Mr. A**holeSolo thus declares that he has gotten his mind right. Kaczynski accordingly declines at this time to disclose his identity. Lest there be any backsliding, however, Kaczynski “reserves the right” to out him:
CNN is not publishing “HanA**holeSolo’s” name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.
CNN and Kaczynski owe Mr. A**holeSolo an apology on at least two counts. First, Kaczynski to the contrary notwithstanding, Mr. A**holeSolo didn’t make “calls for violence against the press.” Whatever Mr. A**holeSolo’s faults, his view of the GIF as satire is far more balanced than the unhinged response of CNN and its friends among the Democrats’ media adjunct.
Second, Kaczynski shouldn’t have threatened to out Mr. A**holeSolo if he backslides. To exercise his own rights in the future, Mr. A**holeSolo will now either have to seek preclearance review of future comments intended for public consumption or subject himself to the arbitrary judgment of the likes of Andrew Kaczynski.
Mr. A**holeSolo will not exercise his rights subject to the sufferance of Andrew Kaczynski. Mr. A**holeSolo may not know a lot, but he knows enough to keep his mouth shut (as the the hashtag #CNNBlackmail suggests).

It's coming, he's following the correct procedures by allowing them to provide ample evidence prior to his actions.
Appearances are NOT deceiving.
“That CNN totally bullied this guy into a bloody pulp is alarming!”
Easy to do when that person is 15 years-old.
O’Keefe just tweeted he’s releasing more CNN videos today.
Dogpile
Yeah, I kind of see this as a figurative “I feared for my life” defense.
If you shoot someone — for whatever reason — you tell the cops “I feared for my life”.
If CNN is hassling you — no matter how you happen to feel about it — totally collapse and beg for mercy. When your day in court comes around, the Judge will understand that you acted under duress because of the unconscionable level of pressure that was put upon you by a powerful and scary media behemoth.
Too soon to start throwing charges around until all the information has been verified, however, the social media pummeling will prove to be just as damaging as any official indictment.
I kinda hope that someone outs A**holeSolo because no matter who does it now, it’ll reflect back on cnn. Yeah, it’s a bit heartless to think that way but war is war.
It was a “news” organization in “the old days”, now just a relic in the tar pits. An archeological curiosity.
The kids parents should already be suing CNN.
“Did a someone at Reddit (an overwhelmingly liberal website) give CNN this person’s information?”
Just because CNN is owned by Time Warner, who also owmes Reddit is no reason to suggest a conspiracy. Nothing to see here.. /s
Just my opinion but when your got Him on your side you have all you need.
No! No! That’s what they want. Keep them in but don’t call on them. Their antics could make great comedy.
Bkmrk.
Before CNN starts high fiving themselves they might want to check out #CNNBlackmail on Twitter. It’s a massacre.
I predict CNN will be “bawwwwing with butthurt” in the near future. It’s summertime.....and some people have a lot more time on their hands.
