Perspective
prevnextAnother angle of the sword guy
This video apparently agrees with my perspective the man was attempting to protect his store
Got foolish
Rushed rioters

Shop owner vs rioters is all

Alleged Sword-Wielder
prevnextFirst of all, I felt a certain amount of direct danger from the large groups of people moving through that neighborhood, because Victory Park is MY neighborhood. I live in an apartment building only a few blocks from where I was attacked. I didn't come from far away.

Restraint
prevnextExactly. When he's clearly already down and probably not getting up anytime soon, to go in there and give another kick to the face? That is inexcusable IMO

prevnextI think the very important takeaway from this guy and anyone who wants to copy his idea - Don't do that. Don't bring a sword to a protest where people are literally afraid for their lives. Stay and home and lock your doors if you think the scary black folk are out to get you

Sword Forensics
From the looks of that sword, it seems that he was defending himself with a Gladius, a blade that was invented in the ancient Roman period armed by Roman Soldiers. Though this information isn't really requires it's the detail that counts pic.twitter.com/H18wgXCiKd
