It's crazy how many competing stories there are about this guy. There is a twitter account cited in the article(the account has since gone private) of a man claiming to be the guy in the video. Seems pretty credible, I don't know 100% though. If we are to believe the source, this was a guy who lives nearby and was concerned about the advancing protesters/rioters/looters and the damage they'd already done. He said he wanted to proactively protect his "favorite bar" which I'm guessing is the House of Blues mentioned in other articles. He seems to view his actions as a sort of preemptive strike to protects his neighborhood. He unsurprisingly says he now regrets doing what he did.

Totally fucked and inexcusable. I can't help but find myself slightly disappointed in the bystanders though. Their reaction was totally understandable and justified. I just hope that if I find myself in a similar situation I can take a hostage negotiator type mentality and hold off saying anything potentially antagonizing until after the person is safe. The things they were saying just seemed to motivate this sick son a bitch to keep at it.
