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.
@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 @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.
