Was evacuated due to a bomb thread at my Planet Fitness. I think there has been a total of six phone threats made in the last week here in Jacksonville.

Candace Owens should be arrested for inciting terrorism.

Her punishment should be forced labor at Planet Fitness.

"following a social media campaign promoting a boycott of the chain led by the Libs of TikTok group."

Has Libs of TikTok announced the date for KristallFitnessNacht yet, or are they still working out the logistics?

... Libs of TikTok ...

Libs of TikTok
en.wikipedia.org
... Libs of TikTok is a handle for various far-right[a] and anti-LGBT[b] social-media accounts operated by Chaya Raichik (/xj' ratk/ KHAH-y' RY-chik),[10] a former real estate agent.[11][12][13]

Raichik uses the accounts to repost content created by left-wing and LGBT people on TikTok, and on other social-media platforms, often with hostile, mocking, or derogatory commentary.[14][15]

The accounts promote hate speech and transphobia, and spread false claims, especially relating to medical care of transgender children.[16][14][17][18] The Twitter account, also known by the handle @LibsofTikTok, has nearly 3 million followers as of February 2024[19][20] and has become influential among American conservatives and the political right.[12][15][21]

Libs of TikTok's social-media accounts have received several temporary suspensions and a permanent suspension from TikTok.[22][23][24][25]

Some Libs of TikTok posts have resulted in harassment against teachers, medical providers, children's hospitals, libraries, LGBT venues,[12][26][27][28] and educational facilities, several of which having received bomb threats after being featured on a post.[29][30]

Libs of TikTok posts regularly slur LGBT people, as well as those who provide mental-health services to LGBT youth and LGBT sex education to students, as "groomers".[c]

Its followers "routinely attack individuals whose content is shared",[22] and several dozen incidents of online or real-life threats and harassment against a range of targets, including 21 bomb threats, have been linked to Libs of TikTok's tweets, especially those where Raichik singles out specific events, locations or people.[33][34][30] ...

Wasn't there a Libs_of_DR alias around in these parts recently?

@#7

Messed up the formatting.

The "Wasn't there a Libs_of_DR alias around in these parts recently?" comment is mine, not WikiPedia's.

(I'm tending to a data server RAID array with a bad disk drive. Currently resilvering ... )

How interesting that the account is operated by Chaya Raichik, a rabid, genocide-supporting Zionist.

Gee, there must be a correlation in there somewhere.

Yep. Definitely a sockpuppet account for someone who was inspired by Chaya Raichik to troll liberals.

Unfortunately for them they weren't as good of a troll as Chaya Raichik is.

This is just who Republicans are.

We should really stop pretending otherwise.

What a moral authority! I mean an average R loves Jesus and the USA more than the rest of us. We should all act like them (and hate all things different than the small group that they exist in).

Stochastic terrorism.

When your party has become a cult of angry violent morons, anywhere the cult leaders focus their fake anger is at risk of attack.

Maybe the FBI should also investigate her junk in the trunk, and that face, which can stop clocks and cause dogs to bark...
