I saw the newest footage and I wondered why he didn't shoot the skateboard fag. Now I know.

Christ - even under those circumstances he evaluated and targeted the person with the legally recognized weapons for action. And fast.

I'm impressed.

He did hit the guy with the skateboard.

The guy shot here picked it up off the ground and hit him, and dropped it as he hit.

Likely because he is holding the kinfe too.

I'm surprised only one shot hit the dude.

That he didn't hit any other random bystanders in that big crowd behind him is pretty good.

He did angle himself so his shots were not going at the crowd, weather that was just lucky or good training is hard to say.

He did appear to pull out and fire the gun very smoothly and skillfully.

Probably all the CIA training he got.

They’re going to say he started it cuz some witnesses will say he said something they didn’t like. Our society is so fucked

Lol even that separate encounter is on camera, and they instigate by walking backwards into him holding their arms out to block his travel. He gives them several chances and after multiple strides back into him, he throws them to the ground. He shouldn't have to take that shit from anyone. In America, you can't just get in someone's way and repeatedly walk into them.

And he'll likely go to jail for being accused of saying something stupid in high school.

For being a white guy defending himself

It's a pair of glasses, not a knife. Still deserved acute lead poisoning though.

Yup. I saw that afterwards. The skateboard is still a weapon tho and being mobbed while retreating to the cries of 'I'm going to kill you' means high-velocity Darwin award time. Still skillfully executed tho.

Spez: I am wrong about this being photoshopped. There is clearly an object in his left hand that clearly drops to the ground when he collapses later.

Original Post: There was no knife. This is photoshopped. This image is just after he hit him with the skateboard and the board is dropped, and just before the attacker was shot. Fake News!

Good work!

Hmm. I think it was more likely it was the side pieces (or bows) of the glasses. Plus I thought it was the guy on the right that hit him with the board.

After reviewing the higher quality video, he does have an object in his left hand. You can also see it drop from his hands when he collapses. It does look like you can see the 2 circles of glasses when they fall to the ground.

I honestly don't give a fuck anymore.

He glows. I’m suspicious.

Might wanna check your eyes, then. This was the clearest cut case of self defense, filmed from multiple angles, that you'll see in some time.

guy above was saying he’s a plant, not saying i agree, just giving context to glows

I'm familiar with glow in the dark CIANs.

Nah, if he GLOWS he would have shot again to make sure the guy was dead then also shot the other people after reloading. This is legit and 100% justified.

In that case the CIA needs a raise

It means He may be a plant by a Fed to stir up violence. Before we had other angles it looked like he charged in and tackled the guy and then ran back. But people seem to know him as part of a group so he may be legit. At first that situational awareness and shot accuracy under pressure looked pretty suspicious to me.
