Fact: This took place in New Mexico during a protest on Monday 06.16.20
Everything else is hearsay, finger-pointing, and speculation.
His story: the 'good guys' are going with is he was just there exercising his rights to carry a long-gun when he was threatened and attacked. He was hit with the skateboard and felt threatened for his life.
Their story: He and a group of armed men were at the protest for no reason but to intimidate the protesters and were instigating a confrontation.
It looks like he was wearing a plate carrier and his shot patterns make me think he knew how to fire that rifle.
NSFW - Language and gun shots

I saw that earlier today, regardless if right or wrong (different perspective and all), when he committed, he committed.

I’ve been (was before the pandemic) getting tactical pistol training and that’s no shit. The muscle memory exercises are, if you have to draw, you draw and commit, assess and evaluate, then reholster.
That church shooting a few months ago really made me think about how and why I carry.

Who was wearing a plate carrier and shooting a rifle? I believe this is a different video/angle of the same incident Thunderhorse posted earlier.
The guy in the blue shirt doesn't have a carrier visible to me and shot the other guy using a pistol. Maybe I'm missing something?

Plenty of video for people to form an educated opinion. Showing him walking away from the altercation, and then being chased down. I can't imagine any part of what happened prior to him being chased down being in any way relevant to his actions. You can hear what the intent of running him down was and one voice is loud and clear "We're going to fucking kill you."

Yeah, I heard that too. Was not sure if it was 'them' or if it was him shouting a warning.

Thanks @Florida173 - that's a much better still image than what I saw from trying to freeze the video.

Gotcha. In the other video of the incident, which @ThunderHorse posted, you can clearly see that brown thing is a towel/scarf/shemagh or something. It's not a plate carrier...or if it is, it's the worse design ever.

I missed Thunder's video....I'll have to go back and look. That's why I made a point of saying:

No worries. Just clarifying for myself as well.

OK, what's with the fucking whistle? Is that a signal for everyone to go to the safe place?! For fucks sake.
I could never be that guy and go to one of these things while carrying - I'd eat my own bullet.
