Raging mob of protesters violently attack, threaten to kill man until he pulls out his gun
More details about this story from yesterday and the day before. |
[BIZPACREVIEW] As seen in a viral video, a man is beating a hasty retreat from a left-wing protest at a monument of conquistador Juan de Oñate — the mob was calling for the statue to be removed, and began to take matters into their own hands with a pickax, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
This being a fair representation of the left-wing chaos in American streets today.
Members of the armed New Mexico Civil Guard, a civilian group, tried to protect the monument, intervening when the pickax was deployed, the newspaper reported — why local police were not involved is another question.
The man was reportedly among those trying to protect the statue, though its not clear if he is a member of the group.
There is absolute pandemonium in the street, as young protesters scream and try to pull the statue down. The man, later identified as 31-year-old Stephen Ray Baca, can be seen getting struck by a skateboard and retreating into the street.
The mob pursued Baca, who appears to be holding a handgun, as he steadily retreats backwards, facing his assailants.
After creating a little distance between the mob, Bacca turns and continues to move away. He’s clearly leaving the area, but when Bacca turned his back on the mob, they pounced.
He’s attacked and thrown to the ground as three or four thugs engage — according to the Journal, the man initially tried to keep the mob at bay with a can of pepper spray.
"We’re going to f**king kill you!" someone is heard screaming.

Seconds later shots ring out and the mob scampers away, leaving one maimed man behind.
The civilian guard is then seen securing a perimeter around the man who fired his weapon, as they awaited police to arrive.
