The Freepers are mostly angry at that corrupt cop who killed himself...

And staged it to look like three criminals shot him.

Except for one really notable exception...

"I don’t buy this. I think Muslims or blacks shot him and the Feds/state cooked up this suicide story."

Based on nothing, of course except his own racism and bigotry.

After all, I think we're all pretty used to the way the establishment routinely sells out the cops in favor of Muslims or blacks. Look at Ferguson!

I mean, it can't be a recent discovery that FR is filled with bigots, right?

at FR. There's nothing new to learn there. And I don't buy this "knowing what your enemy is saying" line either. Like the op admitted, he likes to go there for laughs. That's fine, but why link that crap over here?

I don't want to just listen to yes-men and people who agree with me. But damn...I'm tired of having to wade through dozens of posts from people whom I thought I knew, but they now see virtually EVERYTHING as a conspiracy.

"My oil pan leaked! Musta been that mooooooslim next door!"

"A cop shot a guy for shooting a guy who had shot a guy...FALSE FLAG BY OBAMA TO TAKE AWAY OUR GUNS!"

I'm tired of it. Getting kind of depressed...we have become the country of stupid.

If a person is bombarded by shit like that constantly it's gets tiring at best, maddening at worst.

But on occasion I go to FR, or this guy's web site at FurAffinity called "Cigar Skunk" just to laugh at how blitheringly stupid they can get.
