Milo ... Threatens to Sue The Observer Over His 'Gun Down Journalists' Threat: 'Your Life is Over'

Milo Yiannopoulos is threatening to bring a lawsuit against The Observer after his recent anti-journalism rhetoric was connected to yesterday’s deadly attack on the Capital Gazette.

The political provocateur recently drew a lot of attention after he told Observer reporter Davis Richardson that he “can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight.” He took this up a notch when Mediaite‘s Amy Russo asked him to elaborate on his remarks, and he responded by warning that journalists who critique President Trump “did this to yourselves, and you deserve what’s coming.”

When the Capital Gazette came under attack yesterday, there was a great deal of public outcry as people accused Yiannopoulos and others of encouraging violence towards reporters. The firebrand defended himself in a Facebook post, saying he doesn’t regret his comments, that it was supposed to be a “private joke,” and that the media was concocting hysteria over his “troll” remarks.

Now The Wrap media editor and Mediaite alum Jon Levine has learned that Yiannopoulos is threatening vengeance on The Observer and Richardson over the outrage coming his way.

1. Ironic that the shooter sued the paper and lost

aint it?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. "Your life is over" is a VIOLENT threat. Make no mistake.

They always make threats and then say "Can't you take a joke" when caught. It doesn't hold water. Only Trumpanzees can't see what they are doing.

14. Bawhahhahahaaaaaaa!!!! HE SAID IT,they can REPORT IT

3. What's Milo worried about?

The left doesn't hunt down and shoot abortion doctors, politicians and journalists the way the right does.

We're civil that way, thank fuck.

[RoBear]

15. Is there a typo in your first line?

Can't make it track in my head... Should that last "left" be "right"?

[knightmaar]

16. Yes, thank you.

Fixed it.

[maxsolomon]

36. Well, Steve Scalise.

We've got unhinged people on our "side", as well. Sorry to say.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Poor little Nazi snowflake.

[Dulcinea]

42. What a tool.

Call the WAHHHHmbulance!

[FakeNoose]

48. Doesn't he sound like somebody we know?

A lot of these lawsuits were started by the orange asshole. He's initiated many of them in retaliation.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. Okay, he's trying to sue them for printing something he actually did say?

Gotcha.

[christx30]

6. It's just not fair to use his own words against him.

Maybe he and his ilk can try not saying inflammatory crap, if they don’t like being called out for it. They’re never sorry for saying it.

[Botany]

7. If I was @ the paper my answer would be bring it on.

Milo is just a younger version of Ann Coulter or Bill O'Rielly who sees stirring up
shit as his path to fame and fortune.

[marble falls]

8. He's just trolling.

[YessirAtsaFact]

31. I hope he catches a shark big enough to eat him

[marble falls]

40. It can not happen soon enough.

[DetlefK]

9. Let him waste his time/money. The article merely quotes Milo and doesn't link him to the shooting.

http://observer.com/2018/06/milo-yiannopoulos-encourages-vigilantes-start-gunning-journalists-down/

The Observer-article does not report that Milo claims that his remarks was merely "trolling".

[ronatchig]

10. U recall from long ago

that when I hit a bully in the mouth (in early grade school) the first words out of his mouth were "I was only kiddin". His second were I'll hit u later. He never did. He grew up to be a cop.

[Augiedog]

21. I had a similar experience

[LiberalArkie]

11. "Your life is over"

And another threat.

[rurallib]

20. pretty hard to take that any other way. Seems self-explanatory

[Honeycombe8]

12. Can the Dem leaders see that we need to step up the fight mode, now?

We have been dealing with this outright violent rhetoric and offensive, abusive talk for a decade, at least. IT'S TIME. It's time to be a warrior, to quit operating on the "we're the civil side," "we're so polite," and "we play by the rules...they should, too."

[C_U_L8R]

13. He sounds just like the lunatic assassin

with his tweet rants and bogus lawsuits

[Bengus81]

17. Pfffttt....when his "I was just trolling" didn't get traction he decided to go with this.....

Wow...Mr Tough GUY,just like his buddy Trump.

[Aristus]

18. Another member of the 'personal responsibility' party...

[WhiteTara]

19. They want this to be Rwanda on steroids.

[malthaussen]

22. Can we just not give this jerk any validation?

Let the sucker rot in well-deserved obscurity.

[Glorfindel]

23. Isn't he a foreign national? British subject? Couldn't he be deported

for threatening American citizens on American soil?

[muriel_volestrangler]

33. Yeah, the 2nd reporter he gave the "shoot journalists" quote to was asking about him

joining the UK Independence Party. Rather than saying "yes", "no" or "no comment", he did the "shoot journalists" bit, and now acts outraged that when they asked him for a quote and he gave them one, they used it.

I really think someone should be checking his immigration status. He's been sacked from employment.

[treestar]

47. That remark could make him ineligible for citizenship

in that he does not support the Constitution and Laws of the United States.

Though of course Orangeman would not deport someone saying that even with the power to do so!

[jmowreader]

24. I'd say the Capitol Gazette has a better case than Milo does

Milo claims he can’t wait until journalists start getting gunned down. In the same week journalists get gunned down. It’s going to be damn hard for Milo to prove the two aren’t connected.

[SunSeeker]

25. K & R for exposure.

[Julian Englis]

26. He's clearly implying he and his fellow brownshirts arent journalist. n/t

[Javaman]

27. halfwit nazi suing a corporation.

yeah, milo, sure, you'll win. go for it.

My hope is at the end of all of this, he's living in a cardboard box.

[lapislzi]

28. Nice little grifting gig you got there, pearly boy

Be a shame if something were to happen to it.

One small comfort is that Milo is one more person who will probably never dine on a restaurant meal that doesn't contain saliva.

[magicarpet]

32. Be creative.... why not poop... call it a brown hollandaise sauce and mix in some Indian curry to ...

.... to make it fathomable. A special favorite concoction from the chef's international menu specially made for you.

[Mc Mike]

29. He's like Ernst Rohm, but without the ability to street brawl and beer hall putsch.

He'll cut you up exquisitely in a live blog from his hair and nail salon, though.

It's as if Rohm got knocked out on the street by an anti-nazi German, and woke up thinking he was Hedda Hopper.

Plus, he's a big border jumper. I'm losing track of which country he's doing his goose stepping Paris hilton impression from. A most undesirable foreign national alien.

[pazzyanne]

30. Milo said it, he needs to own it.

Hateful words have consequences and I for one am tired of people using horrible rhetoric and then trying to pass it off as a "joke". First it is not funny and second 5 people are dead after Milo said some hateful things. Man up, Milo! You now have blood on your hands.

[world wide wally]

34. I would love to see Milo and Trump as codefendants

They could claim to be a new comedy team

[Initech]

35. What a violent piece of shit.

[forgotmylogin]

37. Milo gotta make $ somehow.

Since he's been cut off by PayPal and VenMo he needs a new source of income.

Milo is billed as a "provocateur"; commonly "a writer, artist, political activist, etc. whose works, ideas, or activities are regarded as a threat to accepted values or practices", but another definition is "An undercover agent who incites suspected persons to partake in or commit criminal acts."

[Milo said he] “can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight.” He took this up a notch when Mediaite‘s Amy Russo asked him to elaborate on his remarks, and he responded by warning that journalists who critique President Trump “did this to yourselves, and you deserve what’s coming.”

Charles Manson died in prison, and he didn't physically murder people. He only provoked other people to do so.

[KPN]

38. This guy is a nobody, a nothing, a piece of worthless crap. Serving as a rightwing-nutjob whore

is the only thing he's got.

“can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight.” He took this up a notch when Mediaite‘s Amy Russo asked him to elaborate on his remarks, and he responded by warning that journalists who critique President Trump “did this to yourselves, and you deserve what’s coming.”

F-you asshole! I can't "wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning [for you]" ... [You] “did this to yourselve[s], and you deserve what’s coming.”

[TexasBushwhacker]

39. He had a home in Miami

If he still lives here DEPORT HIS ASS!

[Nitram]

41. Let's just ignore this asshole. Pretend he doesn't exist. He lives for publicity. He will wither and

die without it. Let's not post anything about him. We know who and what he is. We aren't going to learn anything new about him.

[riversedge]

43. Looks like Milo doubled down on his threat-and now to sue the paper. ha ha.

[Midnight Writer]

44. SLAP lawsuit designed to harass. Hopefully judge will through this out and charge Milo for costs

[BigmanPigman]

45. What BS! He lost his $3 million book deal

because he condones pedophilia.

"Milo Yiannopoulos has resigned from Breitbart News, the website that brought him fame and infamy in the U.S., just one day after Simon & Schuster canceled a lucrative book deal with the conservative provocateur. Last weekend, the Conservative Political Action Conference also disinvited Yiannopoulos from an upcoming conference in Washington, D.C.

These parting of ways came after recordings of multiple podcasts resurfaced where Yiannopoulos, 33, appeared to condone or, at least, make light of pedophilia".

[treestar]

46. If he said that to an Observer reporter, then why be shocked it

showed up in the Observer!

As to his "trolling" he should move to a tinpot dictatorship somewhere. How unpatriotic to suggest that journalists get into any trouble for critiquing anyone at all, let alone the POTUS, let alone the so-called POTUS known as the Orange Toxin.
