Another leftist has broadcast their fantasies of violence and murder on Twitter with seemingly no repercussions from the current platform censors.
This time, it’s a blue-check journo named Simon Gwynn. He’s a deputy news editor at Campaign US, which “is dedicated to celebrating creative excellence across the communications industry while putting creativity firmly in a business context,” according to its website.
His Cinco de Mayo retraction of sorts was as follows:
“I’ve removed my recent two tweets about the US Supreme Court as on reflection they’re obviously pretty irresponsible, though I don’t think they would be against Twitter’s TOS. FYI I don’t endorse murdering anyone, but don’t think there’s anything wrong with thought experiments.”

He followed that attempt to show contrition with, “Twitter is not often a good place for them, however.”

The pair of tweets in question were recovered by many and saved in a single tweet as seen below.
His original tweet stated:
“Interesting real life trolley problem in America right now. If you had the chance to kill Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, the two oldest right wing Supreme Court judges, should you do it while Biden can get his nominees to replace them confirmed?”
You advocated for the murder of 2 Supreme Court justices. And your saying it was an ‘abstract question’ does not change that fact.
yea, they would be against TOS pic.twitter.com/e8N3TCbbeW

Considering the rather simple and direct language of the tweets, context could hardly be considered a mitigating factor in his supposed “thought experiment,” and Gwynn was summarily lit up by a host of users on all sides, many of whom predict he’ll be getting a knock on his door from the FBI or Secret Service, or both, pretty darn quick.
I think this goes beyond a “thought experiment”, but then that’s my thought experiment. pic.twitter.com/1HIl4NN9BF

Sounds like dropping an idea and “wondering” if someone will take him up on it. Sick.

Imagine if someone on the right had intimated that it is a moral dilemma to take out Sotomayor or Kagan like you suggested for Alito and Thomas, and then even suggested how it might be done by someone who was about to die anyway?

If I tweeted your exact tweet, except I put your name in place of Judge Thomas and Judge Alito, would you think it a harmless “thought experiment”? Removing the tweets should be accompanied by a more sincere apology to the Justices.

You will be visited by the Secret Service.

I’d be curious where you think a good place would be to hypothesize the murder of two US Supreme Court justices?

@FBI needs to visit this guy immediately!! Advocating for someone to murder United States Supreme Court Justices indicates something is very wrong here. He should be looked into. Also, @TwitterSupport. Why is someone like this verified and after posting the above still on here? pic.twitter.com/ABhjVDPZGu

There are more responses than the amount at which you could shake a stick, but were Gwynn available for comment, he might say he dislikes this particular tweet the most:

Meanwhile, fencing has been erected around the Supreme Court building in anticipation of protests from pro-abortion activist groups, although no ruling on the case in question, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, has been handed down yet.

Among the many remarks on the precaution was an observation by Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan:
“They put up a wall around the U.S. Capitol to protect politicians.
They put up a wall around the Supreme Court to protect justices.
But they can’t build a wall at the southern border to protect you.”

American Wire News also reported that a far-left organization called Ruth Sent Us has published the home addresses of the six Supreme Court Justices they don’t like, with plans to protest at each of their houses ostensibly at any moment now.
“Security around Justices Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch has been ratcheted up amid the online publication of their home addresses by left-wing extremists,” wrote the outlet.
“ANNOUNCING: Walk-by Wednesday, May 11, 2022! At the homes of the six extremist justices, three in Virginia and three in Maryland. If you’d like to join or lead a peaceful protest, let us know,” the group’s website reads.
“Included on the website is a Google MyMap in which the address of each justice is marked with a pin,” the outlet reported.
