Sandy Hook "truthers" are getting worse.

One of them is going to go completely off, on a Sandy Hook family member.

‘They are coming for you’: Sandy Hook truthers escalate threats by posting home address of victim’s sister

Conspiracy theorists who believe the Sandy Hook massacre of 2012 was a hoax are threatening the sister of one of the victims to the point the woman and her husband are afraid to go home on Saturday.

Truthers accusing Carlee Soto, the sister of slain teacher Vicki Soto, of being a “crisis actor” have been posting her name, birth date and address on Instagram. “Crisis actor” is a term used by conspiracy theorists who believe the massacre at the elementary school was staged by the government as pretense for taking away guns. Twenty small children and six school staffers were killed in the attack. Vicki Soto died heroically, shielding her students.

Family members of Vicki Soto have been harassed since the massacre, but told Raw Story it’s never gone to the extent of having addresses posted online.

being a proponent of free speech as most are... But I am increasingly understanding the reasons behind their laws... Still conflicted, but understanding.

Something needs to be done to contain these extremist (and armed) conspiracy theorists.
