In regard to the Tucson ordeal…
It is a red flag that rather extreme claims have been made with very little in the manner of photographic evidence. Claims of bodies with no pictures. Claims of bloody weapons. Etc… And I am not seeing much in the way of pictures evidencing these claims.
Here is the bigger problem - even if it isn't something out of a horror movie scene, it doesn't mean that human trafficking is not a problem among the homeless. Homeless people often suffer mental illnesses, addictions, and a general state of want which makes them ripe for exploitation.
I am all for investigating what is going on, but what I am seeing is a lot of hyperbole and some of the early reports of this followed the pelicanfag format.
There is certainly some fuckery outside Tucson, but let's be sure we have our ducks in a row. If there is evidence to support the claims, then let's see it. Otherwise, I see the immediate labeling of the police as villains generally suspect. Someone wants a Bundy Ranch incident, again, and hopes it triggers the shooting.
Our foes aren't completely incompetent. They will adapt their strategy.
