'She was an adventurist.' 'She was an anarchist.' She 'defends terrorists.'<br /><br />What this big "hoax" comes down to is that what ISM activists do is dangerous, so there must be some "conspiracy" afoot to make them martyrs. <br /><br />Maybe the situation is just what it looks like: people care about people and they're willing to put their lives on the line. People can be concerned with the suffering of people placed under systemic collective punishment. And are willing to take risks to do so.<br /><br />And about these "conflicting eyewitness accounts." Oh, conflicting eyewitness accounts between two sides where there's conflict, hostility and tension! You don't say! Strong case, there.<br /><br />What it comes down to is that I am tired of conspiracy theorists "digging deep" and finding nothing more coherent than conflicting accounts, then relying on people's prejudices to open up a space of doubt around the things that actually DO add up. Why not just be honest and say, "I don't like the ISM so I don't believe them?"Rob Butzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480757332706444698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-50860111959764318192010-04-19T23:10:29.193-04:002010-04-19T23:10:29.193-04:00I don't care what the cause is for, when a Bul...I don't care what the cause is for, when a Bulldozer is advancing you MOVE!!!!caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548065686230314563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-39190050950437260012010-03-30T10:57:04.460-04:002010-03-30T10:57:04.460-04:00Heres the problem with your comment Mr. Zombie.
