A man showed up with a bow-and-arrow in the middle of a Salt Lake City protest, but the protesters surrounded and took him down, jumping on his car and, by some accounts, setting it on fire, according to viral videos of the incident.
The videos show the man pointing a bow-and-arrow at protesters, who then surround and jump on him. One man comes at the guy with a skateboard. People also throw things at him. According to KSTU-TV, the man claimed his name was Brandon McCormick and said he pulled up on scene to help officers because he had weapons. He gave an interview blooded and bruised. However, the TV station reported that citizen videos, which you can watch below, instead show him randomly pointing the bow-and-arrow at people.

Unless he has the skill to reload quickly, he should have known he would be toast as soon as he fired his first arrow.
Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids...

He's not what he should be.

Who knows what that car could have become had they not destroyed it?
Obviously, the guy was some kind of superhero with a bow...

and I daresay there would be more justice than George Floyd ever saw.

(5,645 posts)11. Yes, he could have been killed.
He stepped into a hornets nest and thought there would be no retaliation.
I am glad he did not get killed.
He may have been a plant as well, he sure had the IQ of one...
