Mormon sidewalk band turns Arizona Wal-Mart parking lot into the OK Corral.

Courtesy of Facebook
From Raw Story:  

The suspects in a fatal brawl with police outside an Arizona Wal-Mart have been identified as a family from Idaho who had apparently been living in a vehicle in the store’s parking lot for days before the melee, authorities said on Tuesday. 

Five adults and one juvenile were booked on multiple charges stemming from the fight that erupted late on Saturday in Cottonwood after police responded to a report that a female Wal-Mart employee was assaulted by multiple suspects. 

Police said the officers were immediately attacked by the suspects in the parking lot and that during the fracas, 21-year-old Enoch Gaver was shot and killed, while his brother David Gaver, 28, was shot in the abdomen.

One police officer, 31-year-old Sergeant Jeremy Daniels, was also shot and remains in a hospital in Flagstaff, about 45 miles away. Daniels, a 10-year veteran of the Cottonwood Police Department, is expected to make a full recovery.

Several of the family members were arrested for Aggravated Assault and Attempted Homicide, including the parents, three of their children (All in their late twenties.), and an unidentified juvenile.

Here is the part that I found particularly interesting:

Several of the Gavers were sidewalk musicians who perform in a Mormon band called Matthew 24 Now.

Mormon street musicians who engage in shootouts with the police? Whatever happened to riding their bikes in a suit and tie and going overseas to proselytize to the French?

But what am I saying? This is Arizona.

Apparently in Arizona even the Mormon street musicians are packing heat.

I'm not sure, but I don't think this is how you become a god and get your own planet.

    Interesting that the reports I've seen on this all have the same slant: "crazy religious nut family attacks small town desert hero police".

    I mean, maybe that IS how it went down, but it's an interesting phenomenon to me the way everyone is immediately embracing the "official" version of events without question here.

      Have you another scenario to present? A reasonable one? So far, from experience, we at IM have been good about presenting different facets of events here.

      Present yours.

      There is no other version. They attacked and attempted to rape a female employee, who was beaten badly. Then they had a shoot out when the police showed up.

      Laugh all you want 7:44. Enjoy yourself. And when you can stop, you can then try to give me that other scenario being hinted at by Boscoe.

      I notice you don't seem to present one. Hhhmmm.I wonder why that is?

      I don't care what boscoe wrote, I wasn't laughing at that. I was laughing at your dumbass comment:

      "So far, from experience, we at IM have been good about presenting different facets of events here."

      Hahahaaaaa. You are an idiot. You sound just like a c4per... so sure of your righteousness, and yet so dumb and ignorant at the same time. You would be hard pressed to find a bigger distortion of reality anywhere on the web to feed the ultra liberal fantasies that dwell around here.

      "I don't care what boscoe wrote, I wasn't laughing at that."

      And in all actuality, you really don't seem to care about ANYTHING - except trying to destroy. We have consistently read of different aspects of all sorts of stories in this blog. Whether or not you acknowledge that is unimportant. Just as Cruz can't seem to understand or accept the science behind global warming because of his ignorant religious beliefs, you can't seem to do anything except scream and laugh at people, trying to create discord and any other form of negativity you can stir up.

      You act like a troll and get more and more virulent with your comments as those you aim at ignore your tirades and laugh at you.

      Please go away. Most of us here are tired of your ilk. Either that or go away because you don't like what you find here. Either is fine with me.

  5. What? A family out on the town, several generations, engaged in a drunken brawl? In Arizona? And they're self described religious folks - it all sounds vaguely familiar.

    They had all been living in their car in the Walmart parking lot for a week before this. Now the only thing I do doubt is that there was a juvenile. I mean is Track Palin still missing in action?

    The story I'm getting is that the Buskers weren't packing. The police officer was shot with his own gun after it was wrestled away from him.

      Okay, there you have it, Boscoe. Now that wasn't so hard was it? Gee. Another scenario presented by those who supposedly immediately accept the "official" version.

      Now for a question for 7:54. In your version, who shot the other two persons and with what? If you know, I'd like to hear it.

    Let's see: Idaho--lots of batshit insane, violent, stupid idiots are from there. Mormons--they're not all Donnie and Marie; they can be quite violent and have killed their own members and others. Living in a Wal-Mart parking lot--what sane person does that?
