Note: I'm not posting this in the Conspiracy subforum. Which is grouped with Hobbies/Interests/Entertainment, and this isn't entertaining.
"Conspiracy theorists were arrested at the site of the Sutherland Springs church shooting after harassing families and survivors with death threats and taunts about their loved ones, residents said.
Robert Ussery, 54, was charged on Monday with making a “terroristic threat” after he showed up to the First Baptist church in Texas and and allegedly threatened to “hang” the pastor, whose 14-year-old daughter died when a gunman killed 26 people in November. Ussery shouted profanities at the pastor, Frank Pomeroy, and demanded proof that his daughter had died and that the shooting was real, according to witnesses. Jodie Mann, a woman who accompanied Ussery, was also arrested for trespassing..."
Conspiracy theorists arrested for alleged threats at site of Texas church shooting
The man allegedly claimed the pastor didn't even have a daughter and demanded to see a birth certificate, or other proof that the murdered girl existed. What mental defect causes someone to behave this way? The internet is no doubt partly to blame. It's where conspiracy theories abound. And there are always people prone to paranoid thinking who will believe them. They congregate at on-line forums and chat rooms where like-minded reality-impaired believers reinforce each other's bizarre delusions. And some, who cannot control their impulses, get so worked up that they act out their deranged ideas. What this couple did isn't quite as depraved as the crackpot who shot up the pizza restaurant thinking it was a front for a child sex ring. But it's still awfully despicable. An unfortunate downside of the (dis)Information Age.
But maybe this incident is a false flag operation. This couple are paid actors. The whole thing was staged to smear good concerned citizens who are trying to warn people about the nefarious conspiracy to confiscate everyone's guns. Or maybe it's fake news and didn't really happen.
See how easy this is?
