That’s what he said to the crowd.
He kicked two people's butts while keeping his Subway sandwich intact? Do you realize how comical that assertion is?

Good for him!
Some of what he said was drowned out by the crowd. When in the video does he say he didn't have broken/injured ribs and he kicked the attackers behinds ?

This is sounding more like BS every passing day.

And IMO, the attacker used the slurs and MAGA as a way to deflect from the real reason for the attack, as an attempt to not get caught(rather than yell: 'you stole my boyfriend').

But I believe the victim has no clue who/why this attack occurred and is reporting what occurred. I also think the person that wrote the letter is associated with the attack.

Just my guess though.

I could see this being plausible. But, how does the threatening hate mail factor in? Conceivably they would have also sent those as well? This would have been a multi-day planned in advance attack, not a spur of the moment crime of passion.

"He also clarified while on stage on Saturday that his ribs were bruised during the attack but not cracked, and that he had been medically cleared to perform."

This is also consistent with what the police said they had no reports of broken ribbs.

The broken ribs report seems to be from TMZ..which is garbage and shouldn't be trusted.

I did think the same thing until the timeline of the videos showed him out of camera range for only one minute and then walked away with his rope and sandwich. There is no way this entire thing he claimed happened only took a few seconds. The dude lied, probably to generate ticket sales for this concert.

Yes. For example, a spurned ex that lost his boyfriend to the victim, stewing about it and planning it out for several weeks. Wanting to rough him up and scare him for revenge.
