Just Saw the Video of the Shop Owner In Downtown Dallas being killed or injured

Critically...

Things are off the rails...

Apparently a shop owner tried to defend his business with a large sword. He was then beaten to death by a group of men.

I won't link to the snuff film on Twitter. You can search it if you want to.

Or not... Either way it's the second person dying on video I had to watch this week.

Hoping he makes it, and was only unconscious in that horrible attack video. Was actively wishing there wouldn't be a Reginald Denny sort of incident during these insurrections.

but I'll need a different source than glenn beck's BlazeTV on the "defending his business" angle.

I simply can't take watching the kind of violence described.

The torrent unleashed by the white nationalists is clearly now out of control.

Charged across the street 30-40ft brandishing the sword at a large group of protesters...

Just a really messed up situation...

19. I'm happy to say after hours of searching, I've learned that his is alive and at home.

I looked for it last night after you posted, then searched today again on Twitter, etc., and found his name and Twitter handle and the story from his point of view.

He regrets his attempt to defend a bar he likes to frequent from attack by looters and it went sideways right away.

Blaze TV captured and posted the video, it's like them to stir shit.
