They are coming for you’: Sandy Hook truthers escalate threats by posting home address of victim’s sister

Conspiracy theorists who believe the Sandy Hook massacre of 2012 was a hoax are threatening the sister of one of the victims to the point the woman and her husband are afraid to go home on Saturday.

Truthers accusing Carlee Soto, the sister of slain teacher Vicki Soto, of being a “crisis actor” have been posting her name, birth date and address on Instagram. “Crisis actor” is a term used by conspiracy theorists who believe the massacre at the elementary school was staged by the government as pretense for taking away guns. Twenty small children and six school staffers were killed in the attack. Vicki Soto died heroically, shielding her students.

Family members of Vicki Soto have been harassed since the massacre, but told Raw Story it’s never gone to the extent of having addresses posted online.

Instagram users are sharing a post that reveals contact and family information, including names of Soto’s mother, siblings and husband, and their social media user names.

The only one that I know would be is Alex Jones. One I know who isn't, or at least legally, is a Canadian ex pat living in Japan. Some are progressive academics who are old enough to remember the Church hearings and assume that because Gulf of Tonkin was, everything is. Notice I said academics, not intellectuals. Many are anarchists that also think every terrorist attack in Europe is a false flag connected to Operation Gladio. Then there is the occasional dim bulb who thinks the movie Wag the Dog is a documentary.
Some might be gun owners, but that has nothing to do with their motivation.

and it's horrible to think that we have more then enough to do that, how many do you think wouldn't own? Four? Five?

But I know it's more important that you kil.....defeat the enemy, so don't expect me to hang around and try to reason with the un-reasonable. Have a lovely day.

I only know what I know because I have some interesting "friends" on Facebook who share the writings and "evidence" and live in places where ownership isn't likely. I have no idea what a representative sample of the true believers are, and it doesn't matter to me.
