Freepers who tirelessly attack citizen journalists

Lifson is right on target here. I trace all of this idiocy back to one quote that completely undermines our entire legal system:

"At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life." -- Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (29 June 1992); majority opinion co-authored by Anthony Kennedy, David Souter and Sandra O’Connor

Our political/legal landscape right now is dominated by the natural extension of this silly, meaningless crap. Juicy Smellitt defined "his own concept of existence" as one where he was the victim of a racially-motivated bias attack. Whether it really happened or not was of no consequence at all -- either to himself, to his supporters, or (apparently) to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I can see this whole nation and its entire social order unraveling very, very quickly.

The narrative is all. If the facts contradict the narrative, then the facts lie.

They also believe in narrative based justice.
