This guy's story was seriously questioned by a number of freepers within an hour or so of its publication, and completely dismissed by police within two days. He's just a random incompetent jerk.

You must mean the guy who was on Greta's show, I suppose it was Tuesday night. He just didn't seem right to me either; he didn't seem serious at all, and was grinning strangely, too much for seeing a brutal crime like that.

And his name wasn't broadcast, I noticed, in the crawl, at least I didn't spot it, but others had said that this area has many Iranians in it, which is what I was suspecting he was. He was the one who said it was a white guy shooting, IIRC.

The guy that was on Greta the other night is named Robert (I think) Massis. He never claimed to see a vehicle or a gun. All he said he heard was a gunshot and Mrs. Franklin on the ground and lots of screaming. He was on Fox yeterday, complete with haircut, shave aand polo shirt.

He was kind of strange and I was suspicious of him, too. But I'm wondering if the person they discredited is the one thst said he saw the shooter step out of the van, take the shot, get back in and drive away. I have not seen the name of this "witness" released.

I've met several Iranians, and they seem to have the "not serious" "grinning strangely" aspect to them. Could be genetic.
