Mac you need to take the remedial training class in pushing Russian propaganda. Your twitter post is from some random person Andreas Haas who supposedly lives in Germany. His twitter account has 336 followers, about that of a typical high school student.

Haas, who says he is a software developer, takes the CBS news video of one of the victims and combines it with an unrelated statement from a Ukrainian mayor to conclude that everyone else is wrong and he knows that it was a Ukrainian checkpoint not a Russian checkpoint.

That's not "debunking" anything, and you calling every Ukrainian a "nazi" shows that you aren't even close to neutral, or looking at the situation objectively.

Just remember, Putin can't pay you in anything but rubles.

Forget Haas (she's just the messenger) and listen to the account from Juan Arredondo the American photo journalist who was sitting next to Renaud when he got shot. He states they were trying to get over a bridge to interview refugees, and got shot at going past a local checkpoint, and shot again when they turned around. Its compelling first hand testimony.

First, no Russians were in the vicinity of the bridge or the refugees the journalists claim they were trying to get to when they were shot. There was no fighting in the area, and no firefight after Renaud got shot. There is video of Renaud being slowly evacuated on a stretcher and other eyewitness accounts of the shooting that confirm this. Haas didn't include these videos in her thread but they exist and I've seen them.

Second, anyone whose been paying attention knows there are roving gangs of armed locals setting up “checkpoints” looking for “saboteurs” in and around Kiev. There have been numerous shooting incidents taking place ever since Zelenski handed out AK47s to the public and emptied the city jails. The notion that some armed group fired on a car they didn't recognize is not far fetched.

Look, I know critical objective thinking is hard for someone who is used to imbibing/regurgitating whatever talking points Fox News feeds you...but ffs moron, give it a try.
