Andy Ngo is posting a screenshot of another guy saying that, so it's still hearsay (I know all about these things, because I used to watch a lot of Law and Order).

The interesting thing, though: The gun is in Grosskreutz's hand as he is running up. You can see it in the NYT breakdown, and the original video from @BGOnTheScene.

I don't know why some other angles look like he is empty handed, but he is not, when he does his "I surrender" act.

This brings me to a point. Grosskreutz "surrenders" by putting up his hands, appealing to the compassion of his enemy. Then, when he thinks he has an opportunity, he goes in for the kill (and gets shot).

If he truly thought his enemy was a bloodthirsty murderer, why would he give up at that point?

If he was truly facing a merciless fascist, why would he expect mercy?

Because he doesn't believe his enemy is heartless and evil. He is counting on a moment of mercy, so he can strike in retaliation.

I find this consistent with the methods leftists have been using in Western nations for decades. They make appeals to the compassion and mercy of the mostly decent people who comprise these nations, then exploit that compassion and mercy to achieve their goals, which work against those compassionate people. They are cynical, manipulative, and vile to the core.

I'm not saying Grosskreutz was thinking this through in this exact moment (he probably doesn't have an inner dialogue), but I think this is a sociopathic behavior that is intrinsic to leftist subversives.
