He also wasn't a store owner (unless you have info updated from what I saw). What I saw (which certainly could be wrong) was him post that he was taking his machete down there because there's a bar he likes to go to.

all early reports were that he was the owner of the business he was in front of ... if not, so be it - hope he pulls thru this #### with no long term effects, but that didn't look possible after the #### i saw.

can't argue with that ... and it wasn't a post where i got it from, guy told me this morning it's what he heard out today in the City.
he doesn't do FB or other social media ... so that's that.

If this is all true, he rushed a bunch of people with a sword and they beat him up. He is ok. If that is the full story then it's really a miracle nobody was seriously hurt in the altercation.

Seattle natives won't use umbrellas in the rain. It shows who's local. But they know how to use them.

That's what they were doing in Hong Kong the knly difference is they have been rioting over a year and there hasn't been a single looting.

Asian culture is a lot different. Here people will flip over cars and burn them because their favorite team won or lost a playoff game. So we are always going to have an element that is looking to take out their frustrations through violence. Many Asian cultures don’t have that rebellious selfish streak near the way Americans do. The tend to be more respectful of authority there.rascal said:

It’s crazy how many weird videos of cops there are. Here’s one I just saw of the police breaking the metal protective gate for a jewelry store. https://twitter.com/kurtnicehhl/status/1268152494036844545?s=21
There are several videos of cops planting bricks, cops destroying their own cars, cops busting out windows of parked cars, cops destroying medic stations and their supplies.

Is the police looting stores any different that the rioters looting stores? Cops are people, too.
Nah, who knows what that's all about. Cant imagine they would be dumb enough to just cut open a wall knowing people are watching to just loot the place. Or maybe that's the genius of it

Apparently some looters were inside and the owner called police...per the twitter thread.

I don't understand why people are so afraid of rioters and looting. The flu kills way more people every year.

Antifa really needs to go. Like if they burn property get arrested for arson. Like to the letter of the law.
Yeah not quite...bad apples everywhere even in Asia and there was plenty of violence during the last round of HK protests.
“Multiple stores operating mainland Chinese-linked businesses were vandalised, trashed and set on fire during the protest on October 20, which began with an illegal but peaceful march in Tsim Sha Tsui.”

Lot’s of other examples but am too lazy to look them up. I also seem to recall the protesters in HK holed up in universities that they were fortifying to keep the police out of. Folks with bows and arrows and other weapons.

Saw that after, thanks. That is my bad because apparently in the twitter replies the answer was there.

Everything is under control on Philly...no need to panic.
@AESteele: Philly Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw and Mayor Jim Kenney are visiting businesses along Germantown Ave and Erie. “These are our neighbors. These are our folks,” Kenney said.
@AESteele: Moments later, a man on the street punched a news photographer in the face in full view of the police commissioner and mayor, knocking him down, bloodying his face.
