Fox news smears occupy protestor

[Mister Agenda]

My friend Jon was murdered last week. He was active in Occupy Savannah. A local conservative blogger immediately connected his death to the movement, and the predictable comments about drug deals gone wrong and the protestors are little better than animals ensued. Now the fact is that Jon was walking home from a friend's house during the wee hours of the morning and got robbed and shot. It wasn't the best neighborhood. He was about seven miles from the protest. It had nothing to do with Occupy or drugs or protestors; except maybe in the sense that he might not have been in the wrong place at the wrong time if he hadn't been doing his activist thing. That's at least one commentator who picked up the ball and ran with it on the slimmest of suppositions. Take stories like this one with a generous helping of salt is my advice.
