Current Events > There were really people that thought the Sandy Hook shooting was staged?

(+) Yeah! (+)

How can people believe that? How would something like that even be faked? What would the point even fucking be?

How can people believe that?

A combination of disinformation, mental gymnastics, and sheer stupidity.

Sprinkle in ignorance

A banned word could describe them.

Muh guns

Take any major event and youll find a percentage of people who think it was staged.

Idiots. Simple, fucking idiots.

Marjorie Taylor Greene first gained notoriety and traction by going viral yelling at Sandy Hook survivors

Reminder that there are people that actually thought John F Kennedy was coming back from the dead

There's people who believe any and all shootings since Columbine have been staged as well as COVID. And those people are sadly the majority.

Life is a stage they say

They're not

It's sad that people really believe that. But at the same time, it doesnt surprise me, given all of the other stupid conspiracy theories that people believe.

Some people STILL think its fake. Although I'm hoping they are just trolls or bots. I mostly see that conspiracy shit in youtube comment sections.

Because we don't have any laws against spreading misinformation

In regards to Alex Jones' Sandyhook defamation lawsuit verdict in CT, some of his loyal supporters are malding out of control

I posted a few more in that, but in the thread I made on the joe rogan subreddit, there are quite a few shitheads who still think it's a hoax and Jones did nothing wrong

That 11% works out to around 140 downvote from his supporters

Even with how vile Jones' supporters are en masse, I genuinely wasn't prepared to see "[the parents] are probably pretty grateful for Sandy Hook" as a take, and I feel like that's on me.

This just supports my belief Rogan should be held liable alongside Jones since he continued to give him a platform until he had to drop him.

The Rogan subreddit has like a 65/35% split on people who hate him vs people who still consider themselves fans of his. You'll probably get some traction if you make a thread about it on there.

Is that the gamefaqs sub

I'll definitely say this right here, sure Joe Rogan always "both sides"on his podcasts, but the fact that the majority of his fanbase tend to be right leaning folks speaks volume on who he is empowering. Everytime I see a clip of him talking negative about about something on Republicans/Conservatives it always has a bunch of downvotes vs when he talks negative about something Democrats/Liberals it always has a better ratio. There is an absolute overlap of Alex Jones and Joe Rogan fans.

I.....don't think I'll get any positive conversation in a joe rogan sub with a thread about how Rogan should be facing legal charges lol

That's the thing, he traded his old fanbase of center/left leaning people for a new right wing one, which is why on social media he gets so much hate. Old fans that were abandoned by him are the most vitriolic and hateful toward him.

Those people are insane. Saying he did "nothing wrong" and yet:

the families showed how Mr. Jones ignored years of pleas and demands that he stop airing Sandy Hook falsehoods because they boosted Infowarss product sales. In court, the witnesses shared wrenching stories of harassment by conspiracy theorists who believed Mr. Joness lies, including death and rape threats, confrontations and messages threatening to defile and dig up the victims graves.

Absolutely disgusting and he still keeps saying it's a hoax. Screw him.
