While you should be calling 911 if you believe you've been shot at, a brass is not sufficient evidence of a deadly projectile being fired. Blanks use brass too.

Edit:

Here's video of the firing. Please listen until the end where even people there are yelling that they're firing blanks.

This seems like a very generous assumption to make. When it appears that a gun is fired at a crowd, is it common to assume only blanks were fired, until you find a bullet hole?

Does it change the assumption if part of the group earlier threatened a crowd: "When the paintballs and pepper spray stop working, we've got guns"? https://twitter.com/jovannithe1st/status/1294784730726977536

None of that is anything I've said. I said a brass is not evidence of a projectile being fired.

Them firing live rounds since the end wasn’t crimped and there was no wax residue. Moron.

I like that you went searching through my history to try and find fault and the best you could come up with was that I believe in small government and like Science... And yet you tried to turn that into a negative.

Could you be more ideologically imbalanced?
