(WHAM) - Disturbing video recorded by a person in Rochester shows a group of people attacking a woman outside a business amid widespread looting and rioting in downtown Rochester Saturday evening. In the video, a woman pleads with the people smashing the exterior of Rochester Fire Equipment Company on Marshall Street to stop. The woman yelled at the group of people, who were apparently trying to loot the jewelry store next door. Several of the people then turn on the woman and begin attacking her, hitting and kicking her, and then used boards to hit her. The woman's husband runs in toward the end of the recording and tries to break up the attack while swinging a golf club. He was then attacked himself. An upstate New York woman who appeared to confront a mob of looters outside a store was beaten in a disturbing moment caught on video, according to a report, as the city of Rochester descended into violent looting and riots Saturday night following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The video, which has been shared online, shows the woman speaking to a group of at least six individuals -- some of whom were holding large planks of wood -- after one member threw a ladder at the door of a business. Joe Painter told WHAM-TV, of Rochester, he shot the video across the street from the Rochester Fire Equipment Company on Marshall Street in the city’s downtown. The video shows a member of the group suddenly punch the woman in the face, as another strikes her with a plank of wood. A man appears from the store and confronts the group with a golf club, but they temporarily beat him back with the wood and continue punching the woman. The man returns, screaming: “You get away from my wife!” Painter told the station it was one of the most “disturbing” things he’s ever seen. “I’m in the military, I’m in the Navy, I’ve been to Afghanistan and I’ve seen some crazy stuff, but this is one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever witnessed,” he said. He told the station that the woman was taken away in an ambulance. He said his recording ended abruptly because some of the attackers began to approach him. The woman and her husband live above the Rochester Fire Equipment Company, where the attack took place, according to the station. No further information was known about the couple or their injuries. The video is among the latest violence taking place in dozens of cities across the country, overshadowing the many peaceful protests calling for justice and change following the death of George Floyd, the Minneapolis man who died May 25 while in police custody. In Dallas, a man wielding a machete was brutally beaten on video by an angry mob Saturday night. Police told local news outlets that the man was carrying the machete to “allegedly protect his neighborhood from protesters.” The events in Rochester Saturday night led to 13 arrests and have prompted the city to call in 200 New York State troopers to maintain law and order Sunday night, the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle reported. A curfew remains in effect from 9 p.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday. The violent riots were sparked by anger over Floyd’s death in Minneapolis on Monday, which was captured on cellphone video. The four police officers who were arresting Floyd for suspicion of passing a counterfeit bill were fired Tuesday. Third-degree murder and manslaughter charges were filed Friday against the officer who used his knee to pin Floyd down, as Floyd pleaded for air.

Hubby came in late on the scene. That lady has spunk.
He needed more than a golf club to defend her from these poor disadvantaged youts. Too bad he didn't have a gun. I would have shot these thugs.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. I agree. Boards of wood are for carpenters.
Agree !!! After he is confident that her medical attention has been addressed, he should sell his damn golf clubs. Go buy two good shotguns, two good pistols, plenty of ammo, and appropriate holsters & ammo carriers. From then on, he & his wife should remain armed 24/7 !! Then the next time, blow those thugs away.

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
