US Gun Violence Victims Harassed by Conspiracy Theorists

I decided to post this after reading another thread about Sandy Hook supposedly being a hoax cooked up by the US government to take away people's guns. I also read an article in The Guardian back in October about Las Vegas shooting victims being viciously harassed by conspiracy theorists while they are trying to recover from being shot at by a madman.
The article is rather long but a good read.

Apparently there is a whole slimy subculture of animals who have convinced themselves that none of these massacres actually occurred, the victims and survivors of each of the massacres are "crisis actors" and these are all fake stories concocted by liberals with the end goal of separating people from their guns.
With the number of people who not only believe these conspiracy theories but are also willing to act on their faulty beliefs, we are well and truly fucked as a nation.

And as I said in that very thread:
Is anyone else nostalgic for the days when conspiracy theorists claimed the government orchestrated massive tragedies like this to advance their nefarious agendas and didn't fabricate them out of full cloth when it would just be easier to find some sufficiently fucked up guy with access to guns and convince them it would be a good idea to shoot up a school?

so, will there be an Edgar Maddison type that goes and murders Cronk ?
Jesus fucking Christ, how can this fucking idiocy persist ?

The kiddies aren't being taught critical thinking skills in school and this is the end result.

Unbelievable. I was watching a program about Russian propaganda a few months ago and they were saying that rather than deny a story it's best to simply add other elements to it. For instance when the flight got shot down over the Ukraine, rather than deny something that clearly happened what you do is pop alternative theories into it like say there was a NATO jet in the area, or that the missile looked like it came from another's territory etc.
So add alternative stories rather than deal with the real issue at hand, in that way you put so much crap out there that people simply do not know what to believe. This is why a trustworthy, free press is so vital.

The Russian press is an organ of their government. At least (so far) the US has a free press that will roll the government over a slow fire for their blunders. The loofa-faced shit goblin is trying to shut that down by calling it "fake news". How I wish that the US populace had more savvy.

What's funny is that you don't see that MSM propaganda is in part to blame for people holding these whacky theories about Sandy Hook and other tragedies. MSM lies so often that they have lost all credibility, that some people are starting to refuse to believe anything they report. This is just what happens when you lie so much and when MSM is so controlled. There is no free press. And when the government is known to have considered bombing people to blame it on foreign agents, people are going to think that things like that could still happen today. Of course the Sandy Hook theories are dumb because it would be so much easier just to kill the kids, but you need to keep in mind that this kind of whacky talk about these tragedies is only helping your cause. It's making people who question the establishment look like a bunch of retards. It is unfortunate that people or people related to victims are being messed with though.
