The Sandy Hook conspiracy loons are after the man who helped 6 kids right after the shooting

“I don’t know what to do,” sighed Gene Rosen. “I’m getting hang up calls, I’m getting some calls, I’m getting emails with, not direct threats, but accusations that I’m lying, that I’m a crisis actor, ‘how much am I being paid’?” Someone posted a photo of his house online. There have been phony Google+ and YouTube accounts created in his name, messages on white supremacist message boards ridiculing the “emotional Jewish guy,” and dozens of blog posts and videos “exposing” him as a fraud. One email purporting to be a business inquiry taunted: “How are all those little students doing? You know, the ones that showed up at your house after the ‘shooting’. What is the going rate for getting involved in a gov’t sponsored hoax anyway?”

“The quantity of the material is overwhelming,” he said. So much so that a friend shields him from most of it by doing daily sweeps of the web so Rosen doesn’t have to. His wife is worried for their safety. He’s logged every email and every call, and consulted with a retired state police officer, who took the complaint seriously but said police probably can’t do anything at the moment, and he plans to do the same with the FBI.

What did Rosen do to deserve this? One month ago, he found six little children and a bus driver at the end of the driveway of his home in Newtown, Connecticut. “We can’t go back to school,” one little boy told Rosen. “Our teacher is dead.” He brought them inside and gave them food and juice and toys. He called their parents. He sat with them and listened to their shocked accounts of what had happened just down the street inside Sandy Hook Elementary, close enough that Rosen heard the gunshots.

In the hours and days that followed, Rosen did a lot of media interviews. “I wanted to speak about the bravery of the children, and it kind of helped me work through this,” he told Salon in an interview. “I guess I kind of opened myself up to this.”

This is nuts and scary.
He ought to find somebody who can track them down on the interwebs and get cease and desist orders given. I would say forget them, but I don't know if that will work. I really don't know if anything works when reality is that far beyond them.

EXPCITE

TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 13 - CIVIL RIGHTS
HEAD

Sec. 241. Conspiracy against rights
STATUTE

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or
intimidate
any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth,
Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any
right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of
the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same;
or
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the
premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free
exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured -
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than
ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in
violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an
attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit
aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined
under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life,
or both, or may be sentenced to death.


He needs ISPs and a log to keep track of emails and calls. If he could contact a helpful person with the FBI, they could give him helpful advice. The police in his town are either stupid, complicit or intimidated themselves, they already told him there was nothing they could do.

Just more specific. But as domestic terrorism he can get help from the FBI.

destroy him just to advance their own selfish and disgusting agenda. They won't be satisfied until someone attempts to do harm to him.

I'm not sure he would appreciate roses, although he was working in his yard when the children appeared, so he might.

Maybe a card signed by those who want to let him know there are good people that appreciate him. Do any sites have such a thing like a petition that everyone could sign, but make it a card? Well, that wouldn't work if we didn't have his email address. It was published somewhere.

I agree. We should do something.

and when dweebs feel powerful they must take out their angst on those who do good in our society.

Why?

Jealousy over someone who gets commended for doing something good while the dweebs feel they will never be "rewarded" for their undiscovered "genius".

This is a standard tactic to make the victim feel responsible for the abuse. Damn I hate these people.
