Wednesday brings to bear a new revelation in the wake of the shocking mass shooting at a gay night club in America over the weekend: people in Singapore are convincing themselves that it never actually happened.

Specifically, some people in the "We Are Against Pinkdot in Singapore" Facebook group, often truncated as WAAPD.

It started with a post from a member of WAAPD at about 1am:

Who followed up with a link to a six-and-a-half-minute video:

A second member followed up with a screenshot from an unspecified source:

Following that, these obviously knowledgeable comments:

Of course! It must be fake since there's no citizen journalism done here! Official media are obviously a scam, we should only trust our auntie's friend's godsister's WhatsApp messages and videos which they "got off Facebook", right?

Besides, everyone knows that if you're partying and you suddenly heard gunshots, of course the first thing to do would be to start filming the scene and going in search of the gunman instead of running for your life.

And in the case of victims who were shot, they of course would have the time to whip out their phones and turn on their camera functions.

And certainly, all the police, the SWAT team, and every person in Pulse that night were in cahoots and able to collectively plan a coherent, unified false tale of what happened.

And of course, in the event they are exposed to be ridiculous and wrong:

"We are just wondering" — how convenient, isn't it?

At least two members of the group questioned them and countered with evidence:

And in case you're wondering, the video user Ian Lim linked to is this Snapchat story from one of the shooting victims, Amanda Alvear:

Want more evidence? How about this, for instance:

FYI: This report (among many, many others) shows pictures of the scene — the holes in the wall where Omar Mateen escaped from the club, as well as footage of bodies and injured victims being carried away by paramedics.

And this report (ditto above) details accounts from survivors, many of whom were badly injured.

But we guess all that doesn't matter — it's all a conspiracy, we've all been conned.
