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?
It's not moot.
