Violent Leftists vs Weaponized Autism
One YouTube channel I watch from time to time is “The Quartering.” TQ focuses on gaming and comics, neither of which I’m a particular aficionado of, but he covers them regarding cultural matters (specifically the rot of social justice), which I do care about. He made the choice of letting his face be clearly visible on his videos and his name is known.
So yesterday he went to GenCon in Indianapolis. Someone walked up to him in public, asked him if he was Jeremy, and, when he confirmed it… the guy started beating on him. It seems a concussion was delivered in the process.
Unfortunately the assault was apparently not caught on camera (though it won’t surprise me if security camera footage appears at some point). Fortunately, there were witnesses *and* the perp wore fairly distinctive apparel. And since the perp attacked a guy who knows how to make and upload videos *AND* has a sizable audience, very shortly after the fact… this happened:
The apparent criminal here is not just some random guy, but is an owner of a game company. A company that I think just bought a truckload of bad PR. I won’t name him or the company (because it could be mistaken ID), but they’re given in the video. The victim of the assault has made it clear he’s going to pursue all legal avenues. Good.
The perp was found due to a verbal description given in the earlier video, then a bunch of people going through a bunch of vids and photos from GenCon. Which makes me wonder Just How Frikken’ Stupid this guy had to be. Was booze involved? could be. But given what the crowd ha already found out about this guy, he was predisposed to violence against anyone not on the far left: the “punch Nazis” shirt is prima facia evidence of that. And you have to wonder what photos of the guy wearing a shirt where he advocates violence against regular people (because “Nazi” has been so over-used that that’s what the word means now) will do to the legal situation. It goes from being “oops, sorry, I was Teh Dronk. My bad” to “premeditated attempted murder.” And of course now it means that anyone wearing a “punch Nazis” shirt is automatically assumed to be in the process of planning or carrying out a violent assault.
Ever wonder why I don’t post clearly identifiable photos of myself? Hmmm. I wonder why that might be.
