    They use any excuse to smear the left. They don’t use it in good faith, they use it as nazi propaganda. They keep reporting whatever makes their enemy look bad, while never reporting anything that makes them look bad. It’s not news. It’s just propaganda. 24/7.

    -fox bullshit: “Look, see - they’re as bad as YOU are, and here’s the fictional proof!”

    Yeah. This is how fascists operate. They use their hypocrisy as a weapon to display that the law and our social contract have no power over them.

    Quit voting for them & shun those that still do.

    And by shun I mean deny them goods, services & civil interactions. Call the police on them for any infraction witnessed. Ridicule and harass them at every opportunity if you can do so safely and legally.

    My man died with “Counting or not counting gang violence?” on his lips. Of course his supporters are going to come out swinging with slurs and hoaxes and slanders.

    I can’t imagine any better way to remember Charlie than with a bloody smear of reactionary propaganda.

    I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

    It’s gonna continue even if the shooter is revealed to be on the right. The mindset of a right winger is “Use this to build power” no matter the situation.

      Indeed. When no justice remains, what alternatives are left? Very few. Mob rule doesn’t work when the mob turns against you because you rape their children.
