A chaotic scene out of downtown Lexington is blowing up online, but at this point, the argument is less about what happened and more about what happened before the camera captured it. The debate has quickly shifted away from the moment itself and toward the missing context people believe they are not seeing.
Several media outlets have shared clips of the incident, but online reaction suggests many viewers feel key moments leading up to when the vehicle allegedly drove through a crowd are not being shown. That perception is now driving much of the conversation across social media.
One version of the video shared by David Harris Jr. on Facebook has drawn thousands of comments. Much of that discussion centers on what may have happened prior to the moment captured in widely circulated clips.
