This video apparently agrees with my perspective the man was attempting to protect his store
Got foolish
Rushed rioters
Nearly lost his life
Has nothing to do with black vs white
Shop owner vs rioters is all

BREAKING: man critically injured at Dallas riots

It appears he attempted to defend a shop with a large sword
Looters ran at him, then he charged rioters
They then beat him with a skateboard and stoned him with medium sized rocks

Dallas police have reportedly lost control of the city, and armed militia are on the way to defend businesses and good citizens. More on that in a later article.
A longer video, showing more of the initial confrontation, can be seen below.
Full unedited video for editorial requests. Please attribute to Elijah Schaffer of Blaze TV. I cannot confirm he was the store owner, but I pulled out my camera when I saw him appearing to defend a store, then he was rushed, then made the move that might have cost him his life pic.twitter.com/8oGa2obBbp

Based on the video, it’s likely that this man’s injuries are fatal.
Reports state that while the man was down, bleeding on the floor, rioters continued looting and paying him no attention.
Stay home, stay safe, and keep your guns close.
