13. "alas my local Occupy went to war internally"

Sat May 5, 2012, 02:46 PM

May 2012

I remember that.
Something to do with an irresponsible story printed in a local paper about a supposedly dead marine who had been dispatched to Syria on a "sooper duper secret mission."
Turned out he wasn't dead, he wasn't in Syria, and he wasn't even the rank that he claimed to be.
Suffice it to say, that kind of thing happens when Facebook is used as a source for news and articles are written by people who aren't journalists.
The best part was when the self-proclaimed "reporter" who wrote the fact-challenged piece decided, along with a handful of others who could not admit they were wrong, to have a memorial for the dead soldier who was alive.
Good times...
