Based upon likelihood? Give me recent stories where the Right has silenced the Left. You can give me a good one on COVID 19 right now.

Just take the L and move on. Nobody excoriated you or anyone else back-slapping each other in the thread-like what TulaneLSU was subjected to for the same thing. No need to try to explain why you would have been right in every other instance. There was plenty of info in the OP to clue one into the fact it wasn't what you decided it was. The fact it was small-town Ohio and the woman in question was the president of the town's American Legion Auxiliary is more than enough evidence to indicate it was unlikely she was a radical leftist.

I scanned her FB page last night and she seems to be a nice enough lady and in fairness all we do know about her is she isn't a snitch, she may have never touched the volume knob. She got a mountain of shite whether or not she physically acted. I know her husband's name and his FB is still public but he took the link to her page off his page and scrubbed her name based on that I am not going to put it out there as he had already gotten some comments.

Making assumptions no matter what our feels bolstered by our experiance tells us is a part of the problem we face. Justifying an erroneous assumption because we feel it was more than 50/50 is lazy, weak-minded, and an even bigger part of the problem.
