There's a f***ing facebook support group for the guys who murdered Ahmaud Arbery.

With 50K members.

An ‘about’ section on the group page reads, “These 2 God-fearing men were only trying to protect their neighborhood. This area has had a string of break-ins and this man fit the description and did not comply with simple commands. Our hearts go out to the McMichael family in their time of need. Amen.”

Russian trolls capitalized on things such as the death of Michael Brown to rile up people over social media and use them as hooks for further propaganda efforts (such as pro-Trump messages).

No doubt they will do all they can to repeat this strategy.

It wasn’t a leap in my mind at all to think that there would be sickos supporting these two shit heels. We are a broken people.

pickup trucks, racist murderers.

Oh, and that god-fearing crap?? Pretty sure just their "god" said "thou shalt not kill".

Casey Anthony who is in a domestic partnership with Scott Peterson? That's a hoot. Some guy named "Jethro" who's a "deboner" at a Purdue Chicken Plant? Somebody in Istanbul, Turkey? Danny Gook? Seems like a lot of fake profiles.
