Los Angeles was subjected to a fourth night of rioting, arson, and looting as violent demonstrators flooded the city. A number of professional, freelance, and citizen journalists took to the streets as well to document the night’s affairs and at least one streamer was assaulted for his trouble.

Kick streamer Conner boasts just over 14,000 followers and there were nearly 7,000 viewers watching live when he navigated from the scene of one recently looted store to the ongoing pillaging of a nearby jewelry store. Unfortunately for Conner, participants at this locale were not happy to be on camera and one of the rioters can be heard calling him a “rat” shortly before Conner says he was jumped. Then the stream cuts out.
Conner was later captured by fellow streamer AXN News who spotted the broadcaster making a report of the incident to the police he had retreated to.
“I just got jumped,” Conner explained to AXN News. “Yeah. I just ran to the f—ing cops bro. They were chasing me.”
Conner, who was pacing about looked agitated as he gestured towards one of his two phones which was smashed. “They jumped me, took this sh–, and f—ing threw it. They were chasing me down, bro. I’m getting the f— out of here,” he said.
When he was asked what caused the mob to turn on him, the streamer was brief:
He was caught filming.
Conner has been a frequent streamer over the past few days, getting to the front lines and capturing some of the more dangerous elements.
Just a few blocks from the scene of his assault, an Adidas and an Apple store were also looted by the hooded participants who swarmed from business to business as if locusts.
