2 Shooting Victims Turned Gun Control Activists, 2 Lies, 2 Retreats.

Updated: May 20, 2020

This is Dr. Josef Sakran:



He is most famous for starting the #ThisIsOurLane movement, in which gun grabber docs from across the nation united to demand gun control. He is also the founder of Docs Demand Action and is a survivor of a shooting:

During the upcoming June 2018 meeting of the AMA House of Delegates, they will be voting on nearly a dozen gun reform and gun safety measures to endorse as an organization. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Joseph Sakran, the founder of Docs Demand Action and a physician who regularly speaks up for gun violence prevention after surviving a gun shot when he was 17 years old.

Last week, he was the “victim” of a threat:

A prominent trauma surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital who survived being shot as a teen and advocates nationally for gun violence prevention says he recently had a “death threat" placed on the windshield of his car.
Dr. Joseph Sakran posted images of the alleged threat — a sheet of paper featuring a hand pointing a gun straight ahead, with the message “The End is Near" beneath it — on Twitter late Saturday afternoon. It quickly gained notice and retweets within the gun-violence prevention community, including by Parkland, Florida, shooting survivor David Hogg.

Here‘s his tweet thread (now deleted):



Where was he when this “awful crime” happened?

In an interview with The Baltimore Sun, he said he believed the paper was placed on his car, parked near his parents’ home in Northern Virginia, sometime on or before Jan. 20 — which was the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and the same day as a gun rights rally in Richmond, the state’s capital.



Unless the perp got into his garage, this is busted as a hoax. Either way, he staged the scene and his initial claim is worthless. This brings us to our next recent case, Patrick Korellis:
