I’ve been trying for several days to come up with adequate words to express my anger, disgust and sadness. Carolyn, of the Carolyn’s RV Life YouTube channel, has had to deal with not only the standard-issue trolls and assholes, but also death threats. Vile, graphic, lewd, detailed death threats. Death threats! Why? Pretty much simply because she’s someone on YouTube. And because there are some very, very sick people out there who need victims in order to feel powerful.
But I realized you don’t need my words, because Carolyn’s words are more than enough. You will feel what I feel. Or more.
However, the good news is that one of threat makers has been arrested.
Unless this sort of thing is taken seriously it grows. People who make threats of violence are criminals and deserve to be treated as such. Who knows who their next victim will be?
ReplyDeleteI forgot your name Al only for short while; thanks for sharing she's a good friend to have and to know.

ReplyDeleteThe content lag that you see on some channels makes sense now. So sad that this is the reality for folks just out there trying to create good content or have an outlet for their creativity.
