"Shots Fired" (UPDATED)

from Ex Marks the Rot · host Exulansic

Update: Here’s a description of the assault. Beth Bourne can be heard calling 911 to request police help to chaperone the event given the behavior of these “protestors.”I am now winding down from the event in Davis, California today. In watching this video back, I can hear the fear and adrenaline in my own voice. So I just want to highlight a couple clips. The context for the main video is that police had already been called due to one of them allegedly battering two of the organizers (I did not see it but I heard part of it and saw the aftermath, and I fully believe it happened and that one of them probably has the video, but I have yet to see it). The police had arrived, told them to stop blocking the entrance, did not tell them to leave the premises, and then the police left. The police for some reason did not make them leave despite their clearly non-protected intentions and actions, and the fact that they were an organization conspiring to do illegal things for illegal reasons.They/them were permitted to continue to loiter in front of the accessible entrance and harass members of the public they viewed as being politically objectionable. They accused me of being a “transphobe,” which is not a slur that makes sense in the context of a detransitioner who has no ill-regard for trans people as a class and previously counted myself among them. They/them then made references to a fight and responded to something I said with “shots fired,” a deniable way to bring up the subtext and intimidation factor of the entire context of the exchange, which is the Annunciation church shooting.It has been only 3 days since the latest trans terrorist, Robert “Robin” Westman, shot up a church by firing through the stained glass windows into a crowd of kids. The implicit threat was on the back of everyone's mind the entire time they were “exercising their rights” to engage in their hate-motivated stalking behavior. I'm just glad they did leave in the end, and no one was seriously injured this time. I believe the body cams helped because there's nothing that darkness fears more than the light. Subsequently, the female TRA stated that I did not know what I was talking about regarding Robert Westman, as though she had some insider knowledge of Robert’s motivations. That, or I am somehow supposed to be certain that all the violent men faking a trans identity to put everyone’s minds at ease about their intentions have now come out, and so all the remaining trans-identified men are true trans, and therefore safe, forever and ever, amen.Near the end, I decided to test the cognitive abilities of the one obsessed with filming back. I clipped my camera to the curtain and walked away, as confirmed by multiple livestreams. She continued to film the abandoned camera for nearly a full minute. Make of that what you will. But I appreciated the comic relief. More comic relief: This is a public episode.
