      No shit Sherlock, that’s the whole point of Stochastic Terrorism—your adherents read between the lines and do your dirty work for you while your hands stay clean.

      When your followers have a history of making violent threats against the people & organizations you point their attention towards, and you make no attempt to rein them in or change your own behavior, guess what? You’re complicit.

      You’re either ignorant, clueless, or a troll. Your pick.

      If everytime you posted about a school on social media, and shortly after that school received a bomb threat, don’t you think…just maybe…if you’re there to ACTUALLY protect kids, you’d ask people to stop, or stop posting about the schools? She hasn’t done either. That would make her complicit. She knows that her actions have these results, and she continues to post about them anyways. She wants people riled up.

      Probably think Charles Manson shouldn’t have been convicted too, huh? A person’s got to be intentionally obtuse to not see the connection.

      Should she be a co-defendant? That would be a pretty high bar of direct causality to prove, and I doubt it could ever be made. In a just world, would she be kicked off a platform for ToS violations? Well, she was once until pissbaby let her back on.
