You do realize your sources could also be extremely biased, making their opinion worthless right?
I do. I initially doubted them and probed them for more information. Once I saw this video I immediately reached out to them again and they stuck by their initial statement.
If they are lying to me, then that is a friendship ruined. I do not think that is their goal in this case.
Even if that isn't their goal, they may just be having trouble actually accepting what happened. If they are friends with Jesse, I doubt they want to believe he's a ruthless brute who beat a guy into a coma for just being asked to leave a spot.
At the end of the day, this guy has life-altering injuries. Whatever mistake he made, nothing should lead to that result for asking trespassers to leave. At first, he just appears to be moving the guardrails, and they keep moving them away. I wouldn't be surprised if he's encountered them a shitload of times over 10 years working there, and them hassling to stay skating the spot isn't a regular occurrence. Hell, we have a clip of a GX1000 skater skating into a fucking security guard there because they wouldn't move off the stairs. Even if what they did was accidental, they still left a dude to basically die there if no one else intervened.
