Author Patrick Tomlinson and his wife, business owner Niki Robinson, have been "swatted" at their home in Milwaukee more than 40 times, often resulting in police pointing guns at their heads. Their tormentors have also called in false bomb threats to venues using their names in three states. Yet law enforcement hasn’t been able to stop the calls.
Chief Scott Schubert with the bureau’s Criminal Justice Information Services headquarters in Clarksburg, West Virginia, told NBC News that the agency formed a national online database in May to facilitate information sharing between hundreds of police departments and law enforcement agencies across the country pertaining to swatting incidents.
Tomlinson’s troubles began after he posted a casual remark on Twitter in 2018 saying he’d never personally found the comedian Norm Macdonald very funny. As The Daily Beast reported, the tweet caught the attention of online trolls who soon began to harass, stalk, impersonate and defame Tomlinson and his wife, using a website of their own along with social media accounts on Reddit, Twitter and YouTube to target the couple and invite others to pile on.
Their harassers mostly converge on a website that’s cloned elsewhere so participants can migrate rapidly if their forum is ever banned by a service provider.
Tomlinson and Robinson filed a lawsuit against the owners of an online forum that their stalkers have used to target them. But their case was never heard by the court because they had no names of website owners to sue. They sent a subpoena to obtain those names to a web services provider, Cloudflare, but that was quashed. They were forced to withdraw the suit and now say they owe more than $50,000 in legal fees to the very people attacking them — enough to possibly bankrupt them, the couple said.
That's the cliffnotes, there's more to the article in the link.

Surely it can't just be that he said Norm MacDonald isn't funny. There's got to be something else about him that attracted the attention of weaponised neurodivergency.

it started w that bc he said it when norm was getting shit for defending louis ck, and as a result he attracted attention from members of the formerly /r/opieandanthony subreddit.
BUT he still gets attention today bc he’s a stereotypical resistance twitter tard, and he replies to EVERYTHING. literally everything tweeted, posted, whatever about him (as long as it’s on a mainstream site like reddit, twitter, or his blog)

Don't get me wrong, I find him hilarious. Everything surrounding him is fricking toxic in my view as long as people keep swatting him. There was a huge KF thread that just came out this week about torswats and related people who may may be involved with the Fatrick swattings (as well as many others); everyone involved sounds like a massive cute twink. It would be a rare police W if they actually get caught and prosecuted.

If it makes you feel any better (and I don't believe it for a second) but I've heard a theory that he might have been calling them on himself. I guess the calls all stopped for a while all at once and there was no talk of it or any kind of organization on the channels dedicated to Patrick.

Torswats is the guy this accusation comes from. His proof is pretty much "trust me bro, I said it on my Telegram that I also use to swat people". I wouldn't put it past Patrick because he loves attention, and I 100% believe he lies about the number of swattings because that's the only way anyone on twitter will give him attention (people have also dug through police records and failed to find many of the alleged swattings). However, he's not smart enough to think of this scheme on his own, even if he did continue it. He's just not that intelligent or creative, imo. Someone else started this, and Patrick encouraged it by acting histrionic every time someone questioned him on Twitter.

Is he? I never really followed the Tomilson stuff that much so I always thought he was a KF target.
Edit. Yeah you are right. I just besmirched the good name of KF.

There's a difference between talking about the effects of somebody's actions and talking about their character and motives. Obviously, Trump's actions have (thus far) had less bad effects than Hitler's. But what the original poster was saying, and what I think is hard to dispute, is that Hitler was a better man than Trump.
