What It’s Like to Get Doxed for Taking a Bike Ride
Peter Weinberg didn’t even know what “doxing” was before a Twitter mob falsely accused him of assaulting some kids on a bike trail.

What It’s Like to Get Doxed for Taking a Bike Ride
By the standards of the pandemic, Thursday had been a normal day for Peter Weinberg. A 49-year-old finance marketing executive, he worked from his home in Bethesda, Maryland, right outside of the District of Columbia, staying busy with Zoom meetings and the new rituals of our socially isolated world.
Then, around 10 p.m., he received an irate message on LinkedIn from someone he didn’t know. He brushed it off, thinking it was probably just spam. Then he got another. And another. The third message was particular strange, as it mentioned something about the cops coming to find him. Perplexed, he watched as the messages continued to pile up. They were all so similar: angry, threatening, accusatory. His profile views suddenly soared into the thousands.
He began to panic. He decided to check Twitter. Although he’d had an account for more than a decade, Weinberg didn’t use the social platform very much. He mostly followed mainstream news outlets, politicians from across the ideological spectrum, entrepreneurs, and financial analysts. He had what you might call “low engagement.” But not anymore.
In his mentions, disaster was rapidly unfolding. People accused him of assaulting a child. Of being a racist. They shared a selfie he’d taken in sunglasses and his bike helmet and analyzed it alongside blurry images of another man in sunglasses and a bike helmet.
The other guy had been captured on video hitting children and ramming his bike into an adult after becoming enraged that they were posting fliers around the Capital Crescent Trail in support of George Floyd, the unarmed black man killed by white police officers in Minneapolis on Memorial Day.
Weinberg hadn’t seen the viral story about the trail where he regularly biked. He didn’t know that, for several days, the video had circulated online as law enforcement crowdsourced help in locating the suspect. Now that he had seen it, he didn’t think he looked anything like this guy. And he didn’t understand why anyone thought he was him.
“You assaulted a little girl and other innocents because of your political beliefs,” one Twitter user messaged him. “Hey so are you the piece of shit who assaulted a child in Maryland today on the bicycle trail?” asked another. “Hey you racist bitch….we’re coming for you.” “You deserve to pay.” “Ur going down u disgusting piece of shit.” “Nice job assaulting a small child today. You need to be fired from your job immediately.” “YOU UGLY RACIST BITCH.”
As he attempted to piece together what was happening, Weinberg called the number for a detective provided by the Maryland-National Capital Park Police. “We are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the below individual in reference to an assault that took place this morning on the Capital Crescent trail. Please contact Det. Lopez with any information,” read a tweet sent June 2 from the department and shared more than 55,000 times.
But the Park Police had made an error. “Correction, the incident occurred yesterday morning, 6/1/2020,” they wrote in a follow up tweet. As with most such clarifications, it had only a fraction of the reach: a mere 2,000 shares.
It was based on that initial, false information that Weinberg had become a suspect for the internet mob. To his surprise, the app that he used to record his regular rides from Bethesda into Georgetown via the Capital Crescent Trail shared that information publicly, not just with his network of friends and followers. Someone had located a record of his ride on the path on June 2, matched it to the location of the assault from the video, matched his profile picture — white guy, aviator-style sunglasses, helmet obscuring much of his head — to the man in the video, and shared the hunch publicly.
It took off. Weinberg didn’t know what “doxing” meant, but it was happening to him: Someone posted his address. Detective Lopez didn’t answer his call, but soon someone with the police department contacted Weinberg to let him know that officers would be patrolling the area around his home because he might be in danger.
Detective Lopez reached him around 11 p.m. and they agreed to meet the next morning. At 11:47, Weinberg tweeted, “I recently learned I have been misidentified in connection with a deeply disturbing attack. Please know this was not me. I have been in touch with the authorities and will continue to help any way possible.”
His fiancée in New York, he spent the night alone, refreshing Twitter, watching helplessly as people tried to destroy his life. And Weinberg wasn’t even the only one: Another man, a former Maryland cop, was wrongly accused, too. The tweet accusing him was retweeted and liked more than half a million times.
At 7 a.m., Weinberg brought his bicycle and his helmet with him to the police station. Detective Lopez told him he was free to go and the department would issue a report excluding him as a suspect.
On Twitter, Maryland attorney general Brian Frosh sent Weinberg a message. “I am sorry for what you are going through. Police have a suspect. Can I post something that would help?” Hours before Weinberg was falsely accused, Frosh had asked all of Twitter for help finding the man in the video. “If anyone can identify this man, please let me know,” he said, and nearly 50,000 people retweeted him.
“I could use any help you can give. Can we speak quickly?” Weinberg said.
On the phone, Frosh — who did not return a request for comment from Intelligencer — was empathetic. He acknowledged that he had, in some way, contributed to Weinberg’s circumstances. He sent a tweet confirming that there was a suspect and “it is not Mr. Weinberg.” (228 retweets.)
On Friday, police arrested Anthony Brennan III, a 60-year-old from Kensington, Maryland, and charged him with three counts of second-degree assault.
Weinberg told a reporter he was “dizzy” after what he went through.
“You may hear more from me in time as I reflect on this experience,” he tweeted. “For now I will say this. We must align in the fight for justice and equality — but not at the cost of due process and the right to privacy and safety.”
As for the woman who shared his home address: She deleted it and posted an apology, writing that in all of her eagerness to see justice served, she was swept up in the mob that so gleefully shared misinformation, depriving someone of their own right to justice. Her correction was shared by fewer than a dozen people.

Deborah Birx says 70 coronavirus test sites destroyed in George Floyd protests, warns of spike in cases
Other epidemiologists and public health experts have raised similar concerns in recent days as multiple states are seeing increases in new confirmed cases.
Major cities and urban areas are of particular concern, considering they are the site for the majority of demonstrations, highlighting data pointing to more active community spread in “metro Hispanic neighborhoods.”
Birx also confirmed that approximately 70 testing sites in these metropolitan areas have been destroyed due to the looting that trailed protests.
This further hinders efforts to accurately gauge how many people have the virus and can result in further spread by asymptomatic carriers.

Damned white nationalists looting and destroying testing facilities. Everyone already knew that Coronavirus disproportionately affects black people! That's why they're targeting the testing stations.Deborah Birx says 70 coronavirus test sites destroyed in George Floyd protests, warns of spike in cases

You know, I'm going to bet you that the destruction of these testing facilities really drives the cases in black communities up. I fail to see what they could have done to deserve this. Every single black person in the United States has been wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and following the law to the letter.

Y'know the further this goes on, the more I'll think that China just did this whole stunt to make a hypocrite of USA. If ground zero of all of this just so happened to be in a university in Minneapolis with a BLM group, then that would completely confirm it.Deborah Birx says 70 coronavirus test sites destroyed in George Floyd protests, warns of spike in cases

That's novel.
Blaming hispanics now. Couldn't blame the precious blacks, who it actually kills more frequently and quickly...

This is the memorial for the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts Infantry, from 1863-1865 of all BLACK SOLDIERS who fought for the Union. Defaced by BLM.
I know this photo is old news, but I find it a bit more relevant with protestors now tearing down statues of early american historical figures, even if they were supportive of black freedom. This photo proves to me that this isn't about racism in America. This isn't about George Floyd. They want blood, they want destruction, and they want to remove everything this country stands for.
I just wanted to share a choice quote about Col. Robert Shaw during one of the raids in Darien, Georgia:
" The population had fled, and Montgomery ordered the soldiers to loot and burn the empty town. Shaw objected to this activity and complained over Montgomery's head that burning and looting were not suitable activities for his model regiment "

As gross as this whole political ceremony is, this is the kind of stuff that makes up the evilest part of all of this to me - what the MSM choose to omit from their “news” stories. These spins are what set up the conditions for BLM and made the movement at the fore of everyone’s minds to begin with.Sister Of Fallen Police Officer Asks ‘Where Is The Outrage’ Over Her Brother’s Death
Angela-Underwood Jacobs, whose brother Dave Patrick Underwood was killed recently in the line of duty during a riot in Oakland, California, asked Congress where the outrage was over her brother’s death.
Underwood, 53, was a federal officer for the Department of Homeland Security and was guarding a federal courthouse in Oakland when he was shot multiple times by an unidentified person in a vehicle. It was most likely a targeted attack on police officers, according to Oakland Police. The FBI is currently investigating the incident.
“The heartbreak, and the grief, is unexplainable because it’s very very hard to articulate when your entire world has been turned upside down,” she said during her Congressional testimony Wednesday.
“I do want to know, though, when I think about all of this, that my brother wore a uniform, and he wore that uniform proudly. I’m wondering, where is the outrage for a fallen officer that also happens to be African-American?”
Sister Of Fallen Police Officer Asks ‘Where Is The Outrage’ Over Her Brother’s Death

Like yesterday on NPR, the only coverage around all this was about George Floyd’s brother and the former police chief of NOLA, who is a “defund the police” apologist. No mention of or discussion on this, that’s for sure.
The answer to the lady’s question, that she already knows sadly, is that lives matter only conditionally and as they relate to the political script. It’s all a lie; that all lives matter or that black lives matter. On this stage, the only lives that matter are ones that can be politically exploited.
It’s yet another idea that is totally bended and contorted into its opposite in all this lunacy.
It's encouraging that the replies to that tweet are pretty much all variations of "come the fuck on, this is getting to be too much".
The more people that start to see this entire situation for what it actually is, the better.

My dad used to make me carry one when I stayed out late in junior high. Luckily never got pushed into using it, when someone noticed the 'brave' kid in the group wanted to show how manly he was with a little love tap. I was worried he broke his femur. People are
This all points further to the 'peak advancement' meme that we as a culture have a grossly inaccurate view of our actual tech capacity. Most people know just enough to think they know everything to survive and thrive in a society, like they could be sent back to 200 b.c. and somehow create a techno paradise.

Genuine question for the thread, but what happens next? What are your plans to cope with these developments?
America is on fire and you can't step out of line politically without your head being put on a pike and shunned from any social activity. Businesses are going under from being out from the pandemic or being looted and burned, and now theres secession happening in a small scale.

I see this sometimes when you have in-shape guys who HATE any kind of defensive accoutrements with a passion. Some chalk it up to 'fairness' or 'honor' but I think they just want a monopoly on force, if everyone is totally disarmed they're the most dangerous one around. After all, they've worked so hard to be so bare-handedly lethal! Can't let some chick with a 2" fitz special in her purse out-protect you!
That whip reminds me of the old guy on our block who got sick of the kids smashin' jack-o-lanterns, he set up a tripwire alarm around halloween and sat next to them in wait. When the kids grabbed it to smash through his car windows, He lept into action, immediately lashing the everlovin' shit out of them with one of these:

I remember his having a somewhat flexible steel core and it was super long. The shrieks of punk ass teenagers going from "yeah man, everyone in this hood is scared as shit of us, we're fuckin' rad" to "OWOWOWOW Lashing hurts" still come to mind every halloween.
At least these events lately have shown some people (those not retarded) that you can't always rely on police to save you, and in most cases, they'll hardly act to save themselves. What makes you think they give a shit about your average citizen?

Isn't it also the furthest-left part of Seattle? Something tells me if the populace of any area wouldn't object to that kind of bullshit, it would be that one. For all we know the CHAZ was founded by locals, just like how it's always some cucked city council that decides to tear down the Confederate monuments because the Good Old South was stupid enough to build them in big cities, not realizing that collectivism in general and leftism in particular is a natural product of urbanisation.

King fought for peace and understanding. He gave legendary speeches that saw an optimistic future. His philosophy of peaceful protests worked.
Malcom X was eloquent and educated. He could see the problems and explain them. He had plans for moving forward. He was an extremist, but he could still speak calmly and pointedly.
