Leave Andrew alone! Protest outside the Kaczynski home is something everyone should resist
As Twitchy reported, the #CNNBlackmail hashtag began to trend nationally after it looked likeCNNs Andrew Kaczynski had tracked down the creator of that Trump vs. CNN clip and promised him conditional anonymity CNN reserved the right to go public with his name “should he repeat this ugly social behavior.”
CNN source on the "reserve the right to publish" line: "Someone did it as a safeguard and it backfired" https://t.co/6CbpKM8MtW

BuzzFeed later talked to aCNN source who said the problematic “reserve the right to publish” line was added during the editing processas a safeguard, “and it backfired.”
It backfired in such a large way, in fact, that BuzzFeed noted “Kaczynski and his family are the subject of an ongoing harassment campaign,” and a protest outside Kaczynskis New York home had been announced.
Awful: CNN edited in the line as a precaution,now Kacynski is getting threats,will have protesters outside his house https://t.co/ubuTDlowxz pic.twitter.com/lPyuMlktOd

But seriously, folks: stuff like holding queer dance protests outside people’s houses is more progressives’ speed.
So now people are calling to protest outside Andrew Kaczynskis house? People have taken douchebaggery to a whole new level.

the only way I see myself fighting back like this if I was personally the target. I hate everything about this story but this is also creepy

Is there a zone between "this person is vile" and "this person is vile and their life should be ruined"? I say yes, and it's a giant zone.

I don't think CNN should ID/threaten the gif guy and I don't think people should harass Kaczynski.#confessyourunpopularopinions

If you're going to someone's house to protest, you're acting like the unhinged left. Everything is not political.
