Unless this poster can supply some corroborating information, or perhaps a scientific definition of "megatoxin," this is more noise than signal.


> The local police blew it up like a beached whale, now megatoxins are Chernobyling Ohio and there's a news blackout and the police are beating reporters and camera people and dragging em

This is simply a set of lies.


It's a lot of hyperbole, but yes, a reporter was knocked to the ground and handcuffed face-down and dragged out of a press conference because he continued to quietly speak into his camera as the governor started speaking...at the opposite end of a gymnasium. He was trying to wrap things up and wasn't given the chance.

etc.

I'm sure, of course, that the police reaction had nothing whatsoever to do with his ethnicity. /s
