SUPER IMPORTANT THREAD ON MACHETE ATTACK IN DALLAS 👇🏻

Whenever I expose violence at a protest

The very dishonest far left media tries to discredit me

Let me clear the record once and for all for the critics

theintercept.com/2020/05/31/tru…

This article among other publications

And blue check marks do whatever is in their power to exuse violence

And attack anyone who exposes illegal behavior

They prefer to push a dishonest “peaceful” narrative every time & are frustrated that some of us expose their lies

They claim we selectively edit, mislead the public etc

So let me say this

Those of us reporting in real time are doing the work these very weak ublikable “reporters” wish they could do

But won’t because they aren’t brave enough to do so

While we risk our lives to show the truth

They sit in their crappy New York and LA small box apartments the next day looking for any and every nuance they can use to discredit us

What losers

They dream of doing what we do, but barely succeed to attract a few readers

As for this specific case

Nothing I posted

Wrote

Or said was misleading in any way

The man who was attacked was accosted as he was defending a bar against looters

I never said he was a shop owner

Never denied he had a machete

Never denied he rushed rioters

These were not peaceful protestors

What these publications fail to mention

Is that they know in real time it’s hard to get all the facts perfect when you’re reporting in chaos

And that the man wasn’t just a crazy person

The rioters were insane too

Breaking windows and looting stores all around the area

I even admitted on air the guy rushing the rioters was a stupid idea and they purposely leave that out

Then they report the next day that I spread lies he died

No, I said the night of I heard he died but I don’t know

Then just like the journalists the next day slandering me

I also got more info on his condition from police and tweeted that he was okay and I wanted to get in contact with him

I provided the full video and nothing in the full video changes what I initially posted

The man was defending a shop

First person testimony agrees with my original statement

He wasn’t a crazy guy. He had a legitimate reason to protect a business from actual thugs

Nobody knows who accosted who first for sure not even with the extra videos

But before the man rushed the protestors people were throwing rocks at him and bricks

That’s a huge reason I edited the video

My videos actually didn’t show the whole story of people stoning him initially

So I showed what happened, made a report, and put context in text

Damn I hate these “violence supporting” lefties who can’t seem to handle anyone else succeeding and capturing important footage the could only hope and dream to capture while they complain about content other people recorded

Keep slandering me.

Your lies only embolden me
