Why don't you two go back and read the thread from the beginning (or at least look at the pictures) before making any more stoopid comments.
This does not state he even got a step in that direction.
Any assertion that the statement was false would have to come from a mind reader or someone speculating. The burden of proof remains with the accuser, and cannot be met from the statement presented.
Did the video show any shots being fired?
No. They stopped it before that.

Yeah, well, beware the strawman, shifting contention, and other assorted dishonesty in argument.
In the examining trial, prosecutor Jarrett asserted that Bergman was lying when he said (the statement in bold):
Nevertheless, my wife had to go out of town and it was a beautiful day so, at the last minute, I decided to ride my motorcycle down to the COC meeting without about four other club members. What is also funny is that I thought the meeting was at the Texas Roadhouse and did not realize it was not until we passed it by.
Witherspoon's tweet said:
Jarrett said Bergman's statement that he arrived with a "few of his friends" is an "outright lie" based on the video evidence.Now, "arrived with a few of his friends" is NOT what Bergman said. Bergman said he decided to ride with about four club members. When going to a gathering, the number of people that one is "riding with" is apt to change through the course of the ride.
At any rate, pointed out for the purpose of airing that there is an accusation by the state that Bergman lied in his statement. Witherspoon did not report that the state accused Bergman of lying in the part of his statement that reads, "I decided to use the restroom at the Don Carlos restaurant. Just as I started toward Don Carlos ..."
