The only question you should ask.

0  2015-04-13 by oldguynewname

You can post all the world trade center, sandy hook, SLC daycare, and whatever other stories you want to bring awareness to the things you feel are important.

The question is what are YOU going to do about it. That is the only thing that matters. Recently I got death threats on both reddit and Facebook when I posted in a thread about TSA. Knew I would be cross posted into srd before the sun went down and wasn't suprised when it happened.

Warned the moderators of it as well of what I knew would happen and informed them of my resolve. Asked them to save someone a hassle by removing the thread. They didn't listen.

Admin only banned the accounts. Facebook did the same. Well that didn't set right with me. So I went forth and used the law for my aid. It hopefully worked maybe it didn't. The thing you should do is defend your own ideals and stick to principals.

It isn't shills on reddit coming in here I am pretty sure it is fucking kids that just can't find entertainment outside of reddit. They want to stir you up. Let them if it is worth your time. Soon as they do be damn certain you report them. The hunting people down is something I will admit I did with this case.

It didn't seem worth my time to do anything after I saw what I had to lose. The person that we t me threats was a college student in Baltimore. Hopefully this will get the rest of their life fucked. Point is that you should all do something other then posting here.

Make a difference. After finding out who it was I realized that it was a hollow threat. Didn't know that from the beginning. Some very specific shit was said they would do. So I took it as genuine and returned the favor in kind.

Make a difference other then reddit. Do something that others will see.

My rabbit hole is only big enough for me. I've tried to make accommodations (widening it for others), but they criticize the wallpaper and lack of light :/. So, here I burrow. Got a few neighbors in the field, but they too like their holes. I'll wait it out, when the Geiger starts ticking, you know the zombies wont be there any more and we rabbits will come out of the holes and start over.

Hey man, I enjoy your writing very much!

I'm sure you do.

Um ok. From your wording you seem to be mocking me and the rest of this community if you don't want to participate in a constructive manner then go away. Or stay and waste your time.

You've failed to understand what I've written. I'll break it down for you. Some people are just a waste of time and energy. We all have variant beliefs but we (conspiracy community) know shit is fucked. Don't waste your time on the useful idiots/paid shills. Do try to bring others in, if they don't want in, move on. Some people (like myself) have tried and they just don't want it (hence their complaints). So I work on myself and the others who "get it". In the end, that's all you can do. Some people would still say AQ did 9/11 even if Bush went on Kimmel and said "huhuhuhu we did 9/11". You're going to exhaust yourself worrying about the "idiots". They are there to do that very thing. Divide, wedge, conquer, hopefully profit.

I say make a stand. I ain't done by a damn sight. Don't understand why you allow yourself to be mocked and threatened by these people.

Its actually pretty easy when you find the right angle to fight them on. Might be a waste of time sure then again it might not.

I at least have to try something. I don't understand why others don't.

I get your sentiment, and I wasn't mocking you. I'm just saying, you are playing into their game. Stop playing into it, they are there to exhaust you/piss you off/push you into a corner. One great example could be this. You break up in a relationship with a girl. What pisses her off more? You responding back with threats and retribution or you ignore that cheating bitch? Ignore them, don't feed the trolls. Do try to help others, but don't feed the idiots. Their brains will explode if people just ignore them and say "meh, fuck em, lets unite.". They (TPTB) are using asymmetrical warfare on you, so you best do the same on them.

I agree. Problem is that it wasnt a threat to me that pissed me off. It was to my son. That's where I lost it. Can't stand that shit. When you say shit to me on reddit its whatever.

Don't bring family into it. Funny thing is that some srd members defended it saying its whatever. Then some said its fucked up. It only took me 4 hours of sitting in a hotel to find out who this person was.

And an hour on the phone with their local police and then another hour explaining the situation to the cyber crimes division of the FBI. Rest will happen when I am not busy again.

I can see where you are coming from. I'm not a father, but if I was, I'd do anything in my power to protect my children. But, half the shit said on the internet is just that, shit. Don't let idiots fool you or scare you. The chances of someone posting that online and doing it, are astronomical. I'd be more worried about reporting it to the authorities than the dickhead who sent it. Because now, your activities could be monitored a little more closely. But then again I'm a cynic and a conspiracy theorist. All in all, I get where you're coming from. But, there is an active campaign to divide, wedge and conquer. Don't fall into the trap.

Lol the "gubberment" is going to monitor you anyways. Same as if someone wants to steal your identity. Either way I didn't care. Wanted revenge on someone and found a viable way to do so.

Don't get angry so fast. Given your experience that you posted, i can understand how you would get worked up by strangers on the internet. But dont let that anger and irritation overcome you. That is the goal of the threats anyway, to make you angry, sad, afraid. Do the opposite. Be happy. ;)

exactly. it makes me wonder if my dad ever tried to read these arguments he may have a heart attack. the body can only take so much of this shit online. if im ever old i would take it easy on the internet binges

Are you trying to say you tracked down some college kid in Baltimore and you're hoping that the rest of his life if fucked up because he made a few threats over the internet? And that we too should "do something" to stop the madness?

Talk about kids not finding entertainment outside of reddit....

Yeah I am that shallow that I will do everything I can to fuck his life up for the mistake he made. It would be no different if I sent someone from reddit a death threat. Its deplorable.

I gave them fair warning. Brigade me if you want its a self post and won't effect me at all because you want to defend this person by making me the bad guy. Won't work. I have a family to worry about.

How am I to be certain they wouldn't do this to someone for real?

Make an example of them I say.

Internet warrior.

Hardly. Just someone fed up with the shit and decided to make something of it. Chances are nothing will happen to this person. But there is still that slim chance that the coos will break into his house he will reach for a phone and get shot on principal.

Who knows.... One can only want a certain outcome.

So, some college kid was giving you some shit and you got fed up with it? Decided to get him? Maybe you should stop playing on the computer and rethink what you're saying. he's a college kid for Christ's sake.

Don't care if he was or not. If the judicial system decides to have their way with him so be it. You are defending his actions. Or at the very least dismissing them.

I didn't decide to get him. I decided to find them and report them to local law enforcement as I was encouraged to do by many. So hopefully they will become and example to others that think its just a ha ha joke.

Also they didn't give me shit. They said they would kill my wife and son. Then they said they would do to my son what the Nazi did to the Jews.

I don't find that funny. Sounds pretty clear.

Okay... I'm not defending him. I'm asking you if you didn't over react to a threat made over the internet? Did the guy know you, where you live, anything? And why would he threaten to harm your wife and child?

It just seems like plenty of idiots make lots of stupid statements over the internet. I rarely take any of them seriously.

Yes they did know where I live. Added that they took the time to find me on Facebook.

I am a father and would do the same. Threatening me is one thing but mention my son and I will take every measure to ensure that person is visited by authorities. Yes, there is a good chance they are just being internet tough but I would not be willing to take that chance. Keep doing what you are doing.

Fucking shills!

Why would you say that? Is that really want you think?

I hate shills, they ruin the discussion.

I have yet to see a shill. A person that is without a doubt one.

You seem to be an agenda shill, whos purpose is to spread propaganda that aims at getting people to accept "laws" over morality. A father person whos afraid of a random person on the net, A.Has no peace of mind so neither does his family B. Is scared of the world outside of the computer even more (brings up the question of such a mental state and how that state of minde affects the welfare of his family) C. Has no faith (evidence of things yet to be seen) in his own ability to protect his family...Boils down to a scared individual whos attack needs to be on his fear itself.

Are you such a Father?

Ummmm not so much fearful once I found out who they were more like hell bent on exacting revenge in a way that would allow me to do so without legal ramifications on my end.

Any an all threats to family should be taken seriously. If they are not then you are not doing your job as a parent to keep your child safe. Just my thought.

Eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind.

How would you think this should be handled?

The words of a scared father .

Those kids coming in here to stir things up are the shills
