Anti-GamerGate bomb threat
Fortunately for the world, I can assure everyone that the 8th Wonder of the World, Nero's hair, is safe:
I have multiple bombs planted around the area#GGinDC is being held in. If #GGinDC is not evacuated within the next hour, it will detonate.
A number of people seem to think Arthur Chu was somehow involved, but I find it difficult to believe that he could be that stupid.
The event began at 9:30 pm and the local bar appeared to be having a good time until approximately 11:30 pm when the local police received a report from an unknown source about a bomb threat at Local 16. The threat was made over Twitter according to the local police station. This led to an evacuation, which took place at approximately a quarter after midnight. Sources at the location that left prior to the evacuation say there was no knowledge of the threat prior to their departure at about 11:45 pm.This was the threat, which someone promptly archived:
The whole affair was initially run as a fire drill, and everyone was able to get out without much issue, allowing the police to search the premises afterwards. By all accounts and video footage, the people were all calm about the events as it was on going.
After the investigation was done, everyone was allowed back into the bar and, according to people at the event, there were several free rounds. There is no information on who made the threat, and anyone calling for investigations of particular people are being premature at this moment in time.

I doubt chu was involved, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he knows who made the bomb threat, and in knowing, becomes complicit after the fact.
Does GG get an ABC special, now? Something featuring Nero (accompanied by a generous number of fabulously dressed armed guards) and focused on his struggle against the violent homophobia that characterizes the life of a man loathed by the monstrous critics of Anti-GamerGate?
SJWs always end up doing people favors -
"Well, that was interesting," says the bartender. "Free rounds for everyone."
Perhaps he left copies of "If you were a dinosaur my love." around the site.

I keep saying this: they need to do an IPO. It would be one of the few public offerings of recent memory to actually be based in reality.
Wait, I thought making death threats was badthink and wrong...

You've got it all wrong. Making death threats is great as long as you take the screenshot after you hit "post."

Exactly. It's a matter of procedure, not principle.
Wait, I thought these guise were so super smart. Bomb threats over twitter? Really? And they couldn't even bother to look up the actual site?
If anyone can be bothered to care, they are so busted

Oh thank you, Kind Providence. For a moment, I was terrified.
Laziest. Threat. Ever. "Uh...yeah. I put bombs wherever you are at."
Ah, this kind of thing is still illegal right?? And criminal???
OR are there exceptions now for SJW's and well meaning (when are they not??) 'progressive' super heroes????
This demonstrates that SJW's can be dangerous. They are today's versions of past SJW's in Russia (the Bolsheviks), Germany (the Nazi's), Cambodia (the Kymer Rouge), and many others who committed mass murder because they were convinced they were morally justified in doing so. This is why normal people must be wary of SJW's, just as we are wary of dangerous animals.
@223366
It's telling that this b0mb threat was made by someone who used the surname of one of the worst NKVD bosses.
Wait a minute? SJWs are like Nazis? Like Khmer Rouge? That's what I'm arguing against in this group - the xenophobia.
I cannot condone the ideas of anybody who thinks they are superior to a group of people whom they consider as lesser (like Nazis did to Jews, and like Khmer Rouge did to the Chinese and Vietnamese).
If these SJWs exist, I might need to find them and try to argue with them.
There's no xenophobia in those statements, Owen. He's making a literal argument. SJW philosophy is a branch of Marxist philosophy. Every time a group with Marxist philosophy has gained power it has resulted in mass murder, just like the Nazis, Khmer Rouge and Mao. If you'd like to find out more, do a search for cultural marxism.
I'm a right winger actually, and no supporter of Marxism. But I'd probably be more properly defined as a moderate, as I do not trust groups who espouse xenophobic views.
Maybe I'm an ethical subjectivist. At any rate, I'm opposed to what I view as toxic cognitivism.
But back on topic: the bomb threat seems to be desperation borne of idiocy. The sign of a mad and sadistic need to win at all costs.
Believe me, the last thing the SJWs ought to want is for this to become a shooting war.
Is "ethical subjectivist" a euphemism for attention whore?
@Edd Jobs
"attention whore?"
I'll let you be the judge if that name suits me.
While you're considering that, may I refer you to this post about SJWs, which talks about how they like to call names and attach labels.
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/rockbeyondbelief/2013/11/06/what-the-social-justice-warriors-need-to-understand/
The article dismisses SJW tactics including "naming-and-shaming; throwing around labels like “MRA”, “misogynist”, “chill girl” and “harasser” at the drop of a hat..."
It also goes on to state how SJWs "freely condone remarks such as telling people you disagree with to “die in a fire” or [much worse invective omitted here]..”
It then states the futility of such actions as "attacking ... over trivial things, like a poorly worded tweet or ... calling them names like “f*ckwit”, and claiming absolute moral superiority over them"
So I'm glad I'm not a SJW, and I'm glad that the behavior here is far more civilized.
Edd Jobs =thread winner
BTW, Owen,
You still have refused to answer the question.
What specific thing Vox has said do you find objectionable?
Why is it false
@ 223366 ~ The past SJWs in Germany were Jews and Bolsheviks--not Nazis. But nice try.
Maybe I'm an ethical subjectivist. At any rate, I'm opposed to what I view as toxic cognitivism.
Do explain.
I tried to answer, Danby. I wrote a big long reply. Vox immediately afterward told me to be quiet, and then deleted that reply. It's his blog, so if he feels it's fair to delete messages that were written prior to his warning to be quiet, then it happens that way.
I could try again... it's not that I'm unwilling to discuss ideas. That's my goal here.
@Laguna Beach
Thank you. That's my point. SJWs cannot possibly be the Nazis, can they? If we're going to use that analogy, then the Nazis in today's conflict are... gasp...
I have no problem at all with the idea that Arthur Chu made the bomb threat. None at all after reading Allum's article at Breitbart. Chu is letting his emotions run wild, and it is clouding his thinking. I guess the days where republicans backed down in the face of leftist hysterics is just about done. Chu can't bear what that means at all.
Glad everybody is safe.
Owen,
Surely you know that "Nazis" refers to the National SOCIALIST Party? Check out the book "Liberal Fascism". There is a link to the left (no pun intended) under Voxiversity.
An example of The First Law of Social Justice: "It's OK when they do it."
If you are right wing, Owen, and still haven't discovered an SJW...you are doing right wrong.
Very wrong.
@D. Lane
Nothing deep... just keeping on the side of cognivitism, because it fits better with my "blank-slate" ideals, so that equality can be considered through a wider lens. Observing behavior may lead to assumptions that are supported empirically. But we're not animals, and you cannot neglect cognition. Nor deny it... and thus the toxic qualifier.
@Owen: We're not animals? What are we, minerals? You just may be a vegetable, I don't have enough information yet to know. But I am an animal, as is every human I know.
There's a good essay (well, a good part of an essay) in "Day of the Tyrant", "There Will Be War IV".
It deals with psyops; it is by Stefan Possony (who has been mentioned here before). One of the points which Possony raises is how Lenin mastered the tactic. Lenin's psyops had three facets: theory, agitation, and organisation.
#GamerGate has a theory (ethics, without regard for fashion) and it believes in this theory, and so cannot be told that the theory is wrong. Possony points out that "the target cannot be persuaded to listen". So, the SJWs are SOL on that front.
What Chu did here was agitation: an outsider's act to disrupt the possibility of a #GamerGate meeting.
Organisation == entryism. So, #GamerGate's next step should probably be to keep an eye out for concern-trolls.
"You haven't been swatted for shedding on the couch lately, have you?"
I think you mean "manspreading" not shedding. Don't spread your legs too much Owen while riding the Tube over there. Its uncouth and you know, sexist.
Centre right, indeed.
I'm considered quite right wing in my area...
What, you showed up fashionably late to Take Back the Night?
Vox ... told me to be quiet, and then deleted that reply.
Sometimes Vox likes to let the Ilk have their own fun. Leave the toys out, one might say. Get in some practice. Besides, it's a slow day here.
O.T. but this is from the Greensboro News and Record: the filth are going to try to start riots in Greensboro. Maybe there is more than just rumor to the belief that that whore's son Sotero wants to nationalize the police. And the local rag is co-operating.
Chu's over-the-top moral preening just says to me that he's trying to cover for having a massive collection of the nastiest, vilest hardcore porno, or a history of sending ladies pics of his dingus.
A number of people seem to think Arthur Chu was somehow involved, but I find it difficult to believe that he could be that stupid.
We should probably nominate him for the Unwitting Minions Brigade anyway, just in case.
So, #GamerGate's next step should probably be to keep an eye out for concern-trolls.
True, but I have a feeling a lot of GG folks already have a fair deal of experience with concern-trolls. In some ways, GG is like a MRSA infection from the SJW standpoint. The bacteria have been exposed to antibiotics for so long, at this point they're pretty much immune.
Owen, no one cares about your opinion about xenophobia.
And didn't Vox tell you to shut up?
And btw, shut up.
Scoobius, I said shut up. All you want to do is talk about yourself, which is of no interest to anyone here. Get your own blog and do it there.
What's Chu's deal? I know he was on Jeopardy but was he an SJW before or did money allow him to release his inner leftoid?
@Owen,
I saw you response, and it did not answer the question. You did not specify any particular statement made by Vox and you did not say why you found it to be false. You did leave verbal diarrhea on the page about what you call fairness and how anyone who disagrees with you is grinding the cognitively-unequal masses under our iron boot heel, or some such nonsequitur, but you did not answer the question.
What specific statement of Vox did you find objectionable?
Why is it false?
Not a 500-word essay on why you believe in things like fairness, that don't actually exist in this world. Not an attempt to paint anyone who disagrees with you on the matter as some sort of wanna-be Hitler.
What did he say?
Why is it false?
You know how you tried to read Aristotle's Rhetoric, and you got lost in the sea of ideas you are unfamiliar with, and gave up. This is what he was talking about. This is dialectic. This is reason. This is logic. Clear, plain statements. direct answers, not one word about how you feel about the matter. It's how men talk. You should try it.
Vox, please allow Owen to actually answer the question posed. I understand he's gotten beyond tedious into annoying, and beyond that into infuriating. Still, he needs to answer the question.
Or am I aspying again?
Sorry but I'm confused. Is Owen Scooby using another handle or is Owen a separate midwit who thinks he's clever?
True, but I have a feeling a lot of GG folks already have a fair deal of experience with concern-trolls. In some ways, GG is like a MRSA infection from the SJW standpoint. The bacteria have been exposed to antibiotics for so long, at this point they're pretty much immune.
Another thing that has helped is Vox showing us how to identify Gamma males. I mean seriously... are there any concern trolls that have shown up here lately who aren't Gammas?
It's worth considering third parties. SJWs may be beyond reach, but we need to maintain moral superiority to win neutrals to our side.
And SJWs making bomb threats is a help to our cause.
Give him one more chance, why not.

Laziest. Threat. Ever. "Uh...yeah. I put bombs wherever you are at."
I don't know why bomb threats were ever taken seriously. Still, threats against GG have now seen more police response than the supposed rape and death threats against aGG.
If Owen is Scoobius or another regular who should know better, I submit that we should all go to his house and beat him to death with socks full of oranges. There aren't enough real trolls already, that we need normal people to play troll for their own amusement? What the fuck is that?
And SJWs making bomb threats is a help to our cause.
Not so sure. Try to see this from the KKK's point of view. (I'm going to get to why.)
The problem is that SJWs have been running a drumbeat about #gamergate is hate, #gamergate harasses women, #gamergate makes death threats. And they do this in forums where they're not challenged, because challenging the claim is either abusive (you called X a liar!) or - for those with better selfcontrol - sealioning (you are not doing this in good faith!).
A compliant media will then cover for the SJWs and, of course, censor their own comments.
In the meantime, business-owners pay attention to who are getting the threats and who is on their side. If a #gamergate sympathiser like, oh, I assume, Breivik bombed a bar it would get solved. If a SJW did it, maybe it wouldn't get solved. THAT would depend on where it happened. Who was the DA in the area. Did any bystanders get affected.
The whole leadup to this was to condition the public to see #gamergate as the KKK. #gamergate is, obviously, NOT the KKK. But, to those who have a business to run, that won't matter.
OTO - How are the SJW's and leftists not the NAZI's? There is very little difference in their tactics and their ultimate goals.
I'll have to respond another day. This is twice (on several threads) that Vox has told me to be quiet.
He thinks I'm Scoobius, however, which is something I'm not familiar with, so I did miss the fact that one of his earlier warnings was for me. Lately it's been quite clear, though. So I'll come back another day.

Anyone else notice that Otter forgot the Jewish Bolsheviks at the Holodomor?
Your sons and daughters in the basement hide
Their coming now over the horizon
In numbers over-whelming; our last stand
The battle begins and we choose our side
The noise is deafening, windows explode
Down goes your brother with a mortal wound
The house is surrounded, but the fight goes on
Fire one for my brother, whom I’ll see real soon
Their flag was my flag, not long ago
Their land was my land, we all thought so
Then came the day when they knocked it all down
Crime, corruption, chaos without much sound
They killed my country
Stole my life and my liberty
Things my children shall never see
Then they came for me
No time for crying, I need my guns
There’s so many, must arm my sons
I won’t go down quietly
I will water that tree of liberty
The only way this could get better is if the vocal SJW's start pointing fingers and screaming "false flag!" about the bomb threat. Especially after their public attempts to disrupt the meetup by contacting local 16.
That would put them squarely into the tinfoil hat conspiracy theory zone and offer buckets of opportunities to ridicule them.
is if the vocal SJW's start pointing fingers and screaming "false flag!" about the bomb threat
They haven't done that yet? They're slipping.
Even though it was only a threat and not an actual bomb if the lefties are that spooked it means GG is on the right track. That the usual sjw tactics have failed.
And thank G-d Milo's glorious hair is safe.
Tangential and cool besides - we don't fight alone:
Video Surfaces of Christians Singing ‘Who Makes Nations Tremble?’ at Moment Earthquake Rocked Nepal
Poor Guy:
There music to go with those words? Sounds like something that could be sung in a deep voice to a western theme.
"The moment has led to both sides of the Internet dispute agreeing on something at least – bomb threats are wrong no matter who they are on. That I think is something we can all agree with."
Oh, I don't know about that. The left has repeatedly demonstrated that they believe the ends justify the means. I don't know why the right feels compelled to view them in the same way that they view themselves.
Sure it's true. SJWs think that they are wrong on them because it causes then fear and discomfort, and they are wrong on right-wingers because hey, if you have bombs, blow them up, don't friggin' WARN them.
Mene- I just write what came to me, and I can't write music.

This is why moderates suck. They rather be shooting at their "allies" and wasting brain cycles then engage the enemy, or at least get out of the way.
The enemy has sounded their horns, marshaled their troops, carved out territory, and now, at long last, the counter attack has begun on multiple fronts, and instead of cheering on our side, the moderates such as ScOwen would rather busy themselves with sticking knives in the backs of the troops facing the enemy by insisting the enemy isn't the enemy. No, that's some other group. No, not the enemy.
Bah.

Owen T. Oloren: Get your basic facts straight. The Khmer Rouge did nothing to the Chinese or Vietnamese. They murdered Cambodians.
Wait. I just realized the statement from the pseudo-bomber sounds a lot like something "Owen" would say. You know, wild eyed and self regarding and contradictory and divorced from reality.
Fess up, "Owen".
It will go better for you in the long run.
The Khmer Rouge did nothing to the Chinese or Vietnamese. They murdered Cambodians.
The all rook same-same.
Discard, not wanting to be nitpicky or a troll, but...
Re the Khmer Rouge, besides the Cambodians, who constituted the great majority of their victims, the KR killed or expelled the expat Chinese community, which was quite large, in the 100s of thousands, and the significant number of Vietnamese residents as well, besides every other sort of ethnic minority. And then in the truly mad (well, it goes without saying, about the KR in general) policy of poking the already hostile communist Vietnamese, the KR invaded Vietnamese border provinces and made an attempt at ethnic cleansing in their usual way. The reaction to which ultimately led to the Vietnamese invasion and the end of the regime, something that killing their own people did not do.
So killing Chinese and Vietnamese was indeed on the roll of their crimes.
The all rook same-same.
LOL, sir.

Noah B: Laziest. Threat. Ever. "Uh...yeah. I put bombs wherever you are at."
I don't know why bomb threats were ever taken seriously
It's CYOB, which is perhaps the prime motive of politicians and LE everywhere. If a bomb did go off and they ignored the threat, there would be hell to pay.
Tomorrow's MSM headline: Gun Violence Claims Lives of Two Dallas-Area Art Critics
buwaya puti: I stand corrected. Still, to write of the KR's incidental treatment of the minorities within Cambodia as if that were their major fault is a little dizzying. Expelling unwanted minorities is normal, killing a quarter or more of their own people is what distinguished the KR from all other crazies. Had they done no more than drive out the foreigners, we'd have heard no more of them. Who, in America, remembers the Pathet Lao?
They really invaded Vietnam? Double stupid SJW.
LOL Noah B: Well-said and doubtless accurate!

I hate to break this to you, but I'm pretty sure that's not how you make "blood orange" flavor orange juice. :-\
No question that the KR were in an elite class of evil and crazy.
Still, if ALL they did was murder the ethnic minorities they are known to have, they still would have a place in the genocide hall of fame, as the usual estimates just for these non-ethnic-Cambodians runs to 200k+.
I'm only just catching up on the comment threads over the past few days. I wouldn't be surprised if Owen were scoobius. They both appear to enjoy doing overly complicated word games for "gotchas" while feigning complete politeness and moral high ground.
Back on topic, yeah a lot of people seem to think Arthur Chu is in on it, because he'd been ranting on for a while when the meetup was announced. Apparently he even called the bar they were planning on meeting up at and tried to convince the owner that they were so bad, evil, etc that they can't allow them patronage.
So, motive, I think means can be debated, and history. Circumstantial evidence at best however, I think.
Apologies for the double post, but I wonder if scoobius thinks he's being a big damn hero when he took on the challenge of being a "better troll". Except he isn't, it's not even a higher class of troll if he is, and it's just a waste of time on everyone's part.
People get convicted and sentenced to life in prison all the time on circumstantial evidence. As someone mentioned, it's reasonable to suspect Chu knows who did it, even if he didn't have the balls to do it himself. Or maybe he did!
I'll have to respond another day. This is twice (on several threads) that Vox has told me to be quiet.
He thinks I'm Scoobius, however, which is something I'm not familiar with, so I did miss the fact that one of his earlier warnings was for me. Lately it's been quite clear, though. So I'll come back another day.
@Owen
Art thou familiar with the concept of "IP addresses"?
I just love it how trolls play dumb when they're busted for using dupe accounts. Rancid Vagina did the same thing a few weeks ago.
(shakin' mah haid)
Speaking of bomb threats, you heard about what happened in Texas with Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer's draw Mouhammed event?
http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2015/05/03/officer-and-two-suspects-down-in-gunfight-at-islamic-cartoon-contest-in-texas-possible-explosives-found/
'They' will detonate. THEY. Bombs = plural.
Also, the first sentence ends in a preposition. Must be an American college grad.
Can't write a sentence but imagines the ability to maintain anonymity.
It's like fishing in one of those little stocked trout ponds they used to have roadside. Toss out a bit of bait and you're sure to catch something.
Once upon a time 2 terrorists came to Texas. bang, bang. Enjoy your stay.
US Rep Gohmert and Geert Wilders were there too I think.
Tonight, here in North Texas, a "Draw Muhammad" cartoon competition in Garland exploded into violence. A private security guard standing post near the front door of a convention facility was shot by one of two "protestors" who pulled up in a car and opened up on him from inside. Said "protestors" were then themselves shot and killed by Garland PD officers. Now they've got the robots going over the car looking for explosives.
Ah, diversity!
lol "protesters"... oh man! rofl
For info, the bar was evacuated following a phoned in bomb threat not because of the semi-illiterate tweet. Hopefully more info will become available as the police reports are made public.
Even Chu isn't stupid enough to phone it in himself, but someone dumb enough to follow the reprehensible creatures scamming the broken fools in anti-#GamerGate probably would.They need a big slap in the face with responsibility
Lets see if the doxa has such a strong hold on current affairs it gets pushed under the rug. Very interested in hearing further developments.
buwaya puti: 200,000+ dead is not enough to get you into the big leagues of genocide. Didn't Sukarno of Indonesia kill that many Chinese in 1965? How many did Vietnam or Laos kill after 1975? Ruanda, Nigeria, and I think Uganda have all far surpassed that mark, as have other places I can't recall, no doubt.
No, I don't think that anybody else would recall the the Khmer Rouge were it not for their auto-genocide. A terrible world where 200K corpses gets no more than an honorable mention, but I think there's more to come.
No way that Chu could possibly be as stupid as to actually be linked to bomb threat itself, though if we want to pull a card out of the anti GG book, its very plausible to suggest that he helped inspire the fellow who actually made the threats.
I hate to ask this, but are we sure this wasn't a false flag. When it comes to lacking the moral high ground - which antiGG has always done for us - this bomb threat is their coup de grace. It feels almost too good to be true.
Yes, bomb threats should be taken seriously and perhaps not "celebrated" as a revelation of just how devious anti GG are, but it is finally something that the media can't exactly play off.
"After the investigation was done, everyone was allowed back into the bar and, according to people at the event, there were several free rounds."
Free rounds at a bar in DC. Now that's where the real story is. That's even better then getting free rounds on the house in a bar in Chicago on a weekend - which never happens.

Pretty close, the Guardian headline is "Texas attack on Muhammad cartoon event rattles Muslim community." Goodness, we wouldn't want Muslims rattled now would we.
I guess I'm the sucker for bothering to check how ridiculously anti-core the G's headlines are. It's sort of like a car wreck, I just can't look away.
If you are still in doubt as to how militant the Feminist agenda actually is, read Valerie Solanas' 'SCUM'. These women are whores of Babylon from the pits of hell, and yes, they don't give a damn if they have to blow up a building to "smash the patriarchy".

I do trust that Vox won't be doxxing anybody (looked that up too), but I'm not Scoobius. I have never visited this blog prior to a few days ago, and I have never used any other name to post here other than this one (with the nifty pun).
