This clip clearly shows one man yell “kill him” as a group of right-wing Columbus statue protesters charge our reporter and beat him.

We will release footage soon showing repeated violent threats made towards reporters and anti-racist protesters in Marconi Plaza -we lost count.
Context: Last night (Sat June 13) we went to check our reports of armed vigilantes at the Christopher Columbus statue in Marconi Plaza. We were attacked as soon as we began filming, then police threatened us with arrest for inciting a riot.

Our report: unicornriot.ninja/2020/philadelp…
Thread of real-time video updates from the scene as it happened (Saturday June 13, Marconi Plaza, South Philly):

Then again, tonight (Sunday June 14) it all happened again, but with a much larger, more emboldened and violent crowd.

Tweet below starts the thread of our media from Marconi Plaza on June 14 has been posted thus far:

We lost track of how many times we were assaulted in/around Marconi Plaza by vigilantes tonight.

When cops did step in, they made it clear they saw us as the problem and repeatedly tried to make us leave (which would obviously negate our ability to document vigilante activity)
