A small business owner was brutally beaten by looters because he was allegedly defending his store with a machete.

It happened Saturday night in Dallas ... as looters descended on the man's store, who was using a sword, allegedly trying to defend himself and his business. The disturbing video shows rioters viciously beat him, rendering him bloody and unconscious. He was beaten with skateboards, rocks and fists, and suffered multiple gashes all over his body. You even hear someone yell,"Turn him over!"Dallas exploded in violence Saturday night with protests.

this is fucked up on so many levels😤

They were attacking him first so yeah y’all blacks are animals and it’s looking like a planet of the apes movie out here

My man is folded up like a lawn chair from the dollar store. Shouldn’t have been chasing people around with a fucking sword

Yeh so take it from this guy here. Just don't. You will lose. Dont call the cops. They too busy ! Treated.

They're not going to stop this or fix it. They know exactly what they're doing.

Got what he deserved

I’m not saying he deserved it, but once he left the property and started chasing down people with a sword he was in the wrong. Just like the asshat with the bow & arrowroot shoot at the protestors. Like the saying goes... he bought a knife to a gunfight!

I seen that ! Bruh has his hair come out on the right out his skill . Fucken OUCH!

Does anyone know what happened to him This is disgusting.

You forgot to add he came at people with a sword

F-ing THUGS

Watch the whole video. Charging toward someone is not defending, it's attacking.

Machete? Should have brought an assault rifle

I don’t appreciate your headline! It implies that he was beaten without reason...he was wielding a machete and threatening protestors! Shameful headline that is misleading!!!

any update on his well-being?

This headline is so wrong. How about man swinging sword/machete get beaten.

He wasn’t defending his store read the real story

Bro he doesn't own shit he's a psycho nerd

fake news

TMZ is just like CNN, they spew fake news all the time

This is the third time you posted the same story 🧐must have run out of crap news

Was he really?

That’s very bad😡 if it’s bad to be meted out to blacks same goes for whites. Please stop fighting evil with evil

He was beaten for being an idiot. PSA: If anyone ever comes running at me with a sword, I'm shooting you with bullets....a lot of them. Then TMC can make you out to be a 'victim' too.

That's not his store, grandstanding at its worst

Honoring the memory of GeorgeFloyd

clayaiken who did this?

this is inaccurate please remove or print the correction

Take this story the fuck down TMZ. It’s actual fake news.

“WHITE MAN CHASING PROTESTORS WITH MACHETE TO DEFEND HIS FAVORITE BAR”

While I understand why people are angry, I do not understand the violence against the innocent. Coupled with this pandemic, people are trying to save their livelihoods. Yes, these things are materialistic but it is not easy rebuilding. Tired of all things COVID-19 & violence!

BabCock sux Harvynutz !!

DISAPPOINTED!!!! Y’all usually report accurate information!!!! BULLSHIT!!!!!

Edit ....they may also be White Supremists!!!

He was going after people with a machete!

Ppl looking in from the outside probably thinks America is the most embarrassing country .

THE TWEETER FOR YOU ALL MUST BE RACIST !! THIS IS LIKE STANDING UP FOR THE MAN THAT HAD A CROSS BOW IF YOU HAVE A WEAPON WALKING THE STREET YOU ARE A DANGER TO CITIZENS OF THE USA . SO THEY PROTECTED THEMSELVES FROM BEEN CUT UP HE IS NOT A POLICE OFFICER U CANT DO THAT

Did he die, whether or not he was the owner?

This headlines is misleading it should read “Man was peacefully protesting the looting of businesses when he was mobbed by the looters”

Sounds about WHITE

Why did he have to chase them Let them break shit and call the insurance company to come take care of it

Fake news.. and yal keep reposting this to keep tension ignited.. fock tmz

He was left in multiple positions for his lawless behavior, he wasn't defending a business, he was trying to kill people. Maybe he will regain the feeling in his legs again one day.

Fake news

This is nothing compared to with evil white did to the black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921 aka The Black Wall Street. I find it crazy just white can forget all the wicked evil that they had too black and others throughout time and still doing. Stop being such a hypocrite.

JR Smith beat the s*** out of somebody for knocking out a window and a stupid ass car but a white guy tries to fight for his business from Thugs and it's a big deal really

Put your life savings in a business and let thugs try to take it from you and see what you do

Thank God the business owner was white if he was black it would actually make the news and they would be protests

Defending his business with a machete did you’ll forget that part. That business can be rebuilt but his life...lord they folded him like a piece of hotdog bread. 😂😂😂

He was swinging a fucking sword at a teenaged kid and got his ass beat was what happened

Hope they got face pictures

How’s this possible when they are so righteous for a righteous cause.

Stop this shit. He has NO BUSINESS. And he was chasing a black kid with a fucking sword. They retaliated, not saying it's right, just saying that people need to stop with one sided false ass fucking stories.

Inked_up_Beast You might want to retract that. Not a store owner a Madman running around with a fucking machete

I wonder if tmz has people from the black community working for them, because you’re blatantly disrespecting them by spreading lies about this protest

He was trying to 'protect' his favorite place to get drunk. He himself admitted it. Smh

Stop defending the wrong thing 🤷🏾‍♀️🥴

chrissyteigen you gonna bail these people out too? troll

*White guy who threatened life of Black boy with a Samurai sword gets ass beat

HowardStern ActionBronson JackOsbourne mrjaxtaylor

That is sad!

No he was not defending his business!! He went after a group of protesters with a machete and got what he deserved.

He was not defending his business. He was however swinging a machete and swiped at a kid on a skateboard, all of which we knew yesterday afternoon. Do you people make any attempt at investigating or do you just pull your shit of Twitter?

This was crazy! There are some out there that are out of control

Live look inside the protestors heads

Stop posting this BS. He was beat because he was trying to slice people into pieces with a damn sword. tmz take this BS down.

😤😤😤😤

He chased an innocent kid on a skate board with a sword......

This is damn near 36 hours late and not even the full story

Or breaking news: 'Guy chases protestors with machete.'

He attacked a young boy on a skateboard first because he thought the boy was gonna smash his window. According to the full video I saw, however this is truly sad he shouldn't be outside defending nothing with so much anger in the air.

Beaten for Charging a black child with a sword! Fix your headline

FAKE

Yeah he’s fine...he was on twitter saying he went down there with his sword to protect a local bar he likes.......in other words that man is a fool 🤦🏾‍♂️

I’ll shit I know the real story. TMZ do your job

Enough is enough. This is going to far

Bruh wtf. This madness must end

Fake news!

Do better TMZ.

This Dallas man was subdued after he chased & tried to kill random ppl with a sword. There's video TMZ, stop lying or being lazy or both.

HES. AN. IDIOT. TO. COME. OUTSIDE. ON A. DAY. LIKE THIS

These Animals must pay

It looks like he got hit over his head with a rock. I know he had a sword and maybe it was ok to unarm him with some force but the rock to his head. That’s murder!

This dude look like his corpse was just pulled from a casket

Didn’t u post this yesterday And wasn’t there hundred of people tweeting at you this isn’t the real story, stop trying paint a one sided story!! You guys are apart of the problem!! But hey bad press is good press right? Low life shits

You determine if this look like protection. Mid street machete in air running. Warning video is graphic.

He wasnt viciously beaten, he had previous health issues that contributed to his downfall....you ain't know🤔

That’s what he gets

Welp, here is more broken media. Celebrity news trying to pretend to be real news.

LIE!

False information

ATTEMPTED MURDERER WITH SWORD GETS INCAPACITATED BY VICTIMS IN MOVE OF SELF DEFENSE

Did he survive this?

I am sure that bitch ChrissyTiegen will bail out the thugs instead of funding the shop owners that lost everything

These are the things that should not happen!! We can’t descend into anarchy with dystopian behavior. We’re no better than the cop if we allow this... STOP THIS NOW!

mariapiazubieta porque no haceis escadalo tio , que lo an matado por defender su negocio ,su cada dia

Stop posting this shit

Misinformation. There is videos of him chasing people with a machete acting crazy. TMZ needs to stick to Kardashian related news.

TMZ sucks

And then I unfollowed TMZ

I thought he was protecting his favorite bar with a machete?

He wasn’t defending, he was charging at the crowd with a machete.

Celebrities should be openly helping HARD WORKING people who’s life’s work is getting thrown to shit bc of peoples criminal activity. THIS IS NOT A PROTEST. & This mans medical bills as welll!! No they wanna bail out the people fucking this guy up

Fix this headline . 😡 this some BS

Delete this

Why are you still perpetrating this lie? Twitter this needs a fact check notice.

No beat and kicked for chasing a man with a sword

Y’all are late with this.

Awe I Thought Yall Said Sum🧏🏽‍♀️

🖤🇵🇷🏝🐢

Antifa terrorists kill innocent man.. Puke media

Tmz is controlled by governament , unfollow this shit

No caption needed

Cmon tmz just continue to do what you do best and tell us what actors or rappers died

You suck

Take this shit down you know it’s inaccurate

Can we report this tweet please

He wasn’t a store owner. He attacked the crowd with a fucking sword. He deserved it.

You posted this AFTER this story has been refuted by the man himself and his threats on twitter have been exposed along with a video of him attacking kids. This is deliberate misinformation, fuck you.

Nowwwwww tell the whole truth. Don’t be THAT type of media. It’s fucked up he was beat that way but y’all have the videos

They have been corrected numerous times. They’re just here for click bait. They would rather push a false narrative than be on the side of change

One weird dude brings a sword. Another brings a bow and arrows. This isn't Skyrim for God's sake. Now if someone throws a lightning bolt next I'll take that back but so far I am unimpressed.

Shoulda stood in front of his store with his sword. Started chasing people, now look at him

he had a sword chasing protesters. he wasn’t even a owner of a business.

Boycott tmz

No

This is the 3rd time you've posted this b.s. Get your facts straight. Or do you know this is false and have a particular goal in continuing to spread this lie, Harvey?

He tried to stab a kid and was put in his place lmao He wasnt even defending his business, he was from elsewhere and thought he was going to LARP as a soldier for christ. He failed Jesus, turns out.

should npt be involved after getting things wrong again and again. U main thing that needs to get cancel.

With a Lord of the Rings sword. Homeboy thought he was Frodo for a minute.

This was a horrible thing to watch. It's one thing to steal from his store, but another to pummel and bloody this storeowner as a vicious mob while he's prostrate. Horrendous!

Over 50 dead Protesters paid to destroy property, lives....

Y’all keep posting this and we keep correcting you! He was chasing people with a sword and he wasn’t a business owner! Fix the damn headline

Oh yes these white people Beating these white people is what’s been going on 🙄

tmz acting like we didn’t see the whole video

Horrible teens that’s not nice I hope the store owner guy is ok, and to all the store owners that are affected by the hands of the protesters I’m sorry and please understand it will get better💔 George Floyd💔

FIX THE HEADLINE

STOP SPREADING FAKE NEWS U DONT KNOW WHAT UR TALKING ABT. HE TRIED TO ATTACK THEM

Stop lying. He didn't have a business. We see through your bullshit.

shame on you guys, it’s your literal job to tell the truth to what’s actually fucking happening

Fake news. He was chasing a kid with a sword. Hire better journalist. Don’t become CNN

Too bad

So How is this Just Protesting..this is why Things Never get Resolved...if you Riot, the Idiot News people's points that is Y we R Divided As A Nation & It needs to Stop, how is destroying Peoples Businesses going to Resolve the Loss of George..Wake Up, they Arrested the Asshole!

TMZ and their fake news.. lol there is whole video of this grown man chasing children with sword..

This whole thing is very confusing to me being from the UK, a man gets killed by police so people are now robbing, rioting and beating up shop owners, makes no sense to me.

clark

Worst thing I saw this weekend. Hope those bastards are caught and sent to prison

Ummm y’all forgot about the part where is dude have a whole weapon tryna kill someone. Tf. Y’all never tell the whole story 🤦🏽‍♀️ smh

He chased protesters with a sword !

This story is inaccurate he didn't defend his store or any store at all as it turned out this guy was just some lunatic with a sword that wanted to hurt people and he targeted an innocent black man. People took it in their own hands to take this maniac down.

Fake news. He wasn't a shop owner. He was just some random nut job incel who lived in the neighborhood and attacked protesters with a sword:

get your facts straight, this is a false headline

Black people being black people

🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾 TMZ

Still reporting fake news?

For chasing people with a sword...

Why're you continuing to report fake news? This person literally chased random people walking/biking by with a SWORD. Maybe he didn't deserve to be so viciously beaten, buuuuuuuut that was up to karma, not anyone else. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Allegedly?

The sword he had didn’t make it into the headline, huh?

And this is what they call protesting hurting another innocent victim

Just stop with these false headlines! It’s frustrating and unnecessary.

He was defending a store that wasn’t his and had a sword trying to get protestors and looters 🤷🏼‍♀️ not that what they did was ok but he was wrong and had a weapon and tried to use it so they look him down

He literally wanted to kill a kid with a fucking sword

Spreading misinformation

I was there he was drunk and defending a bar he frequent yelling the nword while waiving a sword around then we jumped his ass

Sad. Prayers for that man

Lies!!! This is what the media do make it seem like black ppl are randomly attacking white ppl for no reason.

We’ve been through this he chased a boy with a sword

Smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

Fake news see whole video first!

Dont condone the violence, but what did he expect was gonna happen? You are one guy rushing a mob.

It's so disgusting that person who owns buissness tries to save it from these street thugs gets attack

TMZ is just another arm of white supremacy.

Dam😳

He was violent from the premise

Wrong move, carrying a sword 😰😰😰

There's no way in hell y'all don't know the real story. Stay classy, TMZ.

BlackLivesMatter

Lookin ass

where are the protests for this poor man. Where are the cries to arrest those that did this to an innocent man

🙏 to this man’s family and friends...As a kid we used to be downtown Chicago watching Chinese movies and everybody doing karate outside.... Just to say I hope he wasn’t watching 300 doing this riot

Wtf is really going on

Dallas man viciously beaten by real life. Run around chasing people with swords during civil unrest, and you're dumbass is getting curb stumped. Its really that simple. Pull a weapon, you better be really good at using it. Looks like he wasn't

Way to fuck up the story w half ass news reporting. Change the title and update with correct information!

This is Terrible

After he chased people around with a machete that you can see in this pic

😣

Do what owners did in Philadelphia protected their business

So sad

Sub humans

George Floyd support aside, I vehemently want Justice, these atrocities have taken on a Political Means To An End and have NOTHING to do with Floyd!!! This is an “opportunity” by far Left Democrats to Perform, Campaign, fake, “the downtrodden”, by PAYING Protesters to be SAVAGE

A sword, not a gun? It’s fucking Texas!!

I love reading comments cuz tmz got the story all fucked up but I’m not surprised

He was walking with a sword 🗡 swinging it at people.

Fake this mf was attacking everyone with a knife!

This looks a little funny. Like Saturday night live or something.

suze612 Fuck that! If a person came at me w a weapon and I was able to defend myself I would.. not to the level ALLLLL those people did, that’s wrong. There is a difference between self defense and a mob attacking after he was disarmed

These people causing this destruction and rioting across the country are no better than the cops they’re “protesting“ against. They’re criminals and deserve to be in jail with these cops. Same people causing the problems are the same people complaining about problems. Hypocrites

Why haven't we seen this video on CNN or on the other liberal stations

There is cure for HSV and HIV,i was suffering frm it untill i met a Herbal Doctor that me within 2 weeks and u migght need his help too on Drizazaherbalcurehomegmail.com or whatsapp +2348103355314

Stop reporting this story until you are ready to tell the whole story! It’s spreading lies and lies only make the tension worse!

This makes me sick!!!

You are misreporting this story. For a organization that claims to be for BLM you are destroying our efforts

Slow2017Eco

Catwoman2011 Saw whole video, guy had a sword n decided to jump off his porch n swing..big mistake...

If you’re running around doing this you deserve no better than DerekChauvin IDGAF what’s happened to you. You are just as bad and will be dealt with likewise. Bring this shit round me and see what happens. BLACK_LIVES_MATTERS

lmao he charged them w a sword. what you think was gonna happen

TMZ is trash for trying to defend this guy

I saw a video sequence where this man was chasing & trying to kill people with a saber raised over his head. They were running for their lives. He was closing in on one person like he was going to cut him into two pieces. This is not 'defending your business.' 1/

This is the video of him chasing the protesters with a sword

Animals

This is NOT the true Protestors. These are people that are out to damage and now harm people. I don’t know how this will be controlled without innocent people getting murdered. That’s why we want the media to continue to inform the public as the President did today.

No tell the true story he chased people with a machete... now what did he think would happen. It was really 1 man chasing 10 ppl or more

Hospital stated it was a Covid-19 death.

Now where is this POOR MANS PROTEST FOR HIS INOCENT LIFE TKEN

He was chasing people with a machete would you expect anything differently to happen? Sad yes, but moral of the story is do not chase people with machetes. Items can be replaced lives cannot!!!

What is wrong with people. I know that a cop killed a black man who stole a $1 cigar. There was no cause for killing him. So many people are rioting and trying to raise Black Awareness and rioting against the cops. It’s crazy. Not even store owners can protect their stores. NF

He had a sword, what was he thinking?

No no. For chasing people with a sword. Add that to the damn headline

NOOOO FAKE NEWWWSSSSS HE CHASED A BLACK ON A SKATEBOARD WITH A SORD & IT WASNT EVEN HIS STOREE

Is he OK? Oh my word!

He looks like he’s playing twister

Wrong... it's been found since that he was not the owner of that business. This has been debunked.

There is video...who should people believe, you or our lying eyes! What ever happened to researching a story. This type of bullsh*t is problematic. Stop lying.

He was not defending a business. How can someone contact tmz for the full story!!!

Did he have a sword in his hand wtf was that?

CristinaAlessio

Women murdered by rubber bullet in San Diego! In news on this?

The one news outlet people actually trusted. I don’t trust y’all now

This is NOT true

he was chasing people with a sword...

I pray he heals...God bless him

After he

They was just teaching him karate

Mufucka laid out like somebody said Left Arm Red. 🤣🤣🤣 twisterchampion

Take this down you know you’re wrong. And you know your country doesn’t need more bullshit.

This is the kind of shit I'm talking about....shoot them mfs

Sethrogen SteveCarell JanelleMonae are you also going to help those that got the shit beat out of them for pltrying to protect thier stores/businesses? Probably NOT!!

Fake News. Do you verify any of your stories?

He shouldn’t even have been out there the streets are dangerous right now

Whoa get your shit straight tmz

😭😭😭 nigga gon be crippled for rest of his life tryna play hero u not Superman jit

TMZ REALLY YALL. Do better.

Seriously TMZ? Even you should do better! 🤨

He was attacking people with a sword, not defending any business. Fake news started by white supremacists to distract from police brutality.

This is disgraceful. Praying for the US today

Disappointing but not a surprising article written by shit reporters.

You might want to fact check that story....

People justifying Rioters like it's a good thing

Now that was racist. Racist against a human trying to protect his. They should find out who these people are and arrest them also. I'll help for free 😊

Are we protesting still or rioting now? It's changing so much lately.

Your fake reporting trying to stir anger is cancer

What a joke this world has gone nuts

Where is the police? These people should have been arrested!

Haters don’t Matter.

Wow

Common Texas, shoot these protesters down, Southern Pride Forever !!! Kill them all !!! texas dallas protests2020 Trump2020

What does this solve? This isn’t going to change anything. What type of change does looting cause?

I see people of color.

Actually for charging at people with a great big fucking sword.

Tmz try to spray some hate!

He should have shot them!!!

How about “Dallas Idiot Beaten For Wielding A Machete At A Protest”.

Irresponsible fake news reporting, as usual

This is out of control

Surprised we even saw this... probably many more regular people that don’t want their business fucked up were probably attacked

You already posted this!!! Are you trying to make things worse?

TYPICAL

defend yourself

y’all need to shut up n stop tweeting the same misleading shit every 2 hours

Its Racial beating.

1. The man was chasing people with a Sword 2. It was not his business 3. Stop creating a Bad picture for the protestors

He's white so it's okay. -Black people.

He had a machete and it wasnt even his business. He just liked going to the bar. What an idiot

Damn, literally not true. It wasn’t his business, he chased the people with a sword. TMZ missing hard with this one.

Matthew 5:29 & 30 change eye for business, and body for nation Philosophy still holds true

Still promoting bs huh ima unfollow ✊🏾

In stable condition thankfully and while he didn’t need to be hit multiple times, he did cause an issue with a crowd on his terms.

insert “it’s okay / not okay based on my political affiliation because I am controlled by the media and have lost any sense of humanity and Im basically a zombie” tweet here

He did not own any businesses!

lbonerandi

Folded his ass like a pretzel 💪🏾

why did he fall like a family guy character

HE WASNT DEFENDING HIS BUSINESS

he wasn’t defending his business. he was running around with a sword. even I did my research better than you smh
