  • agreed. people will believe anything thats written dating back to, oh I don’t know, hieroglyphs and shit

    having said that, someone hopped into the thread with a couple pieces of internet sleuthing that seems to show that at the very least some seemingly consistent org that tries to tie stories to real people through internet photojournalism posted this story. the parking lot seems to be near an ICE detention facility according to dude. its not exactly forensic but it appears to be a bit closer to verifiable than an gen ai post on facebook




  • well I’ll be damned… I was unable to see the IG post but that’s just my app etc.

    based on everything you dug up it seems pretty likely that its for real. Not sure how solid it is for the org to publish something like this with the source of the story being “community member” ya know? seems plausible.

    I still stand by my original point that internet literacy is a huge problem for older and uneducated people. I remain in the “not a fan” camp of posts such as this with a little blurb about the event without any concrete foundation regarding legitimacy. this could have been utter bullshit and its fuckin embarassing for people to outrage dogpile on something based on a screencap of a tweet. I believe everyone’s first thought should be “can I trust that this is real?”

    pretty impressed with your internet sluthing though I gotta say. do you have any training or do you just go for it?

    just to acknowledge it, I gotta say I feel a little shitty with us having this type of conversation with this seemingly being legitimate; this is a real person’s real life and whats going on is abhorrent.
