Graphic (broken bones, possible murder) 

Because they're not just looting; they're brutally beating and attempting to murder storeowners.

@realcaseyrollins Holy shit. That poor guy. I hope he lives and they catch the people responsible for this shit. It's not right to beat people up. As shown, he might die from this. It didn't look like he was breathing or conscious.

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

@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.

@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 @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 @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.

@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?

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

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