I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Video suggests he at worst was trying to flee, and he says he was fleeing after they'd already started shooting. So far, they've been shown to have lied after nearly every one of these incidents.
