> she believed that Woodruff was going to harm her with the machete <
It wouldn’t take much to harden a clerk’s station against attack. And it can be done in a way that’s unobtrusive. Given all that’s going on these days, I don’t know why it’s not done everywhere.
Side story: I sometimes stop at a convenience store that’s in a rather sketchy area. The clerk stands behind a simple counter. If I was so inclined, I could just take two steps, then attack her. But a simple door between her station and the rest of the store would prevent it.

Hey, dude, here’s the thing. When you get crazy tattoos on your neck, you are screaming for people to look at you. When they do look at you, you suggest he attention is unwelcome, so why did you get crazy tattoos in the first place? Did you just want something to complain about?
Same thing goes for when you carry a machete. Stop carrying a machete into a store, and maybe people won’t call the cops on you.

Attu Island Alaska is an uninhabited island 1500 miles from the Alaskan mainland. It is the western most part of the United States. This guy, and all his fellow travelers need to be committed to Attu Island. All the weirdos, drug addicts, homeless, and street people all over the United States need to be gathered up and relocated to Attu Island. The government can provide food and rudimentary shelter. It is not ice covered.

So the guy never actually touched or threatened anyone? He just hurt several Karens’s feelings? And now he’s facing prison?

Brandishing a weapon (”waving it around”) is legally a threat.

Ok, I guess so. Or “going armed to the terror of the public”.
If I were CCW at the time, I’d certainly be checking my field of fire, if he approached me waving a machete.

I used to keep a machete in my truck because you just never know when one could come in handy.

I keep a gun in the truck now because times have changed.

Just had a cashier at a Dollar General, in Ohio, murdered by a negro with a machete, last month.
Beautiful White girl who just got married.
Waving a weapon around is a threat, implied or otherwise.

Oh jeeze. Another looney Ocala guy. There is no shortage of them here, that’s for sure.

Second perp to bring a machete into a dollar store.
Remember, the last one killed a young, newlywed store clerk.
