Digging up an actual case feels a lot more honest and intellectually rigorous than a meme that purposely includes the inflammatory part but cuts out the part that would let you actually verify the info in the meme. Thank you for that. I've seen way too many memes like, eg, the one that circulates about the woman who was "thrown in prison for burning a pride flag so much for free speech" that leave out the fact that the pride flag in question belonged to someone else and was attached to the restaurant they own that this woman also burned down (https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/woman-caught-video-setting-fire-gay-pride-flag/story%3fid=97336224)
