Explaining the Difference Between Hoax and Satire

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family…

Genaire: NYPD Officer Kills Baby Following Breastfeeding Argument:

Sara: It’s a hoax story.

Genaire: That’s good to know. I hadn’t gotten around to reading it yet.

Sara: Yeah, but sadly, with the police state and the NYPD’s actions lately, it’s very easy to believe.

Samantha P.: lol i completely flipped when i read this story until sara stepped in and saved my nerves!

Rayn: It’s actually satire, meaning that it wasn’t really meant to fool readers, so much as to make them think about the issue being addressed…

Daniel F.: Unfortunately a story like this one is all too believable these days. I’ve already lost count of how many totally outrageous headlines I’ve come across that I realized were satire only because they were from freewoodpost or some other satire site like it. (Not even the Onion – somehow they manage to keep coming up with stories and headlines that most people wouldn’t mistake for being actually real).

Wendy P.: OMG, I also felt my nerves tremble till I read entirely. Cops should be trained to know the law inside and out and know when citizens actually break a law. Citizens should also be made very aware of the law.

Juan S.: ZECHARIAH 11:5… Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty:

Rayn: Indeed! “[They] are of [their] father the devil, and the lusts of [their] father [they] will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” – Yahuchanan (“Yah is Gracious”) 8:44

Those who reject the Sacred Spirit of Creation to follow after the Wicked Ways of Cain will, indeed, find themselves among their brethren… in the Pit!

But, Without Government, Who Would Torture and Serial Murder Young Women?

I originally posted the following information and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

Ex-Cop Claims He Killed Woman Accidentally During Sex Games:

(M.L. Johnson) A former Wisconsin police officer killed a 19-year-old college student from Oregon during a choking game that went too far, hid her body in a suitcase she brought to their sex date and then kept her body in his refrigerator for months, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.

Steven Zelich, 52, of West Allis, was charged with first-degree intentional homicide — the Wisconsin equivalent of murder — in the 2012 death of Jenny Gamez from Cottage Grove, Oregon. Zelich also is a suspect in the death of a Farmington, Minnesota, woman.

My Commentary: But, without government, who would torture and serial murder young women, stuff their bodies into suitcases, then dump them onto the side of the road?

From the article, “A former Wisconsin police officer killed a 19-year-old college student from Oregon during a choking game that went too far, hid her body in a suitcase she brought to their sex date and then kept her body in his refrigerator for months, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.”

Also, there’s this… “Kenosha County District Attorney Robert Zapf said he chose to charge Zelich with the most severe crime possible because he didn’t believe the deaths were accidents.

‘Killing two women over the span of 15 months under the circumstances in which the defendant acknowledged, by gagging them with a ball gag in the mouth, ropes around the neck, hands tied behind their back, blindfold over their face. He may call that accidental. I call it murder,’ Zapf said.”

Cop-Suckers Continue to Defend the Murder of Eric Garner by Police

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Cop Block,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“They didn’t kill him.. He was able to talk so therefore he could breathe.. He was breathin on the way to the hospital.. He died because he was fat.. He should have obeyed a lawful order.” “You people are so ignorant… He didn’t die from being choked.. He died from a heart attack… He was fat!” “I say his unhealthy fat attributed to his own demise. he should just not resisted and he wouldnt have stressed to death” “Only victims here are the cops” “When are we going to train Americas to stop resisting arrest ?” “He was 6-4 and 300 lbs what do you expect the cops to give him a king size twix and take him in? No” “Not to mention that if he was saying he couldn’t breathe, he obviously could. You can’t speak if you can’t breathe.” “His fat unhealthy body killed him” “he died because he was fat and had a heart attack, the choke hold was less than 15 seconds” “normal people would have submitted to any police questioning in a rational manner, he was a thug and died the thug life”

My Commentary: Read the two articles below, then check out the artwork above…

Genaire: Check it out, Ron!

Ron K.: Wow, this is 1 bloody cartoon
