They have been jurt by their own gullibility and by their own negative emotional tendencies.

@wordywalt I don't think you read the article. It's about the actual victims of these false stories who end up getting death threats Like the guy is Mass. accused of being the Parkland, Fla shooter and the DC pizza shop owner accused of running a pedophile ring out of his basement. Its not about the stupid people who get sucked in by the likes of Alex Jones.

@GinaKay I was thinking the same thing! He must have commented without reading the article first
