A Salt Lake City man who shouted all lives matter was beaten and his car was torched after he took out a compound bow and aimed it at demonstrators protesting the death of George Floyd on Saturday. Video on social media shows Brandon McCormick climb out of his car at an intersection in the Utahn capital with the weapon, which he then aimed at several protesters. A few moments later, a mob surrounds McCormick and starts beating him up. They flipped over McCormicks car and set it on fire.

Holy cow.
50 cal. at 1300 rounds a minute and hardly any recoil.
I want one.
How about an actual semi-auto Kalashnikov 12 gauge shotgun? Most of your sight lines in a city are going to be well within the capabilities of a 12 gauge and 20+ rounds of "go away" will do wondrous things to assailants.
Brought the wrong weapon - but there are a lot of liberal types that thought as this guy did, that a bow and arrow would work just as well in a defense situation so why do we need those icky guns?
They are, of course, horribly wrong.
All of this has to stop. Where are the authorities?
****************
Just like when your girlfriend disappears when she feel unappreciated, the cops have disappeared to show you what it is like without them. Childish bullcrap on their part. They seem to be letting it happen.
I think it was the only weapon he had in his car...
I hope he at least “loaded” it with an arrow. Aiming a bow is pointless.
“Drive up to a mob, yell something meant to insult them, point an inadequate weapon at them...
What was he thinking?
“
First: All races have the right to free speech, not so if you are white.
Second: If you show a weapon be prepare to use it.
Third: if facing a large angry democrat crowds bring better weapons
Forth: Had no retreat plan in case everything goes bad
Fifth: Not having backup to cover you back
What an idiot, he is lucky these are some gentle protesters — if that fat slob pointed a weapon at me, he would not be giving interviews anymore.
Wonder if his car insurance will pay off?
We have a good amount of these angry old self-righteous, shoulder chip bearing, moronic white guys here in Colorado. They’re hobby is road rage and they don’t care about anyone but themselves. They try to intimidate with glares but will be the first ones to break eye contact when glared back at; they are cowards at heart. Looks like this dork actually got a shot off, but hard to see cuz it’s crap video shot by some monkey. Hope this guy is less arrogant now and just stays off the streets.
Yeah, when this guy gets back to California or wherever — by Bus — hopefully, he should be a little wiser for the wear.
It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but an ass-kicking is always instructive.
Maybe not wrong, just not up to speed with the latest tech:
Note: advance the tape to about 6 minutes in if pressed for time. Also, this guy has been working on this idea for some time and has other prototypes/videos.
Even that thing is not a good melee weapon, and he attempted to engage personnel at melee range.
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
Mother of melee tools...All steel framing hammers, 22-30oz, 16” long....spare mags not needed...sure to leave a lasting impression...highly endorsed by Charles, The Hammer, Martel.
Defeated by Lance. Holding a lance. :P
Also pikes, spears and any other polearm. :P
Check out a slate roofing hammer, the shaft above the handle is flat and sharpened, the back end of the hammer head tapers to a long sharp spike.
Yup...forgot about thosee.;>)
I always though a 12 ga pump shotgun filled with these would be excellent for crowd control. (starts at 4:45)
especially at night (starts at 2:00)
