Babylon Bee: Media Offers Thoughts and Prayers That Someone Will Start Some Violence at the Virginia Gun Rights Rally

It's... not quite real, but also not quite a parody, either.

U.S.--Somber members of the press offered their thoughts and prayers that someone would start some violence at the gun rights rally in Virginia today.

Reporters expressed their grief and condolences as the violence they hyped has so far failed to materialize.

"Nobody has so much as fired a shot. This is an unbelievable tragedy," said one teary-eyed MSNBC reporter, clearly caught up in the anguish of the moment.

...

One CNN reporter has offered up to $1,000 for anyone who will start some violence to help out the narrative.

In fact, people did notice CNN sounding downright dejected in reporting that there was none of the violence they feared nigh-openly prayed for:

Meanwhile, someone suspected of being an antifa infiltrator did try to provoke law-abiding gun owners to start "hopping the fence and killing people."

The agitator denied that he was trying to stir anything up but another protester replied, "We know what you are. You're an infiltrator. Get the **** out."

There's little doubt that that's exactly what he is. The left can't successfully imitate people on the right because they literally know no one on the right. All of their attempts to imitate just turn out to be the most absurd stereotypes they glean from CNN.

John Sexton collects up more reporting from the rally.

There was, alas, a regrettable blackface incident:

Meanwhile: You know this could almost be a real ABC "News" clip.

If you don't get the joke, that references ABC running that footage (from an American gun range hosting a perfectly safe live fire exercise) as US troops supposedly under attack from ISIS.
