@BrianSimsPA Message I just sent, as I flagged this video:

"He (a 6', 260 pound former football quarterback) is bullying and harassing an elderly catholic woman in response to her public prayer. She was using a rosary."

@BrianSimsPA "He screamed at her and shoved his camera in her face, verbally abusing her even after she asked him to go away. He gloats about his political connections, daring her to call the police."

@BrianSimsPA This is one thing that one can report him for: this is anti-Catholic religiously motivated abuse.

@BrianSimsPA @jack, @TwitterSupport, @ArchPhilly - Update: Still no acknowledgement of the abuse reports I sent in, from Twitter. As the report is now two days old and this is midweek, apparently somebody has decided to sweep my report under the rug.

@BrianSimsPA @jack @TwitterSupport @ArchPhilly I've tagged the archdiocese of Philadelphia, which one would hope would be concerned by the practice of terrorizing Catholics for praying in public. Elsewhere, we see Mr. Sims attempt to "dox" three Catholic schoolgirls for the same "offense."

@BrianSimsPA @jack @TwitterSupport @ArchPhilly This is harassment, endangerment and, arguably, stalking. At the very least, one might hope that Twitter would refuse to allow others to use its platform in order to commit any crimes, but at the moment, somebody on the company's staff would seem to have other ideas.

@BrianSimsPA To anybody reading this - I see that 209 of you like what I sent in. Thank you, but by itself, my little report isn't going to make a difference. A dozen reports won't, either.

@BrianSimsPA Twitter doesn't respond to reasonable concerns. It responds to mobs. In the past, that has been a very bad thing, but it can be put to good use if people are willing to get involved.

@BrianSimsPA For every one psychopath like Sims, or like the Nazis or the maniacs wielding bike locks as weapons, how many sane, decent people are there who are tired of hiding in the shadows, tired of living in a world in which one can be stalked just for holding a rosary in public?

@BrianSimsPA If the rest of us start speaking up when we see something that we know shouldn't be happening, we're going to make a noise that neither the SJWs nor the white supremacists are ever going to come close to matching.

@BrianSimsPA We can't give consciences to people like Jack Dorsey, but we can at least make doing the right thing an easier choice for them to make than doing the wrong thing.

No one voice will make that happen, but every voice does count.
