At least eleven schools or school districts that were targeted by the account “Libs of TikTok” over anti-LGBTQ grooming conspiracies last month received bomb threats just days later.

Libs of TikTok is the same group of malcontents who doxxed and swatted people from the KiwiFarms servers and 4chan before that. They're terrorists and they should be dealt swift and violent justice.

It likely is a group of people, but the main person is Chaya Raichik. She can and should be named.

She should be made unwelcome in every prison gang she tries to join

They level of mental gymnastics that someone sent a passive aggressive handwritten note about how "free speech" means a bus driver can't have stickers because some people's religion doesn't like what they say....

These idiots really have such low levels of empathy, they dont understand rights apply to anyone else.

Lmfao "free speech means I get to decide what gets said"

Can we just talk for a moment about how the elementary school in Salem is called Witchcraft Heights? That's fucking rad.

I hope they lean into it and religious people don't kill the fun there.

Probably fine. Tourism from that stuff is a major income source for the region.

LOTT is a terrorist organization

Yeah it is a real pity that Christianity hasn't died off yet.

Anger leads to multiple sequels that should never have been made.

That is so disgusting and messed up.

I think someone needs to get this group of wing nuts taken down.

Anytime a group like this on social media pops up; people should immediately start reporting them for "Encouraging or Inciting Violence" immediately after anyone starts hearing about such a group being the cause of Doxxing, Swatting or Bomb Threats in general.

If you're a libertarian yourself you should shun extremist behavior. Violence does not help your cause.

Another proud moment for Christianity.
