    The ATF said that people at Waco and Ruby Ridge shot first too, turns out that was a lie.

    We shouldn’t believe a word they say about this case yet, wait for an investigation to take place. For some ungodly reason, they have a track record of fabricating gun charges against people, surrounding their home with armed men, and claiming they were shot at first when stories like this hit the news.

      That’s why I said as far as we know for now in multiple places. I am not saying I believe them either, quite the opposite actually. I don’t believe then but I wouldn’t disbelieve them and assume the victim is telling the truth. There are examples of both being wrong but some often make up their mind and blindly trust one party over other. You should always base it on the available information and change your opinion when something new comes to light.
