There have been a lot of videos of all kinds of action at the riots across the country.

But one of the more striking videos showed just how out-of-control things could get in a hurry. But for the quick action of a well-trained private security guard, there might be a lot of dead folks in Seattle.

Seattle was already a cesspool of radical leftist riot action even before all the current Antifa actions.

But media was covering the riot there and reporting how the rioters had broken into police cars, then set them ablaze. ACAB was sprayed on one of the cars, it means “all cops are bastards” and is a common Antifa/radical left expression. Suddenly, one of the rioters brandished an AR-15 taken from the police car and what happened next was very quick.

The man who responded quickly and professionally to immediately take the gun out of the kid’s hands before he accidentally or otherwise shot someone turned out to be a private security guard for the local media folks who were covering the riot.

As I explained on air, our security guard felt that the public was in danger. He took the AR 15 from the rioter and disabled it. We called 911 and waited to hand it over and continue our reporting. Protesters surrounded us, calling us police. (1/2) https://t.co/q9jypdxfco

Thank God for the quick movement of this guy. Turns out there’s a reason he was so quick, he was a Marine. He later corrected what she says about “special forces.”

1) Our guard is former special forces. He is not a police officer.
2) He acted on his own, after getting our crew to safety around a building.
3) We watched the first AR-15 be pulled from a cruiser, then ran along with many others as the protester fired it into the cruiser.

This could have been a tragedy.

We have video of them firing one of them and were there when it happened. Witnessed it all. They shouted for people to “clear the block” then fired and everyone ran. #Q13FOX https://t.co/bz42bbxowA pic.twitter.com/krHGrekZFk

6) As we waited for police to get to us we saw another wave of protesters run in panic from the same area the first gun was taken.

7) Our guard directed us to stay put and that’s when he took the second AR, as was seen in this @KOMO live stream: https://t.co/3mapt7F0lX

8) @SeattlePD was dealing with a lot of incoming information and was mistaken when it said one AR was still outstanding. Both were handed over.
9) SPD was also mistaken when it said there were no reports of an AR being fired. I told 911 one had been fired.
10) SPD corrected both

And for the record, our guard is mortified he’s all over social media. Does not want any attention or kudos whatsoever! He really thinks what he did was no big deal. I’m like 👀👀👀.

Now that’s a real hero.
