@kakol @realcaseyrollins what is an "Assault Rifle"?

@kakol @realcaseyrollins

to protect themselves against governments gone bad and hordes of totalitarians attacking them

@EMPEROR @kakol Other citizens too, but yeah, exactly.

@realcaseyrollins
To be fair, you would need to start with #JeromePowell.
@EMPEROR @kakol

@sim @realcaseyrollins I will beat you up

@salvvaje @realcaseyrollins Good joke.

@sim @realcaseyrollins really?

@salvvaje @realcaseyrollins I'm just assuming it was a joke after what I said. Ha.

@sim @realcaseyrollins you should assume nothing, do I have a dick?

@salvvaje @realcaseyrollins I don't know. It's just easier to assume joke than any alternative.

@sim @realcaseyrollins Do I have a dick tho

@salvvaje
You can't tell???
@sim

@salvvaje
I'm having trouble verifying this but word is that he's okay. He was photographed being conscious after the attack.
@sim

@realcaseyrollins @salvvaje @sim story gets weirder though - he wasnt the owner - just some random dude with a machete who says its his favorite bar. Police dont really buy the story - hes still under investigation.

@a7
I wonder what he's bring investigated for. 🤔
@salvvaje @sim

@realcaseyrollins @a7 @sim r u black?

@salvvaje
Yep! 😎 Hbu?

@realcaseyrollins @salvvaje @sim the story not being believable and running at people with a machette

@a7
Hmm. Seems believable enough. But rumor has it he slashed at or chased at least one person, not sure for what tho.
@salvvaje @sim

@realcaseyrollins @salvvaje @sim so you go to your favorite pub by yourself in the middle of a riot to protect it with a machete while having 0 communication with the owners?

@a7
I mean, he said it was his favorite...
@salvvaje @sim

@a7 @realcaseyrollins @salvvaje Yeah, this story is really weird. Just seeing his body beaten up like that shocked me, but investigating further the stuff I'm hearing is conflicting. It wasn't wise to run at them with a weapon.

@sim @realcaseyrollins @salvvaje im thinking people were like ‘dude what are you gonna do with that machette’ then beat the fuck out of him

@a7 @realcaseyrollins @salvvaje Yeah. Not sure they thought it would reach a point where he might have died. At least other people helped him out so it didn't reach that point.

@sim
Yeah. If they didn't care they would've kept beating him.
@salvvaje @a7

@sim @realcaseyrollins @salvvaje i mean - i think he was beat for simply having a machete is my guess, some one asked wtf is that for, he said something -

now here is the part we have witnesses and partial video of: they tossed some shit at him as he was walking away according to reports - if hes protecting that bar - why is he ‘walking away’ - and then he turns around and runs at them with a machete.

@a7
Maybe it was to chase after that person he reportedly went after
@salvvaje @sim

@realcaseyrollins @salvvaje @sim i dunno maybe he just really really likes that bar but my brain is more thinking >fuck the police are coming - uhh uhh shit FUCK y-ya that bar behind me i was protecting that totally they will buy that FAVORITE BAR’

@a7 @realcaseyrollins Maybe... makes me wonder why he really had the weapon. Maybe self-defence, except that it seems to have backfired in this case.

@sim @realcaseyrollins I was thinking opportunistic violence of some sort - he had urges or a specific somebody and he felt riot was good cover.

@a7 @realcaseyrollins I would agree. They saw he had a weapon, and went after him. I mean, he might have thought about getting out of their way as they were throwing things at him? Then decided to meet them head on so turned back around. He didn't stand a chance. I doubt he even tried to dodge out of the way or use his weapon properly.

@realcaseyrollins @salvvaje Yeah, it seems like the media are reporting that he is in a stable condition. They briefly mention it here... it was in dallas, right?

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2020/05/31/dallas-leaders-to-consider-curfew-after-nearly-90-arrested-in-protests/

@sim
Yep, that's the place! Thanks for the update
@salvvaje

@realcaseyrollins @salvvaje No problem! At least we know more about it. I think rt also wrote about it.

@sim
Do we know his name yet?
@salvvaje

@realcaseyrollins C.A. Shoultz? At least, according to this: https://www.rt.com/usa/490322-dallas-man-attacked-sword/ But who can say with certainty?

@sim
Ohhhh yeah now that I remember it I saw him tweeting and telling people he was okay.

@realcaseyrollins Yeah, I'm just glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been. His body looked really wrong on the ground, twisted out of shape.

@sim @realcaseyrollins looks like he brought the wrong kind of claymore

@rok0 @realcaseyrollins Looks that way, huh? Makes me wonder if he even got to use it. No one else seems to have been hurt.

@freemo
Yeah it's definitely a case by case basis. From what I've seen, there have been more white people than black people committing the violence, but I can't see everything.

@realcaseyrollins There is a huge narrative right now of "white guy evil" and "white people are causing all the violence". As such there is a lot of people intentionally sharing video to demonstrate that (and I've seen a lot of such video). But I think that's really skewing it.

When I look at random live feeds however of various events of violence it is pretty consistently 90% black with only a few exceptions.

Though again, not imply that blacks are more violent people. It just is the expected demographics given this is inner city protest with a majority BLM members.

@freemo
Yeah. #California specifically had a lot of white rioters.

I'm trying to be even in the clips I post too, there are bad people and good people on both sides and all races.

@realcaseyrollins yea exactly.. all the rioters are evil people and if you catch white rioters on video or lack rioters largely just depends on if your in a white town or black town... San francisco is probably mostly whites and maybe some mexicans (hard to tell as mexicans arent necessarily easy to identify by skin color).

Its just whatever the demographics of the area is.

@realcaseyrollins @freemo There is a big mix from what I've seen. ... It's a very diverse mob
