I have been a lurker on MAM and the other related reddit subs since the very beginning, and have witnessed a veritable plethora of sockpuppet accounts defending the state's atrocious investigation and conviction over the years, mostly after MAM was newly released and attracting a lot of attention.
Now with the release of CAM, there once again is a huge surge in new names with insulting opinions of guilt swarming every post. The same derogatory nicknames, the same debunked arguments, etc... are all being recycled and trotted back out to waste the time of, and insult, those seeking answers and justice.
CAM is, in my opinion, exactly what one would expect from those associated with it: agenda-driven copaganda. It's a blatant hit-piece using all the common manipulation tactics we have seen deployed and honed in the reddit subs over the years.
It appears that Off The Record public relations firm (the same people that sought to sell us on GW Bush's Iraq war), or a new player using the same playbook, is still being paid by the National Sheriff's Association to do damage control by propping the CAM turd up with disingenuous sockpuppet accounts, worn-out, debunked arguments, and when all else fails, insults.
It's further insulting to witness how utterly obvious they are at projecting their false superior morality and asserting logical insight they claim anyone who disagrees with them lacks.
This type of projection is the hallmark of right-wing grifters and narcissists. They aim to control the narrative through deception, manipulation, trickery, war of attrition, and simply trying to be the loudest voice in the room, and they do it with a smug attitude that is practically daring anyone to do anything about it: Like a sociopath that stares you in the eyes and lies to your face, even when they know that you know they are lying.
Like a Ken Kratz press conference.
Much more than the question of guilt, the issues raised in MAM are about police abuse of power and justice system corruption, which carries on strong and remorseless with this pathetic display of fakery.
It's not going to go away no matter how many reddit accounts they buy and control, no matter how many upvotes they give each other, and no matter how many downvotes or insults they inflict on those who dare question the state's narrative or the court's conviction.
Their desperate attempt to flood popular communication channels with crafted narrative designed to confuse or browbeat the casual observer is indicative of just how afraid of the truth coming to light they truly are. As the saying goes, tick tock Manitowoc indeed!
