The FBI has arrested a man accused of sending Dallas reporter Kurt Eichenwald a tweet that triggered an epileptic seizure.
The agency announced that John Rayne Rivello, 29, of Salisbury, Md., was arrested Friday morning in Maryland on a cyberstalking charge.
Eichenwald tweeted that the man who "assaulted" him also is expected to be indicted by the Dallas district attorney on different charges in the next few days.
Eichenwald's attorney, Steven Liberman, told Newsweek that "What Mr. Rivello did with his Twitter message was no different from someone sending a bomb in the mail or sending an envelope filled with anthrax spores."

If this guy sent a tweet with the intent of causing a seizure, he should be arrested, plain and simple.
Nonsense ... nobody forced the Lib to look at it , much less stare at it, which would have been required for it to cause a seizure ... you have no idea what you’re talking about
“And then, when someone decides to take offense at something you posted online, make up claims about it harming them...”
Don’t think you will be seeing a legal case involving such.
First Amendment protects political speech.
Pretty sure that it does not, however, protect a tweet whose intent is to maliciously exploit a person’s medical condition.
I’m quite sure that it’s you who has no idea what you’re talking about.
“much less stare at it, which would have been required for it to cause a seizure”
Prove the above quoted requirement that you stated and your credentials that allow to to make such a statement.
Turn autoplay off. Easy to do. Especially if you know you have a problem with a strobe gif.
Can they prove he had a seizure from it ? He would have had to stare at it long enough for it to cause said seizure ... I’m willing to bet he didn’t have a seizure ...so tell us , why are you defending this lunatic left-winger ?
I don’t know that you can stop a GIF. It’s not like a movie or sound file.
Was said dog on the internet before the grand mal?
No one committed a crime against anyone. Get a clue
“Well, let’s see...
If I knew he was epileptic, and I told him that he deserves to have a seizure, and then I sent him a link to Killer Japanese Seizure Robots, and he viewed the link and then suffered a seizure as a result, yes, I could be guilty.
It seems like a stupid and dangerous thing to do.”
It seems like you are as stupid as the SOB making the original claim
Along that subject, there are a lot of strange images presented as odd eye tests on Facebook. Dont look at them. Keep scrolling the feed. Ya never know with this bunch.
You failed to prove the requirement that you listed, and you failed to list your credentials that allow you to list such as a requirement.
So before you tell me that I don’t know what I’m talking about, make sure that you know what your talking about, because you look real foolish now.
Furthermore, what difference does this person’s politics make as to whether or not a crime was committed against him?
Do you think the defense attorney of the accused man is going to offer the victim’s political viewpoints as a defense of his actions?
Do you think the jury will accept the mans’ being a lunatic left winger as a mitigating factor?
Hmmm?
You are extremely skilled at making a total ass of yourself.
Congratulations!
You sling a lot of crap around based on nothing but emotion.No facts no nothing, just like the supposed victim. Poor you
“How the Media’s Infatuation with Eichenwald Overlooks His Sordid [boy porn] Past”
A former New York Times reporter who wrote an article in late 2005 about a teenager who operated a pornographic Web site may have sent more money to the young man than he had previously acknowledged, according to people familiar with sealed documents filed with a court in Tennessee.
The reporter, Kurt Eichenwald, acknowledged this year that on June 8, 2005, he sent a $2,000 check to Justin Berry, the subject of that and later articles, but later demanded repayment and received it.
But several people involved in the court case say the sealed documents indicate that Mr. Eichenwald made at least $1,100 of additional payments in June 2005, some not in his own name, to a PayPal account controlled by Mr. Berry and another man who helped him operate his Web site.
While most reasonable people would contact authorities and ensure the site is shuttered, Eichenwald reached out to the boy and posed as Don Henley from the Eagles’ who was, in the words of the New York magazine piece, a “pervy fan” and “obsessed admirer.”
Yes you can stop a gif by deselecting autoplay. I have my twitter account set that way.
What hole did you crawl out of you pathetic liberal cripple? What you decide to watch on the internet is your decision and your problem. If you have a coniption fit and die, too bad
Particular attention to the hoaxes and fakes.

Your last four posts to me.
You are the one slinging a lot of crap around based on nothing but emotion.
I’ve been talking about the subject of this thread.
You are talking about me.
It is kind of entertaining watching you froth at the mouth and call me a stupid SOB and ask me idiotic questions about my dead dog.
Are you rabid?
Do you have rabies, Figment?
Let me know if you do, because I don’t want any rabid humans biting me.
If it is a hoax, then charge the person responsible with filing a false police report.
Do you have any evidence that this particular incident is, in fact, a hoax?
