The woman who made a video about catcalling is already getting rape threats

Updated by Kelsey McKinney on October 29, 2014

Shoshana B. Roberts - who walked around New York City for 10 hours while being filmed by a hidden camera so that she could record the harassment she received from men on the street - is already getting rape threats.

Roberts's video, which after a day online has already racked up more than 1 million views, documents the over 100 catcalls, whistles, and other forms of harassment she received over the course of the day. One persistent character walked alongside her for five minutes and wouldn't leave her alone...

The video was produced by Hollaback, an organization dedicated to stamping out street harassment and intimidation. Last night, Hollaback tweeted:

The threats are still coming today. These, for instance, were posted while I was writing this article:

Well, I just stumbled upon an Apocalyptic website to see all their predictions.

It had lots of links including a slick movie that's making the rounds of megachurches this past month, with lots of posters and stuff in the mail about prophecy.

It hasn't been updated but said we'd all die in 2012.

We may be Left Behind©.

Or we're all dead now, just disemodied spirits firing our last sparks in cyber space.

Happy Halloween.



Look on the bright side. All that real estate cleared.

But we won't get to enjoy it. Nothing new about that, sad to say.

Not a voting block. We are the majority! Best GOTV PSA ever!

Not barred by the Constitution

I remember former Rep. Trafficant, from eastern Ohio, who was expelled from the House ahead of his conviction on racketeering charges, running for office from prison two years later. He trotted out his version of a "witch hunt" explanation and I think pulled respectable numbers tor a third-party candidate. If Individual 1 learns anything, he will realize the third party route is a bad idea from this example. Not that he learns anything, or that he would allow that 3% of the popular vote in fact loses.

Not quite sidelined. Just not reported in MSM. Two days ago (pic heavy):

Thousands of people gather on the tarmac at Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport while waiting for the arrival of President Obama and the start of a campaign rally October 25, 2012 in Cleveland, Ohio...



Running to the rally for the Democratic candidate...

Everyday he and Michelle are in different states to promote Democrats. The photos and videos are out there if one looks at Obama friendly websites. This is what he does after a day's work at the White House...
