In Salt Lake City right now

~40 year old white man driving car gets swarmed by mob, exits his vehicle with a bow and arrow and shoots one rioter who attempts to charge him, then get swarmed and beaten by the mob. Not clear what happened after that but {unreliable rumors} are he was taken into protective custody by police but his vehicle was clearly torched by the mob

On the subject of Minneapolis police:

Its time to defund them and privatize security.

Oh god, can you imagine if everybody in the riots was walking around with a semi or full auto? My "just let the world burn" boner is raging at the thought.
