The Ridiculous Conspiracy Theories People Fell For In 2016
Sandy Hook “Truthers”
If the horrible tragedy of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school, in which shooter Adam Lanza took the lives of 20 first-grade students wasn’t bad enough, truthers have certainly made it worse.
There are people across the internet propped up by sites like conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars and message board Godlike Productions that have started the rumor that Sandy Hook was fake and never actually happened. Even worse, they claim all the photos of the victims are of alleged actors. Wow! Could this story get any worse? As if the parents of these poor children haven’t suffered enough?
