A man in an orange sweatshirt rushed the stage. He was not in law enforcement, but a Wikipedia contributor on the conference’s “trust and safety team”: Richard Knipel, the City University of New York’s “Wikimedian-in-residence.” He grabbed the gunman from behind.
Another Wikipedian on the trust and safety team, Andrew Lih, had been standing watch in the aisle and charged forward, too.
Wikipedia’s “Trust and Safety” team does NOT fuck around!
I think we need trust and safety teams in every neighborhood at this point.
That’s usually called the neighborhood watch
It was supposed to be the police, but they only care if you’re wealthy.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun are good guys who have empathy and a desire to see others live.

I gotta say, I empathise with him on his cause too. We need to stop equating the act of child abuse with the innate sexual to children. You’d think that by this point in time, society would be ready to accept that sexual attraction is not something people have a choice over.

I understand what you’re saying, but society isn’t ever going to get to the point where they want to tackle this brain problem in a logical way.
We have reached peak humanity.
Wow, a pedo apologist in the wild. Didn’t have that on my bingo card for today.
