I really don’t want to post this and my heart is in knots. I know very little about what unfolded at this point but it’s clear that Wisconsin devolved into complete insanity last night.

Warning Extremely Graphic Video - multiple shootings, multiple victims

Here’s a Twitter thread that captures some of the events as they unfold

After most of the day disconnected from this mess, I spend a little time late this afternoon to see what others have pieced together. It is still early but it is generally consistent with what I initially suspected. Here's the best to sources that show the full incident:

Warning Very Graphic Shooting (links below)

Brief interviews of shooter before the incident:

The video below appears to be the first shooting victim verbally harassing the men with long riffles. Look for the guy in the red shirt with black pocket yelling "shoot me _____". I have not been able to find video of what happened between this first verbal incident and what prompted the guy in the red shirt to chase the shooter. This tweet thread also has some additional information in subsequent tweets.

This composite video complied from multiple angles shows the initial shots fired by the shooter:

This video is the most complete single video of the first shooting and shows a little breif view the start of the altercation. (start watching at 3:59)

The following video shows the shooter running away. He is pursued and attacked by several by standards. He responds with shots and then tries to approach the police to turn himself in (there's another video of him trying to turn himself in to authorities)

Some initial analysis from a former federal prosecutor. He makes a well reasoned legal argument

A couple of closing thoughts. It is still way to early to fully understand everything that transpired. I hope the information helps you better digest the media narrative that begins to grow out of this tragic event. Pay attention to how people choose to characterize the event... mainstream media, alternative media, republicans, democrats, BLM, antifa, your friends, family and others. They will all have their own favored narrative that does not completely represent the facts and is often composed of half truths. People will either choose to blame the shooter and label him with something convenient that helps to bolster their position or political view or they will do the same with the people that were wounded or fatally shoot. From what I've seen so far, it appears the shooter was a naive 17 year old, that thought he was helping the situation by defending someone's business. The first victim appears to be an instigator that was far from an innocent and peaceful BLM protestor. The scene of the second shooting appears to be by standards that may or may not have seen the initial shooting but thought it was a good idea to try and chase/apprehend someone running with a long gun.

None of this makes any of this easier to digest but pay attention to the narrative that develops from all sides. Don't buy the narrative. Look for direct evidence that helps to illuminate the events that unfolded. Ultimately make up your own mind and don't let the prevailing narrative influence you without seeing first hand evidence.
