[Warning: Graphic Video] Looters Brutally Beat a Man Wielding a Machete

Following the death of George Floyd, a peaceful protest started but soon later, malicious individuals started to take advantage of this protest as an opportunity to loot. A recent video has been uploaded on YouTube last May 31, 2020, and shows the dark side of the whole situation as a man was brutally beaten by a mob.

The man was beaten down in the middle of the street until the looters around him started getting hints that they had almost actually killed the man. The man's blood spread on the street while his body did not move. One person tried to turn him over to check but another person said to leave him alone.

The title of the video says that the man was trying to defend his business with a machete from the looters who were trying to destroy the store and steal his hard-earned business. The title also hints that the situation happened in Dallas.

Despite the title, an Instagram video shows a longer cut wherein the "vigilante" is seen walking down the street wielding a machete while people are seen throwing what looked like rocks or other objects at him. The man then decided to run towards the crowd and that is when he received the beating.

Blood on the video

At first, the looters were very energetic and started beating him with all that they had cursing at him and ganging up on him until they started taking hints that they could have actually murdered the man as well. The video ends with one of the looters saying "look at your s****d a**" and received a reply "he came out with a sword."

If you see this video on twitter the story is skewed, not the full truth, and narrative turned against the protestors, this was NOT the owner of the store as the DPD Confirmed. This was a "vigilante" outside a store who pulled a sword on a teen skating ahead of the protestors and threaten him when there was no violence or looting of any kind and people witness stepped in to protect him. The kid had a huge slash in his hand, under no circumstances does anyone deserve to get beat like this but this is his fault. Do not believe the story of "looters attacked innocent white man" when the Twitter video was cropped to make protestors look bad. stay safe stay woke.

The comment section begged the question "Is this what you call justice for George Floyd?" while the rest of the comments were a mixture of hate, condolences, and sadness over the situation. Clearly, in the video, things have gotten out of hand and a man was brutally beaten but the video cannot specifically identify their faces due to the speed, the low resolution, and the fact that some of them had face masks on.

Justice for George Floyd

Just recently, a video has been uploaded to the internet sparking a public outrage as many people saw a certain George Floyd slowly dying as his neck was crushed under the knee of a police officer by the name of Derek Chauvin.

The police officer Derek pressed his knee on Floyd's neck for three minutes even after the man was clearly unconscious. The shocking video started the BlackLivesMatter movement once again while people started peacefully protesting for justice to be served.

The video on Instagram that revealed the full length of the video tells a different narrative saying do not be fooled by the video and that the man is in no way an actual store owner.
