Oh this text is taken entirely from taken from a web page that went up early yesterday from some self-proclaimed “private investigator” in Florida with a goofy website(whose main business is apparently following cheating spouses)
On the page he had a picture of someone in a gas mask (unclear who they were or what they were doing), some OWS protesters, and an OWS guy wearing black and a black motorcycle helmet and breaking a window.
The basic “argument” seemed to be that because Holmes was wearning black and had something on his head, that it merited investigation whether he was in OWS.
I think there were some exceptionally stupid people who thought the pictures actually showed Holmes, which they do not.
You miss the point. The one-way war of disinformation needs to become a two-way war. Merely playing defense does not cut it. Yesterday a facebook “friend” posted a link purporting to show that the rate of “gun violence” was highest in red states. In the very small print, however, was the author’s definition of “gun violence”. It included all injuries from not only criminal acts, but self-defense and mere accidents as well. The “friend” who posted it simply ignored my objection to the obvious misleading nature of the link, and continued to talk about the “gun violence” in those red states. This is how they operate, and guess what, it works.
To a degree uncomfortable for some (but not for others) we must adopt their language to get across to them the idea that even their heroes, even themselves, can end up in prison because of this stuff.
Frankly, I"d like to see Stephenopoulous in jail although I notice there are others who want his lesser known co-perpetrator to simply be charged with a civil suit.
