This is the 2nd one. The only reason we're even hearing about this is because he had to foresight to live stream it and also an independent journalist was there with a camera
I had to go looking. Wasn’t DC, was Atlanta. December 1.

Maybe this is why I'm not seeing it, it was a few months ago.

I was investigating the “second time” comment. Yes, the most recent event was in DC. The first event was in Atlanta.
He’s died now.
