Saw video clips of that on twitter last night but they said he had a ‘sword’, which sounded odd.

The worst video I saw (though the guy isn’t in as bad of shape as the Dallas guy) was a dude straight up soccer-kicked in the head when he was already out cold.

I heard "machete."

There's a longer video of him wielding the machete chasing after the "protestors."

[jon-nyc]

Here it is. This is hard to watch.

I would never condone violence against anybody for any reason, but that racist got exactly what was coming to him.

[Mik]

The kid who kicked him should have received some aftermarket ventilation.

1. Do not go out and antagonize a mob.
2. Keep a wall behind your back.
3. If in imminent danger, pick out the baddest dude and put a 158g hollowpoint in his gut. The screams tend to deter other badasses...

That guy is lucky to be alive. A kick like that is often fatal.

Lock ‘em up

Don't know what "aftermarket ventilation" mean, but they kicker should be identified and prosecuted the full extent of the law.

[jon-nyc]

Tweet thread has some clips of looting and a bonfire in soho if you scroll down.

[Horace]

Scary scene indeed. Imagine the terror of being a protester and not being able to so much as shove a cop or throw a water bottle at them without them totally flipping out and overreacting.

So, who had "Riots in the Streets" on their 2020 Bingo Card?

@George-K LOL...add it to the yearly list! I wonder what July will bring. Maybe we'll see fireworks (literal and figurative).

One possibility is that the multiple horrors of these riots is that they won’t happen again closer to the election. If past is prologue this will be a distant memory. On the other hand this could be our “arab spring”.

[Larry]

It's past time to start killing these bastards.

[LuFins Dad]

Yes, let’s use disproportionate police violence to end these riots that were started because of disproportionate police violence.

[Larry]

It's past time to thin the herd. I don't care if the police do it, or if Henry Hardware Store does it.

No kidding. Obesity rates are at an all time high.
