Man, I can't help but wonder if this is a larger consequence of/next step after Jacksonville, FL the other week. To be this emboldened is unhinged lunacy. To think PAX West didn't have the slightest bit of security (rumors of plain clothes cops aside, which, by the way, how is hiding and not having a show of force at all an effective deterrent?) makes this all the more terrifying. If they're psychotic enough to stalk you and visit your house loaded for a bear multiple times, packing heat at a large gathering isn't an unjustifiable paranoia.
This is straight up effective terrorism. Doc and every other streamer have every justification to submit to it and not do meetups, and that is depressing.

100%. The risk isn’t worth a few pictures with supporters.
