Douchebag Reporter Who Tried To Ruin Good Samaritan's Life Is Now Playing The Victim After He Was Fired
It's the Bud light/black victims of Holocaust story
[RedState] ...Calvin is the noxious little BuzzFeed alum working for the Des Moines Register who wrote the story. His idea of doing a "background check" on King included going back into King’s tweets to when he was 16 and happened to quote a racially charged joke from the comedy show Tosh.o. This resulted in King being subject to a lot of public humiliation.

But Karma is real and, as it turned out, Calvin had a lot of very ugly stuff in his social media and it was from only a few years ago, after he was an adult. The Des Moines Register investigated him and today he was disappeared from that paper.
RAH says that "any form of government will work, if accountability matches authority". Journos can destroy a person's life, therefore ... (mind you, I do not believe that Calvin will remain unemployed and destitute - the new class takes care of its own).

Update: Douchebag Former Des Moines Register reporter Aaron Calvin plays the victim in new interview with BuzzFeed

#1 And, interestingly, there is no mention anywhere that Carson King is a Republican/gun owner/general "Enemy of the People". It was just Calvin's pleasure in taking down somebody better than himself.

#7 One can only hope he learns something from this...

But I doubt it and we can expect more hate from this assclown in the future.

Sure he will. He'll learn to be more Leninesque.

#10 Counting on these people to learn anything is a fool's errand.

Best to just destroy them.

#11 ...From either side of the argument I can simply say that I thank God every day I've never had a Twitter account.

#12 IMO, he's not very convincing as a victim. Maybe somebody out to victimize him a bit more.

#14 The Left hasn't 'woke' up yet that the other guys are now doing on to them what they've been doing to the other guys. Since they have no history to call upon (since they've wiped it out in pursuits of grievance studies), their socialist predecessors bombed Warsaw, Rotterdam, and various British cities. In return, the 'other guys' bombed the crap out of their cities. We have now entered that phase of the cold civil war.
