Trolling can be as simple as rick rolling someone or telling people that "Alt+F4" will make your game run faster. This is so far past trolling that there should be a better descriptor for it. Inciting terrorist activities is criminal, not trolling.

It&#x27;s exceptionally disingenuous to describe this as either trolling or a fun exercise in free speech rights. It is neither.

Anyone up for collecting all his &#x27;contributions&#x27;? This would be a goldmine for forensic text analysis and authorship attribution studies&#x2F; proof that they are all sensitive to context of the text. Prof. Patrick Juola, if you&#x27;re reading this, the public would absolutely benefit from public research on this. Anyone in stylometry here? Drexel grads?

Describing this guy as a troll is dismissive&#x2F;revisionist. He was a terrorist, even if he was not the exact variety of terrorist that he was presenting himself as.

Criminal complaint: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.justice.gov&#x2F;usao-mdfl&#x2F;file&#x2F;769491&#x2F;download" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.justice.gov&#x2F;usao-mdfl&#x2F;file&#x2F;769491&#x2F;download</a> (I assume this is allowed?)

I&#x27;m always shocked by how much damage a single sociopath can do.

On his Reddit account, he writes:<p>Jews aren&#x27;t white or human, despite being Jewish himself.<p>Makes me wonder how many internet white nationalists are in person self-hating minorities<p>But this big story is the thwarted bomb attack, which is why he was arrested. The trolling is secondary.

&quot;The suspect is a Jewish American, who possesses dual citizenship in the United States and Israel, is identified by law enforcement as 20-year-old Joshua Ryne Goldberg&quot;<p>And here are a few of his Reddit accounts.<p>&#x2F;u&#x2F;European88 (behind most of the &quot;racism&quot; subs)<p>&#x2F;u&#x2F;Gas-the-kikes<p>&#x2F;u&#x2F;kill_all_pakis<p>&#x2F;u&#x2F;Nuke_Europe<p>There is going to be a lot of digging on this character it will be interesting to see if accomplices turn up of if he was just a lone wolf.
