Explication, from Charles Johnson at LGF:
The news of the morning is that sociopathic stalker Chuck C. Johnson has finally crossed the line again, and been suspended from Twitter for the fourth time.
The reason this time: he posted what many construe as a threat to black activist DeRay McKesson [soliciting donations ‘if you want to give money to taking out @deray’]…
Was it a serious threat of violence? Chuck will no doubt argue that he was only talking about writing about McKesson. But it needs to be pointed out that Chuck has built a significant following on Twitter of the worst kinds of people — neo-Nazis, white supremacists and right wing extremists of all kinds. He uses the language of violence in a very calculated way, to incite these crazy people against his targets. And Chuck’s targets are: women who report being raped or harassed, black activists and victims of police violence, and anyone who criticizes him publicly…
Click the link for full details. And remember: hate speech + online crazies = dead people.
I’d ask the Trickster God that ChuckC and James O’Keefe get involved in a duel to the death, but given their histories the only actual victims would be innocent passers-by.

I’ve been following LGF’s chronicling of the CCJ horrorshow. It’s morbidly fascinating, watching a guy crack apart, day by day, on the intertubes. Charles C. Johnson is very damaged in some way, and I’d feel bad for him were he not a twisted, vicious, thoroughly despicable fellow. He says he’s “on the spectrum,” which he may well be … but then, he also claims to have an IQ of 150, so there’s that.

Now we’ll see if Twitter means what they say about taking threats seriously. Of course, the Rage Furby will probably claim he was drunk-Tweeting.

The ginger furby will be back; he always manages to get Twitter to let him back in, then implies he’s gonna go after them legally for “unfairly” suspending him.
As much as I like twitter, they in fact have a big problem with this sort of thing; a few weeks ago is was rape/death threats from the Chris Kyle (American Sniper) fan club against Abby Martin. These are just two from a stream of other threats (e.g., the GamerGate crap) on twitter that have made it feel very unsafe for lots of folks, usually women, but other ‘Others’ as well.

@Howard Beale IV: That, he does not want.

@sharl: Can’t see what legal justification he has to sue Twitter. This is now his fourth suspension, and Twitter made a recent statement that they are going to start cracking down on abusive/threatening behavior.
To me, this will be Twitter’s ‘Put your money where your mouth is’ moment. He can’t operate without Twitter, and he knows it.

In other Shitbirds on Twitter news, last night an ABC news producer in California issued several tweets about wanting the police to shoot protestors in Oakland. By this AM he was fired. He deleted his account after people were uncivil enough that his initial comments and response to people who complained, sucked. But you can see the originals here.

Hilarity! From John Hinderaker, the latest #BENGHAZI #CLINTONEMAIL scoop:
Hahahahaha! All this time later, they’re finally going to own up to the fact that they can’t tie any Benghazi malfeasance to Obama or Clinton. Since there isn’t any.
The actual point he makes in the post is decent enough, as it’s about how screwed up Libya is. Of course, the right couldn’t attack O&C for Libya at the time, since there were few Republicans (maybe Rand Paul) who were criticizing the policy as it was happening. They kept assuming the Benghazi thing would eventually bear political fruit. Now they’re going back to a valid critique… which nobody on the right was making at the time. Cute!
But I just loved the shrugging off of 30 months of BENGHAZI!! shriekings with a quick “per se“. Amazing.

Although TBH anybody who repeatedly mentions their IQ is probably either cherry-picking or quite far along on the spectrum. Or lying.

@Hungry Joe:
Autism spectrum or sociopath spectrum? I suspect the latter but assuming it’s the former…
1. If you truly are far enough on the autism spectrum that you have seriously impaired social skills and trouble functioning, seek professional help. Seriously – there are therapists for this.
1a. If you lack the money for therapists you have my sympathies but that doesn’t seem to be CCJ’s problem.
2. If you’re on the autism spectrum but it’s mild and you learned to cope then why are you using it as an excuse?
Also, people on the autism spectrum have a hard time in life so would people stop claiming they are on the spectrum just to get away with bad behavior? It makes life tougher for those who really are on the spectrum.

2. “Never mind me, I’m a mindless sociopath” is a shitty excuse.
In my experience people on the lower half of the spectrum feel awful when they accidentally hurt somebody else. There’s even a theory that an extreme surplus of empathy may lead to the shutting-down that happens on the upper half of the spectrum. Shruggles.

The dude has some serious issues that he may think manifest as harmless, but to other people, it looks kinda scary.

Tissue Thin Pseudonym
@Crouchback:
No, actually, there aren’t. There are almost no therapists out there specialized in treating adults with high functioning autism. When I wanted to see one, it was a six month wait and when I got in, I found that he was almost useless. If you are diagnosed with autism as an adult, you’re pretty much on your own.
Further, define “far enough along the spectrum.” Despite the use of the term “spectrum,” it is not in any sense linear, with it getting worse the “farther along” one is. I barely have some autistic symptoms at all and others are fully developed. Hence, the response I’m inclined to give to:
is that I don’t think you really know much about the topic. “Learn to cope” is not some sort of fix-all. If you are diagnosed as an adult, what it probably means is that you developed a bunch of ad hoc coping mechanisms without having any idea what you were doing. They in no way resemble a coherent plan for dealing with autism and they in no way mean that you don’t still have problems trying to interact with people.
None of that has much to do with Charles C. Johnson, who goes beyond abrasive into outright threatening. Even if he is autistic, there comes a point where someone is sufficiently dangerous that they shouldn’t be tolerated no matter what the origin of their issues is.
