At the time of this posting the the doxing website that was getting people harassed at threatened if they said the slightest thing off-putting (you know like, CHARLIE KIRK, ROT IN HELL!) has been scrubbed, then removed and replaced with another website with different name and no doxing opportunities – yet. But for a few days, Jason Potbelly had some fun in life because they came after him! He writes about it.

Jason Potbelly

He was shot. A coworker brought it to my attention. We talked for a few minutes between cutting vegetables for a stew, about the man we both perceived as a racist, transphobic bigot taking a bullet.

I personally believe completely in free speech. To me even this idiot deserves to say whatever bullshit he wants to say. That way I’d know who the assholes are. Who to stay clear of, or become a thorn in their side.

I found it completely ironic that this man, who shrugged off school shooting, was killed in a school shooting.

I went home and looked on Facebook to see that most of my feed was one article after another about the shooting. No mention of the kids shot in a different school shooting that same day anywhere. Hundreds of posts about how this man was a bigot, and deserved his ending, to an outcry of people saying, “I don’t agree with him, but he didn’t deserve to die.” it was most of my feed. I shared something I saw on a friend’s time line. A tag line of “rest in piss.” Described my feelings about it, and then used his own words about the dismissal of violence, for his right to own guns. The entire thing was ironic. I posted it.

By the next day I was informed about a doxing website my statement made it on to. And the calls and emails, comments, and threats begin pouring in. To my social media, my work, and even some friends’ social media. I received detailed death threats. I guess the “freedom of speech” people weren’t happy about my speech. I never once called for violence, just commented on violence. In the end it is what it is, I guess. It’s day 3. Oh the joy! The death threats haven’t stopped. I stopped counting at 200. Stopped caring to read them. I’m pretty used to right wing nut bags spreading hate at me. I mean, I’m me. It makes sense.

So this doxxing website creates bots. These bots take it and spread it all over socials.. then the nuts jump on. Share it. Like a frantic feeding frenzy. Maybe in part they are correct. I mean about me celebrating the death of other humans. I was happy when women-killing serial killers died, I literally threw a party when Ronald Regan died, and again when Rush Limbaugh died. When Bin Laden was killed, and when the guy that killed my friend’s kid died, I celebrated. Perhaps, I do need more therapy. I’m not a violent person by nature. Even watching this man I couldn’t stand, that spread hate and getting shot was hard for me. And this scum bag literally called for trans people to be “dealt with” like men did “in the 50s and 60s”. My friends. My family. This man that spewed hate at every debate. I don’t like gun violence. I just don’t. I witnessed a bad killing once. It scarred me for life. To see someone’s life end in front of your eyes. One second here, a second later gone. I’m an empathetic person. Then to read that he was ended by one of his own. Not one of us leftists anarchist types. But one of his white god-fearing capitalist types.

Again… It’s fucking ironic. I wonder if any of these Nazi fucks will end my life over a stupid fucking post on Facebook. And if so, will they believe that the world is a better place because of it? Hatred is baggage. I guess we’ll all learn together.

Jason Potbelly is the lead singer of the Whidbey Island, Washington antifascist band Potbelly. they produced the OPP benefit “Fighting Fascism One Song At a Time” that features the their song “Throw the Brick” that prompted a call from the Kash “See You In Valhalla” Patel’s FBI earlier this year!

25 Years of Hate Having Consequences !

2025 is a milestone year and we want to give a huge THANK YOU to all of our supporters who have been in the trenches with us for the past 25 years. A lot of groups and people we have dealt with since we started are long gone: Richard Barrett, Matt Hale, the Minutemen and others! But we are still here fighting the good fight, contending with the new generation's version of hate politics. There are trying times ahead, but we believe our reality would be even worse if we did not come together to do this work. If you value the research and reporting that we have done at One People’s Project and Idavox- and you want to see it continue- we hope you will consider helping to keep our mission fired up.
