Man who knelt said he 'had to do something' when he saw QAnon symbols in parade

When he saw a parade of Trump supporters, some in vehicles painted with QAnon symbols, coming down Poyntz Avenue last week, Josh Brewer said he felt he had to do something.

Brewer, of Manhattan, said he had just finished a bike ride with a friend Sunday afternoon and was sitting on the patio of a downtown brewery having a beer when he saw about 40 vehicles flying Trump flags approaching.

“The first thing I thought was just shock when I saw that parade coming down the street,” he said in a phone interview Saturday night. “This is not the sort of community I associate with those sort of beliefs. I was frightened. I was frightened to see that many vehicles.”

The lead vehicle had “WWG1WGA” on it. That stands for “Where we go one, we go all,” which is a common symbol of QAnon.

From honesty and integrity to living a lie...

The question in my mind, is how long will the

conspiracy media be allowed to push it? Inciting

a riot used to be a crime.?..

I so miss my SIL, and I miss my old brother. Q is an extremely dangerous cult.
