People get wound up over the most insignificant stories...
Who cares.
This tactic was used against me and pro-Israel students at Cornell, and appears to have been used by an activist against a high school student in D.C.
A classic leftist/occupy activist tactic, I was warned, was to confront a target and immediately start screaming that the target was being aggressive even though that was not true. Unsuspecting people in the vicinity would not start recording the incident until there was this commotion. The videographers accompanying the provocateur also would edit the video to start when the provocateur started screaming. The target, not knowing what was about to happen, would not be prepared for it, and might even take the bait, such as in pushing the person away physically. Regardless of what the target did or didn’t do, you would have video of the innocent target being portrayed as the aggressor, and the provocateur portrayed as the victim.
Look at the other OPS post after mine on the faked "blackface" pic of "Covington" by the Huffington Post.
Fake pic? Source please. The Cov Cath "black outs" are pretty well documented.

I care because this happened to random people and their lives are being significantly impacted for essentially being in the wrong place at the wrong time..
