, here they shot someone for honking, yeah, for honking 🤦

@@ElRodriPR Panamanians shot somebody for honking? When was this?
Why would you try to argue with somebody with a gun?
Seems these people don't think like that. The fact that they use their bodies to block dangerous and aggressive traffic is very telling.

These protesters think they have the right to do whatever they want and nobody is going to stop them. Surprise

Stupidity
Where The Hell The Cop’s To Arrest The Obstructive Protesters For Putting Tree’s & Big Dangerous Rocks On The Highway
A Dam Failure Of The State Authority’s
Is that the title of your new book?
I don’t think anyone is surprised by this. We all knew it was coming. It’s horrible that there’s loss of human life, but what do you expect to happen when you block roads, and cause problems for so many regular people just trying to live? What good can possibly come out of that??
In the old days, the action of the eco-orcs would be classified as highway robbery which the authorities from way back would term those people as highway criminals who are subject to arrest or killed on sight if they resist. Nowadays, these types are revered and treated as untouchables, and if you take affirmative action then it's you that get arrested. What a world we live in today 😢
Not a stretch to believe that the organizers of these protests knew full well it was going to happen. Martyrs make good press.
Of course far from the fray, and unlikely to suffer any injury.
Do you suppose this might cause them to rethink the whole idea? Unlikely.
Yea but theyre still to wussy to try to pull this crap in places like chicago. Hmmm I wonder why 🤔 maybe because they know theyll be signing their own death warrant and know that cops wont do anything about it
"Human" 😂
@@keaganthegreat I call them eco-orcs
I don't find it to be the least bit desturbing.

So it's justified?

@@trevorhart545What self-defence?
He could've walked away, he could've argued with them without the gun and he would've been fine.
You gun nuts are disgusting.
They had backed away from him so just what danger was he in from an old woman?
Do you have another angle that shows they were rushing him to kill him because unless you have that, he instigated that encounter and like a typical murican gun nut didn't know how to control himself and started shooting like a coward.
@@ernestoechevers4741 YES!

These stupid people pushed the wrong guy. At 77 he probably figured he did not have much to lose. Sad that he was put in that situation.
"At 77 he probably figured he did not have much to lose" His anus in jail says otherwise.
He clearly thought that not being able to leave jail for life was better than having to wait a few hours on a road. Not a genius move
@user02573 he won't get jail time his 77 according to Panama law his gonna get home confinement for life more than likely. He also duel citizenship since has born in the canal zone. So he gets off pretty easy
@@pretzelboi64you sure about "for a few hours"?
His cellmate is gonna make this guy his girlfriend
This will happen a lot more as these people block roadways.
This is called SOCIAL JUSTICE.
A Clint Eastwood moment! When you push people too far it is just a matter of time!
Wasn't that a Michael Douglas movie where the final straw was him getting stuck in the pseudoenvironmentalists traffic jam?
You never know what someone else in the world is going through. He might have lost his job, lost a loved one, been diagnosed with a terminal disease. This is in no way an excuse, but you never know the state of someones mind, and the smallest thing could make them reach their boiling point. If someone pulls out a weapon, assume the worst, think about your loved ones, what you have to lose, and walk away.
Though I hate to see someone killed if my loved one was in an ambulance trying to get to the hospital and they were blocking the road I can understand this reaction.
People have been saying this will happen and it’s only going to get worse.
They were warned...
Okay and? How does that give the man who contributed absolutely nothing to the betterment of society to shoot two people who are trying to do so?
Knew this was coming
You CANOT block the roads
It’s against the law
Play stupid games.

If the police would do there job (before it happens) they would not have to arrest that man.
He's not arrested, as you can see, he is not handcuffed.
It seems like the police around the world just stand around doing nothing until it is too late.
I mean, its almost like... Theres a coordinated effort and event, and they all answer to the same masters.
Just cowards
Imagine using physical means to infringe on people's rights and then being surprised when they use physical means to stop you. That's like bringing your Jack Russel to intimidate your neighbor but then crying because his Doberman ripped it to shreds.
Let this be a warning to you eco becos
You don't live here you justify murder you don't know what is happening here I don't agree with the streets to be blocked but I'll never justify murder plus this is no eco protest this is because we have a tyrant government that wants to make a second Venezuela of Panama and that is not happening
@@ernestoechevers4741Then take it to the government, at their buildings. don't block the streets. 🤷🏽♀️

Have you bothered to find out what the Panamanians are protesting? They are not 'eco protesters'. You're falling for the propaganda and celebrating the murder of 2 men because they were protesting Chinese influence over their govt.
Don’t mess with old people.
Gov is responsible.
Yep. Corrupt Panamanian govt officials taking bribes from China so they can strip mine Panama is exactly what the people of Panama are protesting.
When anger meets stupid.
Looks like they all saw the gun and thought they should challenge him anyway. Stupid
It was bound to happen eventually. It will most certainly happen again. The fault lies partially with the authorities who allow this to happen and take no action. They are just as much to blame as the activists.
Yes the government is to blame that's why they're protesting, very badly at that
You would think, in that part of the world, they would know that an unholstered gun means business.
In any part of the world....
Climate protestors aren't the brightest bulbs at times.
Oh we did'nt get to see the shooting . You said WARNING GRAPHIC
You cannot believe The Sun ever.
TH-cam would have immediately taken the video down. It's a baby website for little babies now.
What took so long for this to happen?
Whoops. You shouldn’t illegally detain people.
where were the cops BEFORE the shootings?
And once again the police carry the wrong person to jail.
They have the right to lawfully protest. Blocking traffic is not lawful.
The man was sick and tired of their crap and just wanted to be left alone.

the world is collapsing, u can’t be living in peace and not contributing to society??
It was bound to happen. I knew that these idiots would push the wrong person too far eventually.
Don't talk crazy to an old man with a gun. Just saying.
If this was in America then I won't be surprised. Panama? I recall a woman blocked from taking her kids to school, got out of her car, calmly walk towards the eco-orcs and said "I have a gun in my car" then returned to her vehicle and drove through without further hindrance. Maybe that's the way forward. No necessarily shooting anyone but making it clear about the consequences.
Their road blocking caused their own deaths without any ambulance reaching them in time
This is what these people turn us into
Blocking the road is a crime. The old guy is a victim.
funny thing is, theyre causing more carbon emmisions forcing everyone to sit in the traffic thy created instead of people geting to their destinations in a timely manner
These people are actually protesting over predatory mining contracts, but still GET OUT OF THE F VCKING ROAD
They are not 'eco protesters'. Take minute to find out what they are protesting.
@@Ziggy_Moonglow They are eco-protestors, although they do have a MUCH more legitimate cause then the carbon cultists. (predatory mining contracts between politicians and Canadian mining companies)
That said, their methods are still unforgivable, and they got what they bought.
Stay out of the f cking road
If the police fail in their duty, what do they expect?
What ever happened to self defense? He's being held hostage against his will.
You play sill y games. You win silly prizes. I have NO SYMPATHY.
This like the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas. Push a man too far...
What did he do wrong?
I've seen so many versions of this video but none where anyone actually does any shooting. I think it's all made up.
by not contributing to the betterment of society in any way shape or form and then killing two people who do want to make a change, and you ask what did he do wrong??
Seconds before the shots fired one of the women said “so why don’t you just shoot?” Well, she found out.
And you dont bring chants to a gunfight
Frustrations boiling over , bound to happen
Notice they edit the video, but the audio gives you all the clues you need. The women started screaming BEFORE the gunshot. Why? Probably because they decided to rush the guy with a gun and when the full video is finally released we'll see it was self defense against two opponents, one of whom was armed with a giant stick.
Did the protesters try to grab that guy‘s gun?
No, but two of them tried to catch his bullets
Is this the sole reason for the shooting or it was the illegal road block with alot of hostile people?
They edited the video, but not the audio. Women start screaming before the gunshot- so yes. They rushed him and had to maintain the narrative so they edited that part. But they are leftists so they were too stupid to dub the audio.
@@CollaredConsulting They tried and managed to catch the bullets.
self defense, out numbered, the mob moving closer to the one older guy, the older guy feels threatened, he cant see where there hands are at times, even some move there hands behind there backs in order to scare him more,they see he has a gun, they not run away? so assume they are also armed. self defense
Doesn't it seem that this is being allowed to take place? why? what is happening to the world?
Since when did purposely barricading traffic become legal?
1:17 "why don't you sh.oo.t us all?" one protester yelling at the arm.ed oldman.
The man had a gun and they kept blocking the road. Why did they just keep standing there? How stupid!!
Where is the disturbing part?
Nobody has the right stop people going about their private lives who do these protesters think they are ?
This is going to happen here in the uk soon with the Stop oil protesters, when the police do nothing people are left no choice.
blocking trafic was a dumb move
but , taunting a guy who has holding a gun was on another level
RIP
Phony warning finding it disturbing when we see absolutely nothing.
These people think they are above the law (and it certainly looks like it). They just might have misjudged the situation... Perhaps if the cops had done their job this wouldn't have happened.
Most police in Panama are the protester's side. They don't want China in their country, period... You don't know what they are protesting, do you?
Carbon Neutralizer
only 2? my neighbor was ended because he put cameras up on the outside of their house and recorded the wrong people. careful where you stick your nose...
"Call the police!"
Yet they have hard time coming to the scene because of the blockade you caused. Sad to see lives lost but to be honest I won't shed any tears for these kind of "activists".
Why have the disturbing footage warning if you're not even going to show the disturbing part of the footage?
It's about times protesors realize about blocking public access! is a no no! There are other ways to protest.
In legal terms: It's kidnapping and Hostage taking! Is it not?
We all said 'someone is going to get hurt one of these days'.
怎么说呢，示威者的确非常讨厌
There you go
Roads open, next.
they are still closed 🙂 and will remain closed
So... they didn't show if the guy with the gun got attacked by a mob, or just up and shot 2 people not attacking him for no reason. .
The problem with messing with others is never knowing the intensity of the retaliation...
Astonishing how few understand
@@redlight3932 so simple and so difficult to understand for some
They tried to attack/tackle him, right?
No
Yes
It definitely sounds like a struggle before the shot. No unhinged threatening or cursing, sounds like they tried to rush him.
Its a tough call, but... play stupid games.... so sad
Well, that cleared up the protest quickly.
If law enforcers do not enforce the law, then citizens have to, and will.
Im sort of wondering why the guy that defended himself against the criminals is the one arrested?
Are all of the videos of this incident conveniently edited so we dont see what led to the trigger being pulled?
Not surprised.
Eco Terrorists detain, swarm and threaten a man with a gun. Darwin award winners who bet all and lost.
They were not 'eco protesters'. The media call them that so idiots, like you, will hate them and not bother to find out what they are protesting. You support China, the people of Panama do not. They are in the right, you are in the wrong.
einfach mal Ideologie ausschalten und auf Alte hören!
Now these idiots have provoked the people will play victim cards. But law must give right to the motoriat who may have emergency. And may be desperate to reach someone or someplace
it is just a matter of time and pressure before this trend picks up steam!
I don't think any jury will find this man guilty
If you honestly think a Panamanian jury will not find an American transplant guilty of murder of 2 Panamanians who were protesting the Chinese Communist Party's influence over the Panama govt, you've got a lot of empty space between your ears. It's not surprising so many people have no clue what the Panamanians are protesting, yet support the murder of those protesters. The TV told you to hate them, so you hate them... Nothing between those ears but mush.
This is not what "Extinction Rebellion" means, dears.
When a man pulls a gun...
Sorry for saying so, but this guy should defend himself that he acted from insanity as too many people gave him too much stress thus he lost mind.
Bet they moved then
The street is still closed, because it is a protest against corruption, when you love your country you know that you must continue
Alles, was man übertreibt, verwandelt sich in Leid.
I had to translate into English but I agree with you.
Government fault for letting this happen. Ambulance could have reached them but thanks to the blockade it could not. Technically the contributed to the death of those men
