https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/1298841139810893824Some twitter analysis found who fired the first shot, and it was not the hispanic teen, it appears to have been fired upwards into the air by someone standing about 30-50 feet away on the street just as the teen ran past them, it doesn't look like it was aimed at anyone, although its pretty hard to judge ballistic trajectory based on a muzzle flash in a grainy video. But you can clearly see the muzzle flash from someone synced up exactly as the first gunshot rings out.
So someone shoots a pistol into the air behind the teen, who turns around to see whos shooting as he raises his rifle. And he sees a guy chasing him and about to clobber him, and opens fire.
I think internet detectives have cracked this case
Also, there was a TON of extra gunfire ringing out afterwards, 3 shots fired from unknown source after the teen shot the first guy and was on his phone, 8 shots fired in the distance during the 2nd chase, 8 more shots fired closer just after that
so basically the theory is that Kyle is the Lee Harvey Oswald of this situation.
He's the perfect fall guy. Almost too perfect. Young, uneducated, white, wanna-be-cop who has been seen on video in the front row of a Trump rally. There is almost no one that can consider Kyle to be a member of "their group". Just like Americans saw LHO as an "outsider" because of his time spent in Russia.
The cops want to maintain order, but they know that if they start shooting then it will only stir things up more. So the perfect solution is to have this "outsider" fire the first shot. Someone they can later distance themselves from.
I bet while he's in jail, the cops are buttering him up. They are telling him "you did what we all wanted to do" and "you sent a message that will discourage future rioters". But they will scapegoat him as hard as they can when it all goes public.
