Where does Truth lie when the President sees only one side

[whitehall]

The real danger lies in the ignorant angry democrat base relying on second rate biased blogs and op-eds from unqualified jerks to second guess the agenda of the President of the United States.

 

[Kilroy2]

Then do you believe that a single citizen with a machete should attack a group of people?

Do you have video of that?

No but the guy has admitted his stupidity and says he was just trying to protect his favorite bar.

but maybe you will enjoy this one

Trump Boosts Video of Dallas Clash Edited to Cast Machete-Wielding Vigilante as Victim

A right-wing video blogger captured a shocking act of violence on camera, but posted a misleadingly edited version on Twitter that duped the president.

theintercept.com

Interesting story of a machete welding vigilante. Incident was recorded by at least two people. The one person edited the video to show what he wanted to show. A man beaten by protesters lying in the streets. Shown on Blaze TV and circulated in the right wing media.

The edited clip was the work of a freelance producer for Glenn Beck’s Blaze TV and a pro-Trump political activist who hosts a YouTube talk show dedicated to mocking left-wing protesters according to the story.

It was a half truth to support his view that the protesters are all bad people. A story that sounds to good to be true. The president who professes to be a law and order guy jumped on this bandwagon.

Yet another person who recorded the same attack show the full account of what happen. It was a different story. The man attacked them with a machete first. They defended themselves but now they are the bad guys. Maybe they got carried away in defending themselves?

Even the police agree that the Machete man instigated the attack.

Yet Trump was quick to view this right wing video and make his own comment to spread a totally biased story. It is funny the way the news is biased in his mind and he is quick to point that out. Yet he embellishes points of view, that he wants to believe as the Truth, with no attempt to find out what is the Truth. I will just take his word for it which is a matter of convenience for the law and order President.

Trump tells the nation that "innocent people have been savagely beaten, like the young man in Dallas, Texas, who was left dying on the street." There's quite a bit missing from that version of the story. Trump Boosts Video of Dallas Clash Edited to Cast Machete-Wielding Vigilante as Victim pic.twitter.com/xHjORjL4XT

Trump view is that this man was beaten by the protesters. End of story as show by the video. Simple enough for a simple mind. No understatement that the Truth is sometimes more complex that an edited video.

Still the blogger says that the man was left dying on the street to make it sound more dramatic. Yet the police came and he was transported to the hospital where he is recovering. Happy ending not mentioned.

The machete man will be a hero to some and to the law and order president, Yet people defended themselves but then again they were the protesters. Trump can't seem to handle the nuances of a good protester and those who are in it for the violence. He waffles between blaming the locals for allow this to happen and blaming anyone that needs to be blamed according to the Trump Doctrine.

The law and order president who only sees one side. Justice may be blind but Trump holds no pretenses, He is on one side and justice be damned. Truth is in the eye of the beholder but with Trump he is clearly truth challenged.

Remember, he only believes alternate-universe media, so he's going through his administration with only half of any story.

Worse, he's only getting half the story, and a distorted view of the other half. Just like his Trumpsters.

So none of his actions or behaviors can be a surprise.

You have that backwards. Everyone gets left wing news because all msm is left wing. Those who consult alternatives are the ones who get the full story.

Well that is what the post is about what really did happen, The video that went viral just show a portion of what happen. edited for graphic content by a Blaze contributor

The longer version of the video shows the moments before the attack. The man who is injured at the end begins by rushing towards the crowd with machete in hand. 

I have not seen the video but if he rushed the group with a machete in hand, he pretty much started it. A point that nobody wants to acknowledge. Only that the group beat him with various report saying he died and others making the claim that he was protecting the neighborhood.

If the guy had a gun and was shooting, then I am sure there are those who will say he was defending himself.

Still it is wrong to go thru his pockets if that actually happen.

If someone came at you with a machete, would you defend yourself? If he got hurt is it then your fault that he got hurt.

Witness have given statements that he attacked first. A skateboarder defended himself with his skateboard and was cut but was still able to knock the machete away. That is when others join in on the attacked.

Still the point was how this story gets twisted by the right and even Trump chimed in on this as the attacker was the innocent one.

The lies are spread for political purpose even by the President who does not even bother to check his facts before making his tweeter comments. The police will have to determine who will be charged and taken to jail.

Fact check: Dallas man attacked during protests did not die from his injuries 

A widely shared image on social media makes the claim that a Dallas man who attempted to “protect his business from looters” has died. The claim comes amid a wave of protests following the death of George Floyd, a black man, in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020. The claim is false...

I cannot view the video but supposedly this is a second video that show more of what happen that what was reported by a right wing blogger.

another source which repeats the same thing that the a Blaze editor edited the facts to show just what he wanted to show.

Did he attack someone with the machete before they attacked him?

No but the guy has admitted his stupidity and says he was just trying to protect his favorite bar.

The guy was beaten to Death by the protestors

So he could not have said anything about wanting to protect his favorite bar

Below is an updated story that quotes the police as the source. They do say that he threatened this one guy with a skateboard and the skateboarder fought back using his skateboard. The person has a minor cut but did manage to knock away the the machete. That when others joined in

the machete guy told police he does not want to pursue this matter further

further he admits that it was a stupid idea.

In a series of messages posted on Twitter, copied by BSO.com before Shoultz made his account private, he details the purported series of events that led to him suffering what turned out to be minor injuries.


Shoultz, at least, has a sense of humor when recounting the story.

Trump used this story in a speech which was fake news reported by the Blaze contributor and picked up by many right wing sites. It is a good example of fake news in the sense that the story was wrapped around talking points without really doing any research about what lead to the incident. The reporter who was there knew the whole story but intentional edited his video to show a man lying on the ground. End of story let the speculation begin. Stories were started that he was dead and other half truths.

You have that backwards. Everyone gets left wing news because all msm is left wing. Those who consult alternatives are the ones who get the full story.

It is clear that the right wing got this story wrong., As Fox and associates all reported the same thing and it is where Trump got the story and promptly tweeted about this poor guy and use him in one of his speeches. I have not looked at what MSM has said but I would guess that they did get it right.

Anyone can report the end or results of a situation. Still it takes good reporting to find out what cause it and what are the leading circumstances that led to the results. The Blaze contributor who feed this story and is a right wing guy was there and know what lead up to the situation. He purposely left it out. Then Trump picked up the ball and ran with it. In the end it was fake news created by the main perps of fake news.

 

[Mac-7]

really , he was beaten to death well here is an updated report from the police.

I do not trust the Democrat Morning News but I dont think they would about a death that didnt happen

so I will stop saying he was beaten to death

but looking at the video we do have I think the liberal protesters tried their best to kill him
