People are conflating two issues, at this point I can only assume on purpose.
Was he hit being attacked by a skateboard? Yes. Was he being chased by an angry mob? Yes. Did he had justification to pull his gun and fire? Almost certainly yes.
Was he attacked by a knife - which was the basis for the entire post? No. It's fake news.
A title like "man fights off angry mob" would have been just fine - but no, we are reporting, and propping up falsehoods. Now that this incorrect account of events, and the photos we have "showing he had a knife" are circulating the internet it is only making .win members look like fools, and hurting our cause.
The TRUTH was in our favor - so why the need to spice it up with falsehoods?
‘Knife’?
‘No knife’?
Moot.
He hit him in the head with the edge or the metal truck of a skateboard: while he was being attacked by two others and while his weapon was drawn.
The man had just cause to use deadly force.
This exactly. Forget the knife lmao
It's not moot.
