How CNN found the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF
Communist News Network ^ | July 4, 2017 | Andrew Kaczynski

Posted on 07/04/2017 7:28:39 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

(CNN) The Reddit user who initially claimed credit for President Donald Trump's tweet that showed Trump tackling CNN issued an apology Tuesday for the video and other offensive content he posted -- one day after CNN identified the man behind the account and attempted to make contact with him.

Reddit user "HanA**holeSolo" first shared the GIF last Wednesday of Trump pummeling a wrestler with CNN's logo imposed on his face. CNN could find no earlier instance of the GIF. The GIF was later edited into a video with sound and tweeted by the President on Sunday. On Reddit, "HanA**holeSolo" took credit for inspiring the tweet. Soon after, "HanA**holeSolo's" other posts on Reddit, some of which included racist and anti-Semitic imagery, quickly circulated on social media.

Now the user is apologizing, writing in a lengthy post on Reddit that he does not advocate violence against the press and expressing remorse there and in an interview with CNN for other posts he made that were racist and anti-Semitic.

At the moment, #CNNBlackmail is the number one trending hashtag on Twitter.

I have it on good authority that a whole buncha CNN employees have already been doxxed.

Including nearly all their illegal alien janitorial staff.

Hope they like emptying their own dammmmmed trash cans!

Excellent find! The relevant text =>

A person is guilty of coercion in the second degree when he or she compels or induces a person to engage in conduct which the latter has a legal right to abstain from engaging in, or to abstain from engaging in conduct in which he or she has a legal right to engage, or compels or induces a person to join a group, organization or criminal enterprise which such latter person has a right to abstain from joining, by means of instilling in him or her a fear that, if the demand is not complied with, the actor or another will:

1. Cause physical injury to a person;  or
2. Cause damage to property;  or
3. Engage in other conduct constituting a crime;  or
4. Accuse some person of a crime or cause criminal charges to be instituted against him or her;  or
5. Expose a secret or publicize an asserted fact, whether true or false, tending to subject some person to hatred, contempt or ridicule;

CNN did this to themselves. They had a choice, and chose poorly.

About an hour ago, 4chan/pol posted screen shots of KFIle Andrew Kaczynski’s computer...a listing of videos...he’s got one on how to watch porn on your XBox.

That tidbit has already appeared in his twitter feed....the feed as a whole is a delight to read...

CNN specifically violated § 135.60 of the New York criminal code "coercion".

That's worth its own thread. It looks like the text doesn't leave CNN any wiggle room.

Man, I just read the CNN article. Holy Crap. It’s like a Viet Cong General getting a statement from a POW.

WTF is wrong with them?

Vietnam was a great victory for the left.

They are merely reliving good times, goooooood times...

ROFL!!!!!! The best is the picture with a guy sitting at a desk with his foot up. His head is the CNN logo, and he’s holding a .44 magnum. It appears he has just shot a hole in his foot. ROFL!!!!! That is an all time classic.

Oh my sides...can’t stop laughing....someone’s edited Kaczynski’s wiki page...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Kaczynski

Key info under photo:

Occupation
FAKE Reporter, Bully, Extortionist, Blackmail Artist

First paragraph now reads:

Andrew Kaczynski (November 30, 1989[1]) is an “american journalist” and a FAKE reporter for the Counterfeit News Network (CNN).[2] He became well known in 2017 by threatening to dox a Reddit user for making a meme of Donald Trump clotheslining CNN, and acting like a complete libtard in the process.

4Chan /pol/ is all over this. CNN is going to be brutalized.

/pol/ is 4Chan’s “politically incorrect” board.
They are severely angry right now at CNN for its conduct in this matter. CNN is about to feel the power of weaponized autism.

(NOTE: For anyone who is unfamiliar with 4Chan: expect to see and hear things you find offensive. NSFW! About the only thing 4Chan doesn’t tolerate is child pornography. Everything else is allowed. You have been warned.)
