#GamerGate, meet #Ferguson; #Ferguson, meet #GamerGate

Not a video game

If you grit your teeth and do a search for #GamerGate and #Ferguson together on Twitter, you will find Tweet after Tweet from worried #GamerGaters earnestly imploring their comrades not to make any connections between the two hashtags. Why? Because they know that those who cross the streams are likely to Tweet things like the following.

This what happens when #GamerGaters try to make sense of what is happening in Ferguson.

#GamerGate is more relevant to me than Ferguson because, well, I'm not a black Missourian, but I am a gamer.

The injustice in #ferguson, in my opinion, mirrors the injustice in #gamergate

I know #Ferguson is a much more immediate thing than #GamerGate, but don't forget to take a minute and send an email.

#Ferguson is a great example of how SJW mindset just leads to irrational behavior #GamerGate

Oh, and yes, these are all genuine #GamerGaters; check out their timelines for proof, and you’ll also see some of the terrible racist crap some of them have been tweeting and retweeting.

    Bullshit. Radical feminists get shit heaped on them all the fucking time.

    Gamergate started as one man stalking and harassing one woman, and getting his filthy troll mates to join in with rape and death threats. Then it escalated to spewing the same threats at other women, alllying with neo-Nazis and throwing in antisemitism to go with its misogyny.

    So fuck off with your apologia, troll.

    Look I’m honestly here in good faith. … Many of the witnesses supported the cop’s story or had issues with credibility.

    Consider the questioning of Witness #42, who testified, “I didn’t deem it to be a hostile situation to where the officer needed to have his gun raised. […] Mike was coming like, ‘stop shooting’ And he’s shooting him and kept shooting him. I’m like, he don’t pose no threat. […] He was ready to give himself up.” Here’s what Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kathi Alizadeh asked him about that testimony: “The first time you talked to the FBI, which was a week after this happened, you told them a story that had a bunch of lies, isn’t that right?”

    (Source: Alais’ link, proving that Captain Good Faith here didn’t even fucking read it.)

    They seem to literally believe in the power of wishful thinking. As long as they keep ignoring reality and the reactions of the people around them, the power of their ignorant mind can change the world around them. They don’t seem to realize that attempting the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of being a bullheaded shitweasel.

    Or maybe they’re just extremely gullible and projecting so hard. Could be either, really.

    @M. The Social Justice Ranger

    Obviously I read the link, otherwise I couldn’t have
    known that it described the prosecutor attacking one of the witnesses based on his/her mental illness. And yes, I would classify “told multiple lies to the FBI” as “having severe issues with credibility”. Or should we hang a man’s life in balance over the word of a proven liar? “Witness 42” isn’t the only witness with credibility problems either.

    Yes, it’s not that there’s glaring problems with this case, it’s that I’m racist. When I was infuriated by George Zimmerman’s verdict and baffled by Michael Dunn’s, it was to trick all of you! MAUWH-HA! MUAWH-HA! MUAH-HA!

    Why judge each shooting individually when you can just assume that everything conforms to the general racist pattern in society and be done with it? Yay!

    (Note to non-USians, things may be less fucked up where you live, but getting charged with a crime in the US is a BIG.FUCKING.DEAL. Criminal trials are public records. They can effect whether someone gets a job regardless of whether they are found innocent or guilty. They also fairly frequently fail to accurately fact find and are subject to tons of bias. Better for the system to fail in the direction of letting a guilty man free than in the direction of putting an innocent man in jail.)

    There are absolutely larger issues here than Darren Wilson’s racist ass. Again, there’s what you know, (or at least what you suspect), and what you can prove. As President Obama said; “We are a nation of laws”.

    Gamergate can discuss openly these issues

    I fucking hate sub-intellectuals who think that rehashing the wheel is some kind of novel and amazing insight. There is a reason why intelligent people don’t bother discussing the merits of Nazism, or phrenology, or spontaneous generation, or the divine right of kings – they were already tested and found wanting long ago.

    Never mind that Wilson’s story doesn’t add up, McCulloch had clear conflicts of interest, and the prosecutors asked questions in leading ways that would bias the jurors against the witnesses. The reason there was no indictment must have been the evidence. Riiiight.

    Invoking Obama’s name to insists that justice has been served when a white cop who it’s looking like may have Klan affiliations walks free after killing a black kid was a rather impressive troll move, though, so points for that. Go get yourself a nice wide-screen TV for under the bridge, you’ve earned it.

    I’ve emailed David about this racist trolling.

    cassandra – not to mention that Wilson is now a millionaire through the donations racists, led by the so-called prosecutor, gave him.

    Oh, and just before Wilson murdered Mike Brown, another cop was suspended and is facing termination of his job for dealing with a bloke by NOT shooting him, talking to him and driving him home, and then not filing a report.

    That cop is black. Guess who’s pushing for him to be sacked? McCulloch.

    For those who don’t know, a grand jury is charged to determine if there is cause to bring an indictment. Setting aside the old joke about how a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich if the prosecutor want it indicted. When you have numerous witnesses claiming the opposite of one another it needs to go to trial. That is about as open and shut a GJ case as you are going to get. Conflicting testimony? Jury trial. That is to say nothing about the absolutely amazing number of policy violations the perp committed.
    beegee, you keep saying things that are simply not true. I wish you would either stop or leave.

    The way I heard it, it was the other way around – Wilson used some of his new-found millions to pay off McCulloch (not that he needed paying off, but hey, corrupt good ol’ boys love their bribery) – but frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if both are true.

    Has everyone read the bit about how the prosecutors gave the GJ a statute that had been declared unconstitutional in the eighties to base their decision on. The thing about racists is they don’t worry about plausible deniability all that much. They rely on their racist constituents.
