It's so odd to see the efforts being made by multiple sources to "debunk" the shooting, and cast it as a fake of some kind. Many of the claims in that article are blatantly false, as anyone who's watched the video would know. What is this about? Who's behind all these videos and articles trying to convince people the shooting was fake?

Hmmm. 🤔

yes, good point, but what do you think about his points and the video with the disappearing brass cartridges?

False and disingenuous. The cartridges don't disappear on a good monitor. Blood is seen. Bodies jerk, and/or eject parts when shot. It's not caught on his camera, but he drops that magazine (and probably kicks it) as he turns from shooting into that room on the right, to go up the hall. All the "debunking" points fail.

Just saw a new one on a video this afternoon. Guy agrees everything was real, but cites various appearances of RED in the video as proof the shooter was surrounded by handlers the whole time. Anyway, have read hours of these arguments, often supported by screen caps or real life pics of the mosque. My contention is that it was entirely real - people were shot and died - but there's not enough data to say whether or not "handlers" were involved.

I have the shooting video 11 tabs to the right, but am guessing it would be too hot to handle for this site.
