These are incredibly fucked up pictures for u/Zap_Powerz to post and the commentary thoroughly wretched. It is so utterly disgusting to make fun of this poor woman and laugh at actual images of her dead child in her arms that there is no plausible explanation other than it being part of a targeted campaign to demonize free speech.
Seriously, how many people do you think come here to have their emotional well-being shaken like this? All of these jeering accounts need to be banned. They are only here to damage this community.
I agree with you, except for the banning people part. If they're proven bots or paid shills, then yeah, but otherwise, no. It doesn't matter how evil they are, they should be allowed to say what they think. It's the only way to preserve free speech.
I totally support free speech. I don't see having a moderated discussion about a particular topic.
I also don't see banning accounts who have a history of trying to give us bad optics. You will never be able to conclusively prove that an account is a paid shill, because a dedicated troll could easily be doing it for the lulz. There is nothing wrong with banning both of these types of accounts as the two are indistinguishable.
Look into the post and comment histories of the account I think need to go and you will see the pattern clearly. Make no mistake about it: powerful interests are bent on having the Internet be a place where dissenting voices lose the privilege of speaking. They pay people to go into forums and ruin them; I am convinced of that.
