'I hope someone truly shoots you': online conspiracy theorists harass Vegas victims"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/26/las-vegas-shooting-conspiracy-theories-social-media

What is the matter with people???

[dewsgirl]

1. Deplorable isn't a strong enough word for what these people are.

[LuckyCharms]

2. Another day in Trump's america.

[dewsgirl]

4. Every single day the bar is lowered, scared to death to see where

We will be even six months from now.

[7962]

20. But these idiots have been around since 9/11.

And I guess to a lesser extent, the moon landing

[gopiscrap]

39. actually since the Kennedy assassination

[7962]

41. Yep. Absolutely.

[Towlie]

26. But... But... I thought "make America hate again" was just a harmless joke about a baseball cap!

This is a peek at what the real Idiocracy will look like, and it won't be a silly slapstick comedy about a stupid but peaceful society.

[GeorgeGist]

3. Russians..

and their stooges are despicable.

[benfranklin1776]

7. They are truly insane.

Psychotic sociopaths not fit to call themselves American, but then again they may be, as another poster pointed out, Russian trolls. So either way they are not part of civilized society and need to be quarantined from harassing these victims and prosecuted for cyberstalking. That’s how to stop the disease they spread.

[dalton99a]

15. Yep.

[JDC]

5. This is what the troll farms do. Sow hate and fear

And divide using social media. They cause chaos and poison us all. It’s working and we are the instruments of our own destruction.

[yardwork]

6. Exactly what the troll farms did after Sandy Hook.

[obamanut2012]

10. They aren't all troll farm bots -- some are university professors

And other professionals.

[7962]

42. Especially if they think they can get followers & make money from it.

Thats how the "truther" bullshit was born

[DetlefK]

8. I encountered such a person on another forum.

Well, not one of these people, but somebody with the same attitude:
Their hobby is stirring up shit and pissing off people. They see it as their god-given right to do whatever they want and to piss off whomever they want.

It's about the drama.
It's about the thrill of fighting against somebody for something.
And they simply don't give a fuck whom they are attacking or why. It's a lifestyle to them.

This other guy, he trolled me, kept shifting arguments, tried to drag me into a flame-war, threatened to call a mod on me... Then I called in a mod and all of a sudden he became politeness personified. Too bad his old posts were still visible...

[BeyondGeography]

9. I spoke to an educated person who said the shooter was ex-CIA

and designed to discredit Trump because he is a threat to The Deep State. RW fantasists might be the biggest problem of all.

[Nitram]

11. It was just a matter of time.

[Irish_Dem]

12. Even the Sandy Hook parents have been harassed. Unbelievable, such cruelty.

To have your 6 yr old murdered, then to be harassed and told it was all a hoax.
What kind of country have we become?
The GOP has so much to answer for.

[3catwoman3]

33. Of all the hateful crap we have seen, this...

...one is the worst of all, IMO.

[Irish_Dem]

40. Not only did the GOP create the gun culture, it creates the hoaxers too.

Yes attacking the Sandy Hook parents, an all time low for the GOP types.

[AllyCat]

13. People have lost their minds.

Horrible behavior from all over about things I could never have thought possible. Just left a thread on FB about the NAACP issuing a travel advisory on American Airlines. The venom from the people posting there is just nasty. 95% of the posts (or more) are racist nastiness.

[mainer]

14. I wish we could name and shame these harrassers

They should be exposed.

[LiberalArkie]

16. I believe that generally non-poor white people can not accept that a non-poor white person

could do something like this. It has to be a a non-white or a "Loner" or a "street person".

They can not believe that an "aryan person" "being superior in all ways" could do Sandy Hook, for Las Vegas or... or ... or ...

[7962]

22. Oh come on. Most of these incidents for decades have been white people.

If you take out terrorism, most random mass killings have been done by whites. Everyone knows it.
Show me where anyone disputes the validity of these crimes based on the race of the murderer.

[ck4829]

29. Except the mentality does exist. Here's an example of that very mindset in action

Mark Del Maestor, a Vietnam veteran, told the crowd that the "enemies of freedom" infiltrated the U.S. and "filled our colleges, our universities and our schools."

Maestor later told The Real News that the "enemies of freedom" are "liberals, the progressives, the communists, and now the Sharia law Muslims."

"Sharia law Muslims will go into a school, and kill all the kids," Maestor insisted. "Sharia law Muslims are already in America just like cancer."

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8775354

Why did this Maricopa rally-goer feel the need to say something that is patently not true? It's not Muslims going into schools and shooting up kids. Why didn't the forces of MAGA shut this person down?

[ck4829]

32. And another example... Right here on DU

Where someone didn't know there was another recent shooting at Ft. Hood - perpetrated by a non-Muslim white guy. (Which I chalk up to ignorance rather than hate, but it shows the whole scope of what this problem is)

19. You forgot to add the sarcasm thingie

I hope.

[mikeysnot]

21. He didn't last long....

I could not even log in fast enough to comment on that mess.

WTF?

[Thor_MN]

24. Anthrax has an H in it. When attempting to point out spelling mistakes,

it's best to avoid making them yourself. There is a spell check feature on the Post form, it's in the lower left corner.

If you forgot the sarcasm tag (smiles button, second page), welcome to DU. If your post was serious, enjoy your stay, it will be short.

[Lee-Lee]

18. A friend of mine was at the Pentagon on 9/11

She says the trolling and threats and nastiness started about 6 months later and has never ended- reliving her she's a liar, part of a coverup, etc.

It's to the point she refuses to even talk publicly about it anymore. She turns down local newspaper requests for interviews on the anniversary because it brings out the crazies.

[7962]

25. Thats the one that pisses me off the most about 9/11, I think.

These idiots think it was a missile. But a missile doesn't knock shit over and leave a trail on the way into the building. Not to mention the myriad of people who saw the jet as it came in.
But I guess all those witnesses are CIA plants.....

[liberalnarb]

23. These monsters make me hope there is a hell.

[lpbk2713]

27. Mouthbreathing idiots have found the anonymity of the internet.

They should know if the FBI wants to find someone bad enough they will.

[yuiyoshida]

28. TWO words...

Fox News... (and a healthy dose of Alex Jones)

[cwydro]

35. Yes.

Spot on.

[Baitball Blogger]

30. They should track down those people because this is either another bot troll or

someone needs to be booted off Facebook.

[SHRED]

31. The rightwing is despicable

[liquid diamond]

34. These assholes did the same thing after the

Sandy Hook massacre. They are pathetic attention whores.

[Initech]

36. The Sandy Hooking of this tragedy begins.

Fuck the NRA, Alex Jones, Prison Planet and all that other bullshit. There's a special place in hell for these assholes.

[kwassa]

37. Youtube is the problem.

They should shut down their comments sections if they can't monitor them.

They are facilitating abuse, just as Facebook was.

[Orrex]

38. The closest I've ever come to actually punching someone in the face...

is when a (now former) friend told me straight-up that Sandy Hook was a false flag operation.

[7962]

43. Was this one of those people who think these incidents are all "actors"?

Or "just" that the shooter was a set up.
Theres a website out there that insists all these things are full of actors. No explanation for actual dead children that existed for years before the incident. And they also think that many in politics are really doubles and other paid actors.

We have watched SO many movies and TV shows where the govt is controlled by some shadowy group that even the president doesn't know about, etc, that we are apt to buy into anything. The Bourne movies are a good example. Lesser known ones usually have a shooting where a specific person is set up for the crime. Always by a secret govt agency. And TV shows as well. And people start to believe this shit

[niyad]

45. if that had been me, and the person spouting that crap a man--it would not have been his

face I aimed for!

[niyad]

44. some people are sick, twisted, stunted, hate-filled imitations of human beings.
