We have to be careful with this stuff.
The major problem here is that "false flags" and the like have happened many times in the past. Sometimes these events led to wars or events that resulted in millions of deaths.
We can't deny that, in reality, things like this do actually happen. Not this time, but sometimes.
That's not a defense of the people in the video. They appear dangerous and completely delusional and if left unchecked they could become a menace to society. By harassing the families of victims they already are a menace.

Isn't that bizarre? Who knows what else has, is, and will be going on under our very noses.
This is why we have to be careful with free speech.
You want to ban these people? Fine. I agree.
You want to give the authorities the power to shut these people down? Fine. I agree again. Their behavior is unacceptable.
We need to be cautious though. We absolutely must have checks and balances in place.
For now, common sense tells us that these people are not only wrong but using some disgraceful tactics to try and prove they are right.
In the future, we need to be careful that there isn't a subtle movement from shutting down obviously wrong conspiracy nuts to shutting down people with legitimate points.
I'm not sure that we can really give the authorities the power to shut down speech and then trust them with it.
I see some people mentioning the Douma chemical attack. Is it impossible that this was staged?
We've seen stuff like this before right?

So, thinking back to 2003, would it have been right or wrong to brand people claiming that Blair and Bush were lying as "trolls" or "bots" or "conspiracy nuts"?
These things do happen.
