On Wednesday 14 February 2018, Nikolas Cruz gained entry to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida and opened fire with an automatic weapon. His rampage left 17 people dead and more than a dozen injured in one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.

The accusatory partisanship began almost instantaneously as mainstream media (MSM) outlets, individual reporters, and various Leftist social media users began to hurl ad hominem invective at their enemies. The young people who were brutally murdered were still where they’d fallen; casualty figures hadn’t even been confirmed when ideologically driven reporters were ready to pin this horrific mass shooting on their favorite scapegoats.

Here’s @spacekatgal, dancing on the graves of 17 children to rope misinformed onlookers into her deceitful narrative. All the buzzwords are present, 4chan, Trump, white supremacist, anti-fem and even #GamerGate.

This overzealousness on behalf of the MSM was predictable.  Something anonymous 4chan users, alt-right meme war veterans, and tech-savvy nationalists were counting on. They decided that they would once again expose the colluding MSM’s ideological fervour, their deceit, their lack of professionalism, their failure to do basic journalistic research, and above all: their callousness.  

With characteristic deftness powered by a mix of mischievousness, trolling acumen, cunning, autism, and a genuine sense of justice, anons and discord meme-soldiers convinced a huge swath of the MSM that Cruz was in fact a white supremacist and a member of the Republic of Florida Militia.

These are just some of the MSM outlets that ran with the Hispanic-white-supremacist-militia-member narrative without substantiating things further: Time, The Daily Beast, Salon, The ADL, The Hill, and Heavy.

Here is how the troll was executed:

If you know the slightest bit of info about Jereb and the Republic of Florida Militia this is more than likely true and you have all probably been trolled by kids from the Chan boards. Again.
