Fanatism is the mind killer.
Last night, I was checking out a #gamergate meetup where Milo Yiannopoulos and Christina Hoff Sommers were appearing at, taking place at a bar called Local 16. I walk up the stairs and see the crowd, and suddenly memories of Magic: the Gathering tournaments come rushing back to me. I leave early, only to find out that at 12:15 people are evacuated for a “fire drill” which turns out to be a bomb threat. The threat was made by a throwaway Twitter account and not by phone call.
A lot of people implicated Arthur Chu, who was making cryptic tweets beforehand:
Don't know what he is planning but, be careful guys

He also sent a weird email to Local 16, trying to shame them for hosting what he calls “a right wing hate group.”
