>I love how you post literally every crime in Providence but also defend this old fuck? What’s wrong with us? What the heck is wrong with you?

I'm not defending him. I also have serious doubts about his story, but I have a real problem with the mentality I'm seeing here. It's pretty clear to me that several people want this old guy to be physically harmed. That is not ok. And that is something I absolutely won't support.

And what on earth does this have to do with posting crime articles?

Reply to comment by PurposeMission9355 in Bricks With Homophobic Anti-Leftist Messages Shatter Red Ink’s Windows by Alphabet_Mafia_69

There was a nazi group that protested in front of this library last year that’s a fact. That being said, these bricks and messages are little too on-the-nose. Their main effect has been to gather support and sympathy for this Communist club. We could very well be looking at a juicy Smooyay situation.

Exactly, not like you can just pick up a Confederate flag at stop and shop while you are picking up your groceries. Its not a thing you can accidentally buy or even order through Amazon. You have to go to some pretty specific stores to "accidentally" stumble upon one. There were a bunch of stores that sold flags like that and others of that ilk that said something along the lines of like "Let's Go Brandon", which I think is a reference to the dog from Punky Brewster, but I digress, that had gone out of business sometime last year, though they might still be lurking out there. The Venn diagram of the people that frequent that store and racists is almost a virtual circle.

I can not stress how little I care about this. I do care about common sense though and I feel like people are sidestepping past that because of the inflammatory nature of this.

People are acting like they're going to attack an 80 year old or his home over this and it's kind of fucked up. Even if the absolute worst case scenario is true, what's the endgame of this outrage train?
