Charles C. Johnson: Defeating the Terrorist Organization Called Gawker

Charles C. Johnson writes:

While Gawker Media pretends to be a journalist outfit, it is, in fact, a terrorist organization. Its weapon of choice is whipping up the social justice mob to destroy people’s livelihoods. Of course, Gawker doesn’t think of itself as a terrorist organization any more than the hippies in the Stanford prison experiment thought of themselves as rage-driven thugs. But in practice, being a social justice warrior means being an antisocial unjust coward. In the good old days we’d settle these disputes with dueling, or perhaps trial by combat, but now we have to use the courts. A pity.
