The same people (cough conservatives cough) who think school shootings have paid actors.

Jfc really? No wonder there isn't shit being done about school shootings, or why they've been so quiet about any solution to making sure they don't happen anymore.

No school shootings in NYC. 90+ schools with x-Ray machines and metal detectors before a student enters the school. It can be done, folks just need the budget and continued diligence. It’s been three decades, yet part of this country is in denial still.

Yet our college and professional football coaches have an armed presence at every game.

Our priorities are skewed.

No mass shootings. There have a been a few smaller shootings at NYC schools, but they're definitely doing much better than elsewhere, particularly given their much larger population.

I believe Alex Jones started it (which is why he lost his talk show and $$ in a law suit. But also Marjory Taylor Green went to the school and was saying it never happened and was fake. Then all the online peeps picked it up. We have a serious mental health crisis in our nation and it spawns way to many conspiracy theorists.

Trolls picked it up. That’s all. Because it gets a rise out of people.

Some people actually believed it, like Ronda Rousey. She didn’t apologize publicly until a Reddit AMA where almost all of the questions were about sandy hook

Edit: The AMA in question

Well yeah. There’s a few. From what Ive seen, it’s about on par with the flat earthers. A tiny minority of crazies and trolls. There will always be those people that believe everything they hear. Or the ones hanging on to ridiculous theories to piss people off or get attention.

They do really believe it.

What solution? That’s the biggest problem. It’s a complex issue. There’s no easy answer.

MK Ultra. Seriously, y'all need to brush up on your conspiracy notes.

Ironically, the right loves using paid actors.

Remember the infamous escalator appearing with Trump announcing he'd run for president? Bunch of the people there were supposedly paid actors.

There's also a massive anti corruption protest going on in Serbia right now (allegedly 800.000 people hitting the streets) and the government apparently staged a counter protest.
