Michael Protzman, a modern-day Pied Piper and leader of a QAnon cult who led thousands of people into believing a bizarre conspiracy that former president John F. Kennedy and his son John F. Kennedy, Jr., are still alive, has died in Rochester, according to the alternative news outlet VICE News.

I was worried he was from Minnesota. No just died here

[-] JaymesRS@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

We are responsible for our fair share of crazy. Ron Johnson and Mike Lindell are from Mankato, for example.

[-] zeroscan 4 points 1 year ago

Fuck Ron Johnson.

[-] blusterydayve26@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

You take Ron back! Please!

I knew our lack of a helmet law would come in handy.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Well that's a shame... not.

[-] Zimroxo@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

"thoughts and prayers" or something like that

No he didn't! He's alive! I saw him at an In 'N Out just this morning!

There will unironically be people who think this.

There's a quote in the Vice article about this from a former follower who insists this is a fake, evil version of the guy. The real, good version, who is JFK Jr in disguise, is still alive and well!

So sick of these crisis actors trying to fabricate these narratives like this.

He's just taking a break because he was getting too famous. He has to be in the shadows for a while now. Trust the plan.

And nothing of value was lost.

[-] Fibby@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I thought QAnon had a bunch of possible "Q" leaders. Like, weren't a handful of different people considered "the prophet" or some shit?

[-] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

What I want to know is if he was actually wearing a helmet or not.

[-] Helldiver_M@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

smh, don't you know that helmets were invented by Bill Gates? No true patriot would use them. /s

[-] Vaggumon@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Oh no, what a shame.

[-] seafoam_green@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Wow holy shit!!! Glad his followers have an opportunity to snap out of it! (Not that they necessarily will)

[-] iamnotme@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

He’s not dead, he’s still alive. I saw him with the Kennedys.
