So Kels, before we get to the astonishingly egregious sham trial and sentencing, could you clear up some of the fog of confusion and propaganda that folks may have been wading through about what really happened on July 4th last year that precipitated where we are today?
9:37
Yeah.

So obviously, I wasn't there, and everyone, even the people who were there, were largely kind of dispersed, so not everyone can give the same account of everything.

But from what we've kind of pieced together is it was a peaceful noise demonstration.
9:59
A couple people felt the need to carry rifles.
10:04
That's fine.
10:05
It's Texas.
14:09
But Kels, could you just give us an idea of, like, what kind of courtroom were these defendants walking into?
