Jon Ronson Quote

And then there were terrible things, like Alex’s assertion that the Sandy Hook massacre of 20 children was completely fake … they clearly used actors. Inspired by claims like this, Sandy Hook truthers had begun bombarding the parents of the murdered children with messages like: You’re a fraud and an asshole. Rot in hell you fucking prick. (That one had been sent to Lenny Pozner, whose 6-year-old son, Noah, died in the shooting.)
