CNN’s Nick Valencia did retweet it, of course. But what about this HuffPo journo … remember this “reporting” from Ferguson?

@ryanjreilly @NoahCRothman Aren't you the tool who thought earplugs were rubber bullets?

That really happened. Mocking of that Ivory Tower-dwelling journo never gets old.

Which brings us full circle to the ear plugs in the “protestor kits.”

@DoctorYasmin @deray @CNNValencia OMG they are giving out the rubber bullets like the protesters found in the streets of Ferguson
