I feel a book burning day a cumin soon.. Popular Conspiracy Theories Books I do however see your point in this instance..
Nah, I prefer it when the criminally dumb immortalize their stupidity in print. It’s a shrine that ensures they can never say it didn’t happen.
Have not followed this at all, how does this affect FOX. Are the one of the defendants? I personally think this sets a dangerous precedent. This most obviously happened and some idiot wants to say it didn't so what. You can't let stupid bother you.
You can if someone publishes a book claiming you faked your son's death as part of some conspiracy. You can if people who believe the conspiracy theory harass you, make death threats & place you in a situation where you feel that you have to move house & can't visit the grave of your murdered child. Lying or telling untruths about people isn't protected speech.
