So now, of course, the CNN reporter (Andrew Kaczynski) is being threatened, and so is his family.

A CNN reporter is facing harassment, death threats, and a potential protest at his house after he wrote a story that did not name a Reddit user who created a GIF posted by Donald Trump but suggested he might publish the user’s identity if their social media behavior changed.

Social media personality and alt-right commentator Mike Cernovich is among those leading the charge against the reporter, Andrew Kaczynski, saying on Twitter, “We are coming for you.”

See? This isn’t a joke. It isn’t fun and games. It isn’t legitimate free speech. It’s a form of terrorism.

Earlier in the day, Cernovich said that “sources” had told him they had planned a protest in front of Kaczynski’s house. An address that reportedly belongs to Kaczynski has been widely spread on Twitter, along with Kaczynski’s phone numbers and information about his spouse, siblings, and parents.

Because Kaczynski and CNN did not do that to HanAssholeSolo, but implied they might if he continued doing…the kind of bullying and terrorizing people are now committing against Kaczynski. Heads they win tails we lose.

Tweets about Kaczynski vary wildly, with some castigating him for his perceived offense while others advocate physical violence against him and CNN in general. Kaczynski’s now-infamous piece tracked down the identity of the Reddit user, HanAssholeSolo, who claims to have created Donald Trump’s anti-CNN wrestling GIF.

They get to call for violence against us. We don’t get to point out the people calling for violence against us.

Something amiss here.
