Title: This, And Other Reasons, Why I Hate Trolls That Come Here.

Sharon and Richard Moreno were awakened by a phone call from a police negotiator around 2:30 a.m. one night last May. He told them to get out of their home immediately and leave their adult son behind.


Officers with rifles greeted the couple on their front lawn in Sterling, Va., and tackled their son William on the porch. They had been drawn by a chilling post attributed to William on a popular local Web forum: “I JUST SHOT MY PARENTS NOW I WILL KILL MY SISTER.”
The Morenos say in a lawsuit that the post was a hoax, part of an unrelenting campaign of harassment by “trolls” on the forum, Fairfax Underground, that turned their lives upside down and drove William to attempt suicide.


Who are the trolls? Do we have any here at the forum? Here is what scientist say: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/science-reveals-what-makes-trolls-so-nasty/2015/07/20/7ca2509a-273d-11e5-b72c-2b7d516e1e0e_story.html

I'm Sadistic and somewhat Machiavellian, does that make me a troll?

Seriously, I'm not sure.

It really falls under the category of harassment and it should be incumbent of law enforcement agencies to enforce the law.

I really do not understand why people troll. Can you explain a little?

Watch this if you don't understand why people troll.

I enjoyed this video because it's hilarious, but it's very informative.


Btw, I need to move this to news and current events... this post is more appropriate for that section.
