So a reporter for a major national newspaper went on TV to discuss his theories that Russian hackers influenced the outcome of the US presidential election, and that night he himself was seriously injured in a malicious attack by an unknown party, using only their computer and modem.
And I don't know about you guys, but I first read about this news on my handheld computing device which is constantly connected to the 'net no matter where I am, and capable of streaming high-definition realtime video.
This reaffirms my earlier theory that 2016 is the most cyberpunk year ever.

Eichenwald's behavior is indicative of the widespread meltdown/mental breakdown that's happening to the left. They feel that their world has crashed down around them. They are more depressed & neurotic than they have ever been before. And that's saying a lot.
We laugh at the "liberal tears" — as well we should — but there is some real suffering taking place in the hearts and minds of those who supported the liberal fantasy for so long.
It likely won't end well for them, it will probably only get worse.

I think he's lying.
The time frame on the tweets is pretty tight to be dealing with cops and an er visit.
Also, like Silver tube said above, there's apps and actual filters you put on whatever screen you are using if you have epilepsy. They put info like this in the ipad instructions when they give them to school kids.
If this was the second time this has happened that's just stupid.

If a suit is actually filed, I'd love to see the doctor's report in discovery. Wouldn't surprise me if there were little to no indications of a seizure. This is just more attention whoring just like the Muslim woman claiming Trump supporters attacked her after it was found out she was out past her curfew and has an authoritarian father. With all of these cases involving SJWs, your first order of business is to sow seeds of doubt as to their statements. They cannot be taken at face value!

When I first read this and the dude's reaction I couldn't stop laughing. Excellent trolling and melt down. 10/10

Ghetto alt-right meme-gangsta prepares for drive-by giffing.

I hate to bring up the Spencer thing again since it's only tangentially related, but this kind of shit perfectly illustrates the difference between doing alt-right (For lack of a better word) shit in real life versus on the internet.
If an anti-semete broke into the home of Newsweek's senior editor and sent him sprawling to the floor with a punch the night after said editor denounced Trump, it would be national news for weeks. It would completely and totally dominate the conversation. Eichenwald would be a hero in the same vein as Harvey Milk. It would be a devastating hit to the alt-right in general, and quite possibly mean the end of the movement.
A guy named @jew_goldstein posting a seizure-inducing .gif has the EXACT SAME EFFECT (Sending Eichenwald to the floor in extreme pain) but everyone who's talking about it is laughing at him. Instead of being a brave hero fighting for what he believes in, Eichenwald is a joke, ranting about evil twitter Nazis. He'll likely never recover from this.
And that's why you should keep the edgy stuff online, and not take it into the real world.

Well, there is the issue of GBH. Physical altercations are very different to words typed over the internets. However in the UK people have been arrested, fined or sent to prison for what they put on the web.
I'm sure some UK judge could make it look like an assault.

Well that's 2 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. His rant about the secret message from the CIA at the end made it worth watching though.

That interview though:
Look, I'd tell you, if you'd just let me answer the question. it's not fair to treat people like this. I would like to answer your question if you'd just let me. Know what I have here? I have a folder full of blank pages. Do you like that huh? Do you really want to play this game? Let me answer the question holy cow! Is this what you do? Is this how you treat people? I can't believe it, now can I answer your question or will you not let me answer your question? Come on, remember that folder huh? It's right here you know. Now will you let me answer your question?
I hope that clears everything up.

This is the schlemiel who during the entire Trump campaign viciously attacked Trump and his supporters, kept claiming he had "sources" i.e. the Clinton campaign, who were going to release a bombshell to him that would destroy Trump, and tried to paint the alt right as Neo Nazis and Trump supporters as stupid and ignorant.
Now he's the victim.
