As Twitchy readers know, this morning Kurt Eichenwald went on Good Morning America and stated that some tweets were meant as a joke or that he was signaling a source? It was a bizarre explanation for the last week or so of tweets since his appearance on the Tucker Carlson show.
Not long after his interview, Eichenwald was back on Twitter tweeting about his complaint and his seizure … except we thought he was joking? Or is he not? Even we can’t keep up with all of this, sorry folks.
Twitter agreed to an expedited order in our effort to locate the user who intentionally caused me to have a seizure. https://t.co/FOb0DGnyyw

So here is the supposed paperwork for Twitter and the subpoena for the identity of his Twitter “assailant,” aka the person who sent him an animated gif that allegedly caused him to have a seizure.
No, we promise we’re not making this up, but man it sure reads that way.
He goes on …

The Daily Caller did indeed contact the Dallas PD who at the time had never heard of this complaint. Eichenwald is saying the complaint was filed yesterday.
Oh yeah, and a WARNING because yeah, that always works well with trolls; trying to scare them away will totally shut them up. He must not spend much time on Twitter, or maybe he spends TOO much time on Twitter. We’re just not sure.
Finally, a notice to those now sending strobes. We are getting your accounts canceled, one at a time. So if u want to stay on twitter, stop.

Ooooh, skeery. Yeah we get it, it’s not cool to target harass someone on Twitter but c’mon … this ain’t gonna work. Eichenwald will likely be inundated with strobing gifs after tweeting this out. If trolls really cared about people they wouldn’t be trolls in the first place. It’s sorta like telling criminals to obey the law, it ain’t gonna happen.
How have so many ppl become such sociopaths that they think its ok to assault someone if they write political stories they don't like?
— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 20, 2016
Maybe he’s not been paying attention to the Left’s behavior over the last eight years? And seriously, can you assault someone via Twitter?
Look at how many Trump followers seem to think its funny or deserved that someone used my disability as a weapon. Whats wrong with them?
— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 20, 2016
Doubtful it’s the disability that they’re laughing at, more like the odd and bizarre behavior in Eichenwald’s tweets and TV appearances.
Folks, if a blind man says things you don't like politically, it is not okay to direct him toward the edge of a cliff. Find some humanity.

Oh PLEASE – quick, someone grab a tiny violin.
