The 911 caller, who is a friend of the family, described the suspect, Brian Mcgann Jr., as a "delusional conspiracy theorist."

    Is this what Joe Rogan was talking about when he was talking about sudden vaccine deaths?

    Seriously though this is brutal and freaking disgusting. Your misinformation campaign isn’t just about money it takes people’s lives too.

      I feel like blaming this on the covid disinfo might be going too far. If the guy was this unhinged, it was just a matter of time before something triggered him.

        THAT IS WHY DISINFO RHETORIC IS DANGEROUS

        I for one support imprisoning all radical fascist right wing conspiracist talk show hosts. They are literally a Clear And Oresent Danger and must have miltary action taken against them.

          Why can’t we do the same to literally every major organization?

          I’d love to see someone talking about legislation that hold any mass media, PR entity, etc legally liable for publishing incorrect information.

          Can you imagine if a simple retraction statement buried somewhere wouldn’t cut it and the organization’s leaders were criminally charged or sued?

          All the sudden talking heads would be a huge liability and maybe only facts would be broadcast again?

          Probably impossible.
