“Call out the instigator, because there’s something in the air…” — Thunderclap Newman, “Something In The Air”

Hey, what do you think the chances are that principle antagonists or aggressors in any of these situations or hundreds of others like it had been on the internet talking about their two-a rights within a week or so prior to the newsmaking incident?

What do you think their exposure levels to all this stupid “government evil” rhetoric (which is really just a crappy weak excuse used by people throughout the spectrum too lazy to get up and be their own government as intended and as they so endlessly claim to want) and “they’re all the same” and all the other ego-serving, chest-thumping, attention-begging, insecurity-camouflaging, clickbaiting manure that floats around on social media pretending to be earnest, good-faith political discourse among concerned citizens? Maybe some appeals to revolutionary fervor based on an identity status or something, I didn’t even read the stories and don’t know…
