Thread on doxxing Geary Danley, a man who was not involved in the Vegas shooting. https://t.co/MwS1S9bT36
So, spare me of any argument on why your doxxing is justified.

Doxxing is wrong.

The stories about people who have been misidentified barely make the news, but it ruins lives and makes people fear for the safety.

What’s sad is that none of you even care.
Feel free to continue attacking me though. Watching the lies evolve has been somewhat entertaining. 😂

More from Legal

More severe police injuries and deaths on that one day of rampaging Trumpers than in five years of Anti-Police protests.


You can tell a lot about the stance of a angry crowd by whether they come with shields or pitchforks.

If people protesting police brutality for years had wanted to use their large numbers to attack, maim and kill police, they damn well could have.

But they came to resist police.

Which is completely different.

Why did the police suffer more at the hands of those who claimed to support them and waved their flags than at the hands of those who think they should be defunded or abolished?

Because one group is literally arguing for human dignity and the other glorifies violence.

The people who uncritically support police brutality are those who believe that instrumental violence should be a standard tool in response to those standing opposed to you.

Once you accept that... WHO is standing opposed to you doesn't matter much.
