No kidding. They always escalate these types of sham stories here in Tucson. The idiot La Razan in CD7 had “anthrax” mailed to him when it looked like he was going to lose. And some windows broken in CD7 and 8, no arrests or witnesses.

He was probably reaching for his bottle of water.

The Aluminati have it all planned out.

A water bottle filled with Coors Light was found in his backpack.

LOL! I knew it would be a water bottle. Dumba**e*!! I wonder how they knew 'the brand'. Just a nice touch to end the drama story, I guess.

That's what he wants you to think! In fact, he can't see without his mask, too!
