Mind your P&Qs folks!! Internet research is one thing, but if you are looking into local people directly stay within the lines. Don't be baited into creating a false flag event like the CPP shooter that could discredit well intentioned PG research.
Shooter at CPP was designed to create a scapegoat narrative and to bring to the surface "fake news" and it's awful implications (ironic since they did more damage with their use of the term fake news over the last few months than the actual fake news has done up to this point).
Your overall point is very valid though - don't be running around there acting like 007 when you have the full force of weaponized autism at your disposal here. Not to say don't investigate; just bring your investigation to the boards if you need advice on how to take on a given situation/investigation SAFELY.
The last thing anyone needs is for the next CNN headline to read Fake news has lead to Fake investigators looking into "Fake" alleviation (see what I did there?).

Fuck me - "Fake" news has led to Fake investigators harassing people for "Fake" crimes.
Inverse -- Real news led to private citizen investigators regarding allegations that are in fact true. This is how these ppl think - it's always spin.
