Title: Far-Right Extremists Are LARPing as Emergency Workers in Los Angeles
Far-right extremists are posing as emergency workers in Los Angeles, claiming they were “SWATTED BY LEFTISTS.” In a shocking display of deception, at least 20 individuals have been involved in staging fake emergency scenarios to gain attention and sympathy from the public.
According to reports, Aguero was questioned by police after he got into an altercation with officers who responded to a false report of a fire. Aguero didn’t provide comment on the incident.
This phenomenon is not isolated; numerous so-called “citizen journalists” have been filming themselves in dangerous situations, often putting themselves and others at risk. Some even claim to be firefighters or emergency responders while they film themselves near active blazes.
These individuals then use social media platforms like X and YouTube to monetize their content by soliciting donations and promoting merchandise. The majority of them have blue checkmarks on X, which allows them to earn money from their posts.
This disturbing trend has raised concerns about the spread of disinformation and the potential for vigilantism.
