Reported by Warner Todd Huston, 12:25 AM EST: Ryan J. Reilly, the Huffington Post journalist who cried when police arrested him and mistook ear plugs for “rubber bullets,” tweeted a picture of a supposed attendee of a rally meant to support Officer Darren Wilson. Reilly did not blur the license plate to grant the truck owner privacy, though he must surely be aware that Wilson himself has received a huge amount of death threats.
