  I suppose I have an advantage over you because I never believed anything 
the Democrats or the mainstream media had to say about the event. They 
both hit the ground lying and never stopped. They create some false 
narrative and they repeat it and repeat it with no regard for facts or 
truth.

  Here`s a small example...

  He wasn`t killed at the riot. He texted his brother that the only thing 
that happened to him was that he was hit by some bear spray. He went back 
to the precinct and had a heart attack.
