The email said there would be “the deadliest school shooting in American history” if Sarkeesian’s speech was not canceled by the university, and goes on to detail exactly how the attack would be carried out.

1. That just sucks.

I get it, but she has every right to speak without being threatened and having others threatened. Tired of seeing women's voices silenced like this.

2. So the douche bags win?

Misogyny is rubbish, always has been rubbish, and always will be rubbish.

I don't know what to say about this except I hope they lock up the perp and throw away the key.
