The black man involved in this incident admitted on the news that he was intending to attack the white man. It wasn’t right to instigate, but nothing justifies violence, so defending himself by brandishing a gun is lawful and necessary.

I guess you don't care about these people lynched by protesters... you are race baiting ass-oles

What is the purpose of this description To make sure everyone knows the white guy is the bad guy? Exactly why I no longer read this fishwrapper. LATimes

Would help to see the seconds before this. Looks like the black guy is aggressively approaching the white guy - retreats as soon as he pulls the gun. The white gal steps in to calm things down. Other white guy looked to be running to get in front - to block the black man's path.

the man with the gun instigated things when he yelled racial slurs

Trump Army no doubt.

Хм,я задумалась

White Supremacists!

Vehicles kills more people than handguns. We should get rid of vehicles.

Ohio man denies Trump tweet that he's an 'anarchist' after video goes viralNathan Caraway attended Saturday's protest in downtown Columbus, Ohio, he said, not to clash with police but to present a message of peace But video of him amplified on President Trump's Twitter account thrust Caraway into an unexpected national spotlight When the Hong Kong thuggish police slaughtered Hong Kong people fighting for democracy, none of the left in the West demonstrates for them; when the virus was used by the CCP to massacre all mankind, none of the left in the West demonstrates for them. This story is garbage. Antifa is clearly the leading anarchist organization looting and rioting. Although NBC is spinning its narrative, significant evidence exists that a large percentage of the protesters support the rioters.
