I'm always shocked by how much damage a single sociopath can do.

Religion is a powerful thing.

    The implied meaning being that the single sociopath in question would not have been able to cause much damage if not for the dormant power of religion within other sociopaths.

      Religion was only one of several controversial things he used to to drum up controversy. Here's one of his controversial articles that has nothing to do with religion: https://archive.is/3vwXz https://archive.is/3vwXz Here's a post criticizing that previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/isrconspiracyracist/comments/3jlggb/rconspiracy_regular_ueuropean88_aka_michael_slay/ https://www.reddit.com/r/isrconspiracyracist/comments/3jlggb... Turns out that post is also by him as well (Emily_Americana). As the original article mentions, he also created a fake twitter account pretending to be an anti-sexploitation campaigner, and posted anti-transexual tweets with it.

        My mistake, I must have set the bar for "damage" a bit too high, only considering the shot policeman and the two dead terrorists. Controversy is obviously quite damaging to everyone involved. I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to read hateful tweets. Hopefully his 20 years in prison will give him time to ponder over the harm he did to Jews, immigrants and transexuals.

        Yes, 20 years for hurting someone's feeling is such a great way for our society to proceed! It's a bit weird though, how suddenly more and more things are hurtful. If he impersonated an actual living person, he should be on the hook for that. What was his involvement in the attacks? There are contradictory news. He built a bomb? Or he just said some generic nonsense about attacking, to the tune of actual imams? NYT just ran a lovely article how all middle and eastern European countries are white nationalistic bigoted homophobic nazies because they refuse to allow to have immigrants dumped on them (immigrants, who would have been held there by force - they want to go to Germany or France or UK, and are coughcough incredibly vocal about that) Do I get to put NYT away for 20 years for hurting my feelings and my health (bullshit induced hypertension followed by migraine) ?

        >Hopefully his 20 years in prison will give him time to ponder over the harm he did to Jews, immigrants and transexuals. Out of curiosity, would you also be in favor of prison time for the large swaths of Russia that hold and speak negative views against the same groups? A bomb threat should result in an arrest every time, but offensive speech? Maybe in a police state or a theocracy that would be an appropriate response, but hopefully not in a healthy democracy.

What damage? He antagonized crazies and fanatics. You could even argue its the classic case of shooting the messenger.
