A man accused of sending a flashing image to a writer in order to trigger an epileptic seizure has been arrested, the US justice department says.

The tweets were bad enough, but others sending them were worse. Not to mention the man hoping his victim dies.

I just hope it doesn't become a fad.

I wouldn't call that trolling, I'd call it assault

If that's the case, every single employee at Nintendo from the NES days should get arrested... seriously, it's like they wanted to trigger epileptic seizures with some of the games they released.

I believe that the games are labeled with a warning.

10 years jail for this?
The far left will die if this punishment is to happen.

Isn't that what trolling is? Verbal assault

China is a good illustration of what he's talking about. Leftist intellectuals couldn't turn around the authoritarianism that arose under Mao and they got swept aside by his red guards, and now Xi Jinping is the new Mao. Get rid of all your critics and you can be the strongman, brook no dissent. I think the left and the right will die in a similar fashion, but what will prevail is authoritarianism.
