Sorry I have to post this but - the crisis actors BS going around.




I opened Facebook and found the crazed "crisis actors" meme going around. Sadly two guys I served with in the Army had shared it.

It's basically an attack on David Hogg. It features pictures of him smiling with a reporter as well as other students you've seen on TV. It includes a screen grab of him being in California. So,I had to see if I could find the news report in question. I did. It's below. He never claims to live in California and I'd gues he was there on vacation.

Anyway here's the video from L. A.'s CBS2

My bad. Since you asked - Waldman's wrote a fantastic book on the 2nd amendment

He gives the context of what militias were as well as how armies were viewed at the time. Highly recommend it.

Yes they were THIS close if you don't think about it.
His lifetime of training to be the lead crisis actor in a staged event in an affluent liberal area of Florida complete with helicopters, first responders, video and audio (not posting that it's horrible) recordings from inside this staged event all went up in smoke because websites defined by their crazed, often racist, cockamamie conspiracy theories for their gullible followers happened to find the THE lead crisis actor who had allowed himself to appear on camera in the second largest city in the country while ostensibly being on vacation ....or something.

Damn, this close. Who would have ever thought a bunch of conmen posing as news operations would have uncovered this in the digital age we live in?

“Look - they’re smiling! They’re obviously crisis actors!”

These people are certified lunatics.
