"My name is Benjamin Ford. I am from San Francisco, California," said the young man dressed in a plain beige T-shirt as he sat on a chair. "We need to leave this country right now. If we don't, everyone is gonna be killed in this way," he said.

Bad, right?

Not as bad as the sick fuck coming out and admitting it was a hoax.

"Social commentary"? No, you slimy scumbag, it's your death warrant. I guarandamntee you you'd better go into hiding because if the families of people who have been beheaded catch up with you after the word of your pathetic mockery spreads, there won't be enough left of you to fill a thimble.

He does have a point in that if he can fake this, then someone else can fake it too.

because no one ever makes fun of anyone else's hardships ever, right?

gimme a break man. He made the media look like the total asshats they are - posting unverified internet bullshit as cold hard fact YET AGAIN.

His actions, no matter what guided them, are protected by the constitution. Like every other media outlet on this earth, you, me, the families and joe the bartender all have the option to change the channel, turn it off, click some other banner, etc if they dont like what's on.

That doesn't make it morally right or justified my friend. The actions and words of the KKK (and many other hate groups) are protected by the constitution as well...doesn't make it right.

There are other, less arrogant and vile, ways of getting your point across.

morals are in the eyes of the beholder.

IMO, this is a molehill that requires an awful lot of backfill to reach mountain status.

Who can you trust.

This causes me to double take on something my father told me shortly after Berg's beheading. He told me the Berg was an anti-american working with the terrorists. He also mentioned that the video look suspiciously fake and inconsistent.

I can not find any of the websites that had dissected the Berg video as a fake but I was able to find this.
