28. I would hope he's a plant - but I've seen some shocking stuff on youtube. At one time, they had CS.

They don't stop people posting white supremacy or other things anymore. At one time, they did. Now the only thing they censor is copyrighted material.

It used to be a big deal to get an account closed down for racist, pornographic or shock videos. But everything goes now, from people laughing while killing animals, etc.

Ggetting an account shut down is no bigger a deal than getting banned at DU. Most of the conspiracy pundits use youtube and have millions of followers. Once you get there, anything goes.

From claiming world leaders are killing and torturing kids and drinking their blood, to not being humans at all. So I'm not sure he's a plant, it's a minor part of what is going on at that site. I can't imagine what LEOs, detectives or investigators feel when they see this in real life.

Not all stuff on social or the network media is fake, as the Infowars crowd claims the kids at Newtown aren't dead, that Jeff Bauman didn't lose his legs in the Boston bombing, etc. The line between fiction and reality is being crossed often, and those who support CT can use the excuse it's possible to make a movie to create an illusion, and they are heavy into media.

I don't know about this guy, but he could be real. Look at the case in Cleveland, folks next door didn't have a clue what was going on, anymore than in mass murderers or cannibals like Dahmer. We just don't know, but we can't very well deny that humanity can choose to do horrible things.
