Alex Jones followers. There are a few right here on this thread. Sick is a rather benign description of the despicable mindset it takes to attack grieving parents. I'd use other words, but it would probably get me an infraction.

I personally know some of these sickos.

They are truly disgusting and guillible people. Worst thing is most are similar to this woman in AL. Ignorant and unable to think about anything besides what Alex Jones is telling them.

One person in particular I know believes in all of the things that Alex Jones says - that Sandy Hook was fake, the 9/11 Truthers conspiracy, that Obama is a Kenyan Muslim, etc. All sorts of crazy.

What causes someone to believe something like that? Is it that the truth is so horrible, random, evil, whatever that you have to work out some kind of "logic," no matter how farfetched, for yourself?

Generally speaking they have a mild mental illness and feel empowered being *in* on some sort of secret that the rest of the people are blind to. Often popular with people that have had major life difficulties with employment and\or relationships and thus find it comforting that it's not because of them but because of nefarious forces rigging the system against them.

She looks like 100 miles of bad road. Heavy drinker, I'm guessing.
Meth or heroin will also do that to you.

Neither does anything good for your brain cells.

Can you imagine losing a child in a horrific shooting and then being harassed by people like this? Disgusting.
Could you imagine losing constitutional rights or be made into a worse felon than that of a child molester?

Because that happened in NY. One of the main reasons I'm in tropical America.

Remember, Pizzagate has never been debunked despite what they want us to believe. You'd have to have it investigated for that to happen.

More thoughtful that someone who blindly believes alex jones and fake news like pizzagate? Because if something seems preposterous, thoughtful people will examine several sources to try to determine the kernel of truth to it. There appear to be no thoughtful people who believe every preposterous thing that alex jones says, as clearly, some of them still believe pizzagate.
