Seeing the suicides in the news probably reopened some already heavily scarred wounds
I don't blame people losing faith or falling into despair over the latest shooting and it's video.
I can't even imagine the PTSD recent events could have caused in victims of past shootings.
The article that I put in the OP doesn't mention it, but I've seen several articles mention Richman and his wife were among the families suing Alex Jones for defamation.
Now I'm worried there's going to be a fourth.
That event is the main thing that makes me see Alex Jones as genuinely a really evil man rather than just a funny meme. It's easy to forget when you see some of his clips how hateful he has been and how much pain he's caused.
Jesus Fucking Christ, this is unreal. My heart goes out to everyone else affected by the shooting.
I can't imagine living with that much pain in your heart.
The sandy hook families have had to deal with far more than their preschoolers getting shot up, they are constantly harassed by conspiratards to the point where a family has had to move 7 times and another family cannot even visit their sons grave out of fear for their safety

Gene Rosen, a Newtown resident who was reported to have sheltered six Sandy Hook students and a bus driver in his home during the shooting, has been subject to harassment online alleging he was complicit in a government coverup,[58] among other things.[59] Some journalists have cited such incidents as part of a "Sandy Hook Truther Movement" analogous to the 9/11 Truth movement.[47][60][49] A writer for the Calgary Herald reported that the movement self-identifies as "Operation Terror."[55]
In May 2014, Andrew David Truelove stole a memorial sign from playgrounds dedicated to victims Grace McDonnell and Chase Kowalski.[61] He then went on to call the parents of Grace McDonnell, proclaiming that he stole the sign and that he believed their deaths were a "hoax".[62] He was arrested on May 30, and the signs were found in his home.[63] Truelove was convicted of the theft and sentenced to one year in prison.[64]
In December 2016, Lucy Richards, a woman from Tampa, was charged with four counts of transmitting threats in interstate commerce for sending death threats to Lenny Pozner, whose son Noah was the youngest of 20 children murdered.[68][69] Pozner has been particularly targeted by Internet trolls and conspiracy theorists because he has vocally fought back against them.[70] Richards had been expected to plead guilty to one count of transmitting threats, with both the prosecution and defense to recommend a sentence of probation and house arrest. However, in March 2017, Richards—who was free on bond—failed to show up to court for a change-of-plea hearing and sentencing. An arrest warrant was issued, Richards' bond was revoked, and she was soon apprehended.[71] On June 7, 2017, Richards was sentenced to five months' imprisonment.[72]
There's no doubt in my mind that fuckheads like him constantly bringing it up and calling it a fake and telling the parents their kids deaths weren't real are some part of the reason this man is dead. Fuck Alex Jones.
We should be allowed to put people like Alex Jones in a stockade and pelt them with rotten fruit.
What the fuck.
I was running errands today and had a conversation with someone while I was waiting in line. Out of the blue he brings up that this is further proof that it was a government conspiracy because these people were about to tell the truth and had to be silenced.
Too kind.
I can't stand the free pass he gets because of the meme shit. He is utterly irredeemable and is poisonous. He's helped radicalised young white men and if you dare suggest he has to be deplatformed you'll be called overly PC or anti free speech.
Is that case with Alex Jones anywhere near complete yet? I mean that should be an open and shut case I thought? They should also probably order him to broadcast a retraction of his previous statements while telling his supporters to stop sending death threats, if they don’t outright shut the whole thing down.
Also the government should probably step in and allow the families to have the option of entering the witness protection program so they can change their names/relocate without it being public record.
This is what happens when you go "its just memes man, lol, have a sense of humor dude" to this shit.
Now we have people from school shootings and the family members of those victims blowing their fucking brains out cause of this.
Posts from my local news station about these recent tragic events on Facebook are littered with cancerous comments such as "this is more than a coincidence," "the conspiracy deepens," "the left is at it again."
It's toxic comments and ideas such as above that drives these poor people to the edge. Absolutely infuriating. I don't know how the victims put up with it.
You know, I was so full of hope when Obama took office. I felt pretty good about the world.
Now, I feel like shit most of the time.
I can't even imagine how the victims of tragedy's like this manage to fuckin cope when they've got complete fucking nutjobs and sociopaths harassing them all the time. Based on news like this it's clear some of them can't cope. Makes me fucking sick knowing that good people are dying because some piece of scum can't shut their bloody mouth.
I'm not a violent person, I don't like confrontation but seeing all the shit that has been going down just makes me see red. Thankfully, I'm able to post here and vent my frustrations and I feel a tiny bit better. I hope there are other like me who feel the same.
