Boulders evil women on #Twitter: their techie boy-bitches this week on #Boulderfire #boulder
Oct 31st
EDITORIAL
by Jann Scott
This week we experienced the gang mob mentality of Twiiter hatemongering gone bad. Led by a few women one who calls herself @laurasrecipes and the other @fourmileheros. These two anonymous shadows are non existent; that is they have a picture and a name but they could be men or computer viruses. @fourmileheros colleced $1000s of dollars selling poster for Boulders fire in September but never sent us an accounting. To our knowledge she or it never gave any money to four mile canyon fire victims.
Worse they insert themselves into local issues and then start milking the crowds emotions. They have their loyal following of other equally anonymous women who look for a window of hate and then pounce. In our case they don’t like our reporting and then start threatening us.
some of the men include corporate engineers or mostly PR types who threaten companies to buy their services: Like brett greene and his girlfriend who are also anonymous non existant people on twitter.
When we track these people we always come up with websites that are sketchy, no address’s or phone numbers. They are Boulders hate speach militias on twitter. A very dangerous group of 20 somethings who hang out in places lie The Cup on Pearl Street.
They use intimidation, lies, slander, libel all on twitter to try to kill people, ideas, or anything they hate this week. So what we do is what we do best; tell you who they are , what they do and expose them both here and on TV. We won’t lay down for these Cretans (obviously) but local business’s need to fight back at this mob mentality on Twitter. It exists on Yelp and Facebook too.
Cyber bullying has become a national epidemic. So for us the best place to clean it up is right here in Boulder. We will take the worst offenders, find out who they are, where they live and work and then notify everyone connected with them of their gang affiliations and their attacks.
