now they have footage of homie before and after the attack with the suspects across the street from him


so, considering the FBI seems to be taking this seriously and the disinformation campaign to discredit this thing like he was just beat up in a gay club; it looks like this shit happened as reported and actually does fit perfectly in our current surreal reality where we've seen more than enough MAGA people kill/run people over and send bombs out but everyone is still like "this shit don't sound real" for some dumb reason.
