MSM said he made the battle up. Ted Gunderson said it was real. This is the first time I have heard of a vigilante who fought pizzagate.

"Anyway, enough about that. Here are the basic details of what apparently happened. John "Homer" Van Meter, a self employed logger from Wisconsin, was driving back from a conference in Sonoma County California (in fall 2004) and happened to notice a convoy of cars driving into the woods. He went to investigate and saw something very disturbing taking place.

Van Meter confronted a group of people in the wooded area that were performing some kind of sick satanic ritual on a kidnapped women. He successfully saved the women from her terrible ordeal but was shot several times in the process. Shooting back at his attackers, he apparently shot and killed a number of them, and wounded a few others. When he reported the incident to the Police it went nowhere, and ultimately ended with HIM being charged for filing a false Police report. How do they explain the gunshots Van Meter received? They said he shot himself.

Around 1 and a half years later, Van Meter claims some of the men he wounded in the 2004 incident found out his identity and came back for revenge. A shoot-out ensued, and while John managed to shoot some of his attackers, he himself was shot 5 times. Where this incident took place is a very rural area, so he was lucky to be saved by someone who just happened to be driving by. Again, John "Homer" Van Meter reported this incident to the Police, and yet again, they came to the same conclusion as they did with the first incident. That he had shot himself.
