School Shooting Witness’s Story Is A Hoax, Major Media Outlets Conned
Hot Air ^ | July 1, 2019 | KAREN TOWNSEND

The man calling himself David Briscoe appeared in Time as a substitute teacher seemingly in the wrong place at the wrong time; CNN described his heroism as he ordered his students to “get down” and kept them protected until police came; The Wall Street Journal relayed the blood-curdling screams he heard from students in the hallway.” witnessing the carnage in Santa Fe High School as the students and teachers came under attack.

The problem with his story is that he wasn’t a teacher at the school and he was never a resident of Texas. There is no record of his employment with the Santa Fe Independent School District. The district is confident that no one by that name was on campus that day. A lieutenant for the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office, James Roy, said that Briscoe’s accounting of his location is off, too. (Texas Tribune) The shootings occurred in the art department section, not the wing where English classes are taught.

According to public records, Briscoe’s home address was a Florida address at the time of the shootings. There is no record of his alleged residence in Texas. After being contacted by the Texas Tribune with their findings, all four media outlets that quoted Briscoe in their stories removed any reference to him.

What a shame that the survivors have to be re-victimized by fraudulent stories from phony heroes. This could have all been avoided if the first wave of stories published had done some basic fact-checking instead of racing to break the story.

I believe this guy’s claimed actions were also used to damn other people who didn’t take action in other situations.

I hope the roast this guy on a skewer.

Sounds like he was trying to be the new David Hogg.

“re-victimized?”


America the puerile, beset
by bullies and triggers.

Unlike today in Florida, where the Parkland school building where the massacre of 17 students occurred will be demolished, the consolidated school in Bath, Michigan, where 44 students were killed in a 1927 bombing. was repaired, and the kids went back to classes there.

___________________________________

The shame is not on the phony heroes. they have always been with us. Jesse Smollett, The Ford lady with the Kavanagh hearing, The Duke Lacrosse Team accuser, etc They are everywhere all of the time.

The problem is the idiotic press/media that will publish anything so long as the story meets their political agenda, i.e., liberal, progressive, anti Trump.

So again we have the FAKE NEWS going off after a story that is as phony as they come. Lies, Liars, and Liberals.

Bravo!! You got it. If it’s a slow day they can always retract their lies on the last page of their rag or in fast moving credits on TV. And as they sight the first amendment to get out of jail free for their lies they forget the eighth commandment used by the Roman Catholics and the Lutherans: “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” My how soon they forget.
