The complete, un-edited testimony of Neil Heslin [View all]

directly from the CT Legislative buildings cameras. During the nearly 16 minutes of testimony, no one interrupted him until the second time he asked the crowd for an answer to his question. That part of the testimony starts at 13:30.

Feel free to hate gun owners that were present yesterday, but make sure you hate them for what REALLY happened and not what some edited clip makes you think happened.

And Yes I was there from 10:15 in the morning until about 5:00 when I left. Apparently some on DU think I am trying to hide something.

Saying that I thought he "was asking for it" is putting words in my mouth. Lurks Often Jan 2013 #29
