This is some sick stuff and we've seen some similar comments here.
What ever happened to the days when we comforted victims?
What do these people get out of this? Is there some sort of satisfaction in harming innocent victims?
Slime like the infowars jerk use these lies for click bait so you'll buy his crappy products but what about people like this?
We studied thousands of anonymous posts about the Parkland attack — and found a conspiracy in the making
Forty-seven minutes after news broke of a high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., the posters on the anonymous chat board 8chan had devised a plan to bend the public narrative to their own designs: “Start looking for [Jewish] numerology and crisis actors.”
The voices from this dark corner of the Internet quickly coalesced around a plan of attack: Use details gleaned from news reports and other sources to push false information about one of America’s deadliest school shootings.
The posters on anonymous forums, a cauldron of far-right extremist politics, over the next few hours speculated about the shooter’s ethnicity (“Hope the kid isn’t white”) and cracked off-color jokes. They began crafting false explanations about the massacre, including that actors were posing as students, in hopes of blunting what they correctly guessed would be a revived interest in gun control.
