Regular readers, if there are any, know that I take a childish delight in crowing about my predictive powers, so it should come as no surprise that I’m going to do it again.
Shortly after the Las Vegas shooting I made a few observations, the last of which was this one:
Observation number three: Inasmuch as this one is a record setter, and will probably dominate the news for a few cycles, bets should be placed on how long it will take for one or more right wingers to suggest that it never happened.
Well:
Las Vegas shooting victims recovering from the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history earlier this month now face death threats from conspiracy theorists convinced that the massacre was a hoax, and that wounded individuals were crisis actors.
Of course the fact is anyone with a brain (which definitely excludes the scum doing this stuff) knew this would happen, so I can’t really claim much prescience. But you have to take your successes where you find them.
