Somewhat related:

I am seeing more and more opinion both at progressive sites like Raw Story and conservative gun sites (like bearingarms) that John Crawford III, the black man killed at an Ohio Wal Mart while leaning an a BB gun braced against he floor that he had procured at the store itself…was the victim of a deliberate and malevolent SWATting attack perpetrated by the husband and wife team that stalked him in the store.

They made the entire story out of whole cloth lies, and the police came in and executed him on sight before he ever even truly appreciated he was in danger.
