I have first-hand understanding of exactly what you mean. And, as VenusPax posted, it was wise advice.
The boogieman used to be people who had "The Anarchist Cookbook" (anybody with half-a-brain and basic understanding of science would understand that most of the "formulas" in that book are more dangerous to the idiot attempting to create those concotions than anything else).
Then it became drug addicts, then the boogieman became people who were into child porn, gun owners could be next. Being demonized as "rogue militiamen" and "armed groups" and cast in a light as people who are "mentally unstable" or are wound up in "survivalism" etc.
So keeping in mind that not everything in the media is as accurate as portrayed, or everything that the "justice" system should and must proceed have always been followed, tkae it with a grain of salt and double-check the facts before you jump on the bandwagon.
