A hat tip to the people in MIRT. [View all]

A Seattle woman who has been undergoing an extremely prolonged murder trial in Italy is on the radar of a group involved in a systematic character assassination all over the web. Their rhetoric is light on facts and heavy on hate. Some members of this group have been attempting to join DU simply for the purpose of spewing their venom here.

Thank you for distinguishing between DUers who in good faith are not among the Seattle woman's supporters and trolls who are trying to use DU as a platform for their hate speech.
