ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[Blindgreed1]

The guy that sent it to me got it from South jersey or NJ.com. Normally a reputable site for sports news at least. Apparently not so reputable for politics. They've since taken it down.

Thanks Gunnar; not a problem.

I'd seen those Antifa claims in reader comments on news sites early on, and those kinds of politically-motivated false claims have sadly become par for the course in any tragedy these days. I wasn't responding specifically to your post which you cleared up.

The conspiracy theories start almost as soon as the news of a tragedy breaks. Already, for example, there is a lot of illegitimate 'news' claiming the Texas church massacre is a hoax perpetrated by the Left, the victims are crisis actors, etc... Same shit Alex Jones and other loonies have been saying about the Sandy Hook massacre for years.

Sadly, those kinds of baseless conspiracy theories have resulted in victims who lost their little kids being subject to death threats and harassment by people who believe Jones, Facebook, and other fake news distributors.

Google and Yahoo both helped spread the Antifa lie too. This was an interesting read about how that happens: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017...-fake-news

Isn't The Guardian a right wing thing? Anyway, false flags are real IMO, I am just not of the opinion that they are as common as conspiracy theorists claim.
