that prove conclusively that Alex Pretti was disarmed, never drew, he was tear gassed and swarmed by multiple "agents" one of whom shot him, I would say at least 5 times.

what they're saying is pure propaganda and they're banking on the cult who won't look anywhere else to get information to believe it. NONE of what they say is true or offered in good faith. Pure, predictable, propaganda.

Can't wait to hear how Leavitt with pain this one.
