It’s tedious to keep posting these — I’m tweeting about 10% — but, more than a month after Tucker Carlson attacked me by name & photo, they keep coming. Many to my mailbox. All with threats.
Somewhat astoundingly there’s a Seattle return address on the envelope.
And there are email addresses, Twitter & Instagram handles, Facebook accts, & all kinds of digital signatures associated w this campaign. Should someone in law enforcement see this treasure trove of hate?
I appreciate the suggestion that I go to employers. A few weeks ago I sent some signed threats I received to the Manhattan Institute, where the harasser had once worked, and his name—Bill McGowan—was swiftly removed from their site.
What motivation besides homicidal racism and misogyny would drive someone to dehumanize Asian American women as temptations that required elimination by murder? latimes.com/opinion/story/…
George Floyd, detained for a negligible petty crime, got killed by police.
Robert Aaron Long, who confessed to multiple murders, got their sympathy.
Putting aside even the white supremacy: Maybe police are just terrible at their jobs.
24% of the apparent murderer’s HS classmates in Georgia identify as people of color. Why weren’t they asked about the his character?
They might not have seen his passion for guns & God as evidence he was a “nerd.” To them he might have seemed like a “murderer.”
Ditto women who knew him from his porn and massage haunts. The ones he murdered.
I’ve crossed the street to avoid men who look like Brett Kavanaugh & this guy for decades bc on the data they’re the only ones who have ever attacked me.
As long as it’s same-race same-sex cops & classmates who decide who’s dangerous & who’s a good Christian, we’re in trouble.
Nabokov’s best & creepiest con with Lolita (1955) was to make gruesome Humbert Humbert aspirational for provincial American men like Epstein & Allen. thedailybeast.com/inside-woody-a…
“You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style.”
Humbert signals at every turn that he’s nothing more than a depraved child rapist. But he’s also “a bronzed glamor boy.”
And the hotness, French phrases & prose tricks make American male readers swoon.
In 1934, Fitzgerald had written another child rapist in Tender is the Night. He was rich but broken & hateful. He was the villain of the book & he knew it.
Nicole Diver’s father:
I’m no Dr. Seuss. But if the right is worried about censorship they should speak out about the ceaseless campaigns against journalists that start at Fox News.
Like this one.
Sidebar: Not including this person’s IG handle because the last time I screenshot the whole thing, the guy —who signed his trolling white-power email with his phone #—called my employer in hysterics & said he was the victim because he’d been doxed. Then he called the cops on me.
This is how it goes. Starts with Gateway Pundit, hits Tucker, goes to the usual online clearinghouses, and then you’re getting hourly death & rape threats. For weeks.
