To me it has the feel of being pre planned [View all]

I believe a group of Proud Boys were given permission to make an example, especially to those photographing events.

Their actions escalated the violence at every turn - deliberately.

They had no reason to shoot once they had removed the gun.

The promise of qualified immunity pulled the trigger.

Alex was dead as soon as he first walked out on the street and the agents spotted him filming.

Agents fled the scene and no one knows who they are. How exceptionally convenient.
