>"This was all a prank, I didn't think this would blow up like this. We are sorry. Love, rdrama," read the edited post.

Mentions us, but doesn't explain any further and keeps calling the people who posted the bait "redditors"

Whoever posted this bait is r-slurred. He should've written "rdrama dot net", then people would've known where to direct their seethe.

They mention the edited post mentioning rdrama twice but never explain what rdrama is :marseydisagree: This is what :marseyjourno: β€œintegrity” has come to

I just checked out /r/drama and theres nothing there.

I believe this is a giant hoax perpetuated by destiny fanboys on /r/subredditdrama

I think /r/subredditdrama is the alt sub of the shut down /r/drama the journo should be told this so people can pressure Reddit to shut that sub down.

>However, none of Brooks' antics could match up to the strange social media events that attempted to derail the trial just one day before the jury reached its verdict.

Holy frick imagine saying normal reddit behavior is far more disturbing than murdering six people then mocking their families and the law in court.

It's very easy to pick out the journos that didn't watch a single second of the trial.

"attempted to derail the trial"

Always with the extremes :marseyeyeroll: Couldn't have just been lolcow bait, that would be too pathetic even for terminally online r-slurs hey?

And though it only resulted in temporarily hijacking the trial, it will surely prove an enticing blueprint for other trolls to attempt.

Truly we are leaders of the revolution and it will be very neurodivergent.

Tbh the judge was a little bit r-slurred for even bringing it up. There was no reason to believe it was real, I feel like she’s just internet illiterate (which is a good thing). If someone tries this again in the future it’ll probably be ignored unless there’s actual evidence tying it to a jury member
