The Carlson home attack: when poor education and the internet meld together

So much for being stewards of the American Republic.

. . . "The Twitter and Facebook accounts used to coordinate this assault and others are called “Smash Racism DC” and show that the claims Twitter and Facebook make about “community standards,” etc., are simply bullsh** window dressing to suppress conservative voices. There is no way a rightwing account that existed in order to dox leftwing celebrities and organize mob violence would have survived. But it took a near-home invasion of Carlson’s house to get Twitter to act. More evidence that these companies must start being held legally liable, as they clearly allied with one side in this drift to ritualized political violence." . . .  RedState

DC Police investigating Antifa mob attack on Tucker Carlson’s home as ‘hate crime’
. . . "Since this was an attempt to instill fear and change behavior with threats of violence, it seems to me that it falls under the definition of terroristic threat, which, I believe, is a more serious crime:

A terroristic threat is a crime generally involving a threat to commit violence communicated with the intent to terrorize another, to cause evacuation of a building, or to cause serious public inconvenience, in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience. It may mean an offense against property or involving danger to another person that may include but is not limited to recklessly endangering another person, harassment, stalking, ethnic intimidation, and criminal mischief.

"It may fall under federal jurisdiction:" . . .

Press silent about mob attacking Tucker Carlson's wife . . . . . . "This silence also gives license to the same mob to go after commentators who do not hate President Trump enough.
"The Bill of Rights is a pact between the two sides of the political spectrum. The agreement is one of mutual respect for rights. Once broken, we enable violence.
"I urge every talk show host on cable to condemn the mob, if only for self-preservation." . . .
