Braden Matejka survived a bullet to the head in the Las Vegas massacre. Then, the death threats started coming.

You are a lying piece of shit and I hope someone truly shoots you in the head, a commenter wrote to Matejka on Facebook, one week after a gunman killed 58 people and injured hundreds more. Your soul is disgusting and dark! You will pay for the consequences! said another. A Facebook meme quickly spread with a photo of him after the shooting, captioned: Im a lying c***!

The 30-year-old victim who narrowly escaped death in the worst mass shooting in modern US history has faced a torrent of online abuse and harassment, forcing him to shut down his social media accounts and disappear from the internet. The bullying, taunting and graphic threats have also spread to his family and friends.


What a time to be alive.

It's never going to go away, it's going to get worse and worse because their are special interest groups who profit from this kind of behavior and have spent millions to increase such behavior online enough that mob mentality takes over that eventually blossoms into camaraderie between real people.

No one likes being wrong, to be wrong is to be denied your existence, your very identity and being for these people as a result they double down and look for the slightest insignificant and irrational excuse to justify their behavior and actions as right and cling to it.

Tell people the same lie enough times and they'll believe it.

Yeah, Sandy Hook victims' parents got this shit too. One guy actually spoke with truthers and shared his personal life with them, sharing pictures of him and his kid.

I remember reading that he met with a vocal truther in person to talk it out, hoping that meeting with them and speaking would put the whole thing into perspective and get them to stop calling him a fraud and a crisis actor. That meeting ended with the truther demanding that this guy exhume his dead child's corpse and perform an autopsy to prove that a real child had died due to Sandy Hook.

I'm not shocked at what happened to this Vegas survivor because of this story. People are fucking monsters. I definitely feel bad for him, and I hope that these fucking truther bozos are recognised as the blight on our species that they are.

The level of depravity is astounding.

And if the father did that the truther would probably demand that the head gets chopped because the body looks fake and he wants to examine it.

Why do these people feel entitled to demanding a father desecrates the body of his dead child because they are angry that they wont be able to buy more toys?

I'd say its both, but it has magnified certain negative aspects of humanity. People can say things under a faceless username that they are too cowardly to actually say to someone's face in the real world, which is why you have scumbags sending death threats to victims of violent crimes like this.

Even in videos of the massacre, you see comments like "There's hardly any blood! Have you ever seen someone get shot? It doesn't look like that!"

I can only imagine a conspiracy theorist in the midst of the aftermath of the carnage. "Hey you! Wake up you faker! Stop faking it!"

JRE seems to mostly have idiot guests when their reason for being on the show has anything to do with politics. Heard way too many wackos speak their mind.
