>But that's not the story that was spread by the shills...

I'm not sure that was the case at the time... specifically there being "paid shills" on the internet.

Concern / outrage over the legal system seems to be a bit of the human condition, I'm not convinced there was a conspiracy required to have folks retell an inaccurate story about that incident.

Sometimes it feels like anything that is perceived to be corporate friendly is called a "shill" as if individuals (mistaken or not) couldn't organically have X opinion.
