It is good to know this guy is terrified of the consequences of his own actions. I'm sure his hired meat shield will stop and mitigate some threats. I doubt they will stop and mitigate them all.

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

We should feed his paranoia. Everyone should start messaging him on Twitter warning him of the prospect of mosquito-sized suicide drone assassins. Warn him there are rumors that he is the target of a group developing this technology.
Let's see if we can drive him truly mad. We'll turn him into a proper Howard Hughes in no time. He'll lock himself in a hermetically sealed bunker 24/7. And that's when the real demons kick in....

That's what happens when you're an unlikable piece of shit who's irresponsible actions ruins peoples lives irl
Imagine being such a loser that the only job you qualify for is taking a bullet for the worst member of the parasite class.
In the olden times, it was a big point of pride of American politics that a lot of people didn't want to kill the leaders. It was sort of assumed that in feudal style European politics, of course the common people kind of wanted to kill you, because you were threatening their safety and taking their stuff. In America, the way we did things was to earn the respect of the people you governed. The people actually wanted this person to be in charge. Why would I shoot that guy? That's who we picked, we like him.
Of course there are some caveats (slavery large among them). The reality never matched up to the ideal. But we're going back to where even the approximation of consent of the governed that we used to have, isn't assumed anymore. Fuckin bullshit

it's almost like championing certain 'activists' and then being shocked when people don't like you is a predictable outcome. who'd have thought.
What's alarming to me is that this shows me they don't experience fear. It sounds like to them, it's an inconvenience.
So if they can't be motivated by fear, are they actually motivated by money?
I don't think so. I think they're motivated by power. Wealth has no meaning to them - you can observe the behaviors of a lot of them (with like extremely rare exceptions and they are usually the only ones not born into wealth) and they don't match up with enjoying life.
They don't seem to experience joy. So if they don't experience any emotion, that gives them a pretty concrete diagnosis of sociopathy doesn't it? So, we have the worst of the worst humans doing as much damage to the world as possible because they can't feel.
Yeah, very concrete diagnosis of sociopathy. Except that diagnosis doesn't exist. Please, leave the diagnosis to professionals. Not knowing the correct name is the first sign you shouldn't be doing it.

20 bodyguards and 1 child human shield.
His bodyguards must be lucky all the time, whereas...
And that’s just to protect him from his kids.
Good to see that Elmo lives in fear of consequences. I hope the cunt can't have a crap in peace. His body guards are on the wrong side of history, and ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Ohhh, poor baby. Maybe, this was entirely preventable? Just maybe?
To be fair, one could argue that that is a cherished Afrikaner cultural tradition.
