>history will not remember who fired the first shot
Eh… moar likely they'll just ascribe it to the wrong person.
E.g. Remember when multiple lone gunmen (kek wtf) shot and killed 23 people at a Walmart in El Paso TX on Aug 3 2019 and then 8chan got shut down the next day while their patsy Patrick Crusius is currently serving 90 consecutive life sentences for a crime he was framed over
