Why Loder might actually win:

From the start of the legal battle, Loder knew something important about California law that Kiefer apparently did not. The state has a statute designed to punish anyone who abuses the legal system by filing meritless lawsuits, including false harassment claims intended to deter or silence the protected speech of their critics. In legal jargon, such a scheme is known as a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation, or a SLAPP.

Last month, Loder’s legal team invoked this law and filed what is known as an anti-SLAPP motion, asking the judge overseeing Kiefer’s case to rule that his request for a restraining order was an abuse of the legal system designed to silence Loder. If Loder’s motion is successful, it could cost Kiefer tens of thousands of dollars. That’s because, if the judge agrees that Kiefer’s request for the temporary restraining order was a SLAPP, the court would not only lift the order but also impose a financial penalty by requiring Kiefer to pay Loder’s legal fees.

. . . if the fascists don’t kill them first.

In a follow-up tweet, Ngo informed his 900,000 followers that Loder had been required, because of the temporary restraining order, to surrender their gun to the police until the case is settled. Loder told me that Ngo’s tweet, which named the area they live in and showed the inside of their apartment, had triggered threats, including from a retired LAPD homicide detective who tweeted to Ngo: “I’m going to see Chad one day. I’ll take photos of the aftermath.” (The former detective, Sal LaBarbera, told me that he did not mean to threaten Loder with violence.)

I remember being told by the principal “sometimes you just have to let it happen, and learn to forgive and forget.”

That very moment made me realize all institutions will side with the jock over the gamer :marx-joker:

Ngo’s all over it. When he inevitably gets someone killed he’s going to claim self-defense, too.

There is, however, evidence that Loder has been doxxed. Loder told me that, just before Kiefer obtained the restraining order, they received threatening text messages. Loder allowed me to review the texts and they included records showing Loder’s address, the name of Loder’s ex-wife, a threatening remark about their young child, and the warning that this information was “being sent to every Patriot in the country.”

After the texts, Loder said, “My apartment got plastered with all of these flyers … saying that I’m a white supremacist and I’m attacking a gay Asian man online — that’s Andy Ngo, of course.”

It’s so shitty that these chuds always try to use the veneer of social justice language to attack left wingers. Like they’ll spend hours a day online ranting about how they hate identity politics then turn around and be like “actually I’m asian and it’s racist to criticize the things I say and do.”

What if we did the same thing, cloaked ourselves in conservative/fascist talk and used their logic against them.

“You’re criticizing Bernie Sanders? a WHITE MALE! You’re the REAL leftist, not me!”
