Wow. This makes me angry. I have a lot to say about this but I'm exhausted. Tagged for visibility. People need to know this exists

Yeah. I know this type of stuff and worse goes on, but I felt actual anger reading it. I also feel like I need to know more about the story as well, since it was uncovered by a "sting" operation. I've seen right wing sting operations the likes of which have come from outfits like Breitbart, and they have been odious and the furthest thing from truthful, so it gives me pause. If this is as represented it's atrocious.
