This was bound to happen one day.

A motorist who shot dead two environmental protesters blocking a road in Panama on Tuesday is a retired American lawyer, it has been revealed.

Kenneth Darlington, 77, appeared before a judge in the town of La Espiga on Wednesday afternoon, and after a two-hour hearing was remanded in custody.

According to local media, the Panamanian-born US citizen - who was seen in both video and pictures shooting dead two teachers blocking a road on a highway - has a previous conviction for illegal possession of a firearm.

It is understood he declared 'this ends here' before walking up to the road block on a section of the Pan-American Highway in the Chame district and getting into a heated argument with a group of men that included the two victims.

In front of a large number of photographers and television crews there to film the protest, he then gunned down the two men.

No commies aren't, however for context this is part of an ongoing decade's long indigene rights anti-mining protest (Canadian mining company). EDIT: There seems to be an effort in the MSM to portray this as part of the worldwide climate change/ stop big oil environmental damage protests - when i's more that locals have been pissed at the mining company and it's practices since it's inception.

Then they should have done the protest by blocking government buildings instead of public roads that is penalizing citizens only.
