A controversial 'pro-rape pick-up artist' is posting the personal details of journalists who have criticised him online.
Daryush Valizadeh - also known as Roosh V - is infamous for arguing that raping women should be legal on private property.
Labelled 'Operation Bullhorn', Roosh has asked his online supporters to 'adopt' a journalist and post their details on his forum. They have been instructed to gather photos, Facebook profiles and have even been told to save addresses for possible future use.

One forum user said the backlash was 'because women are scared that they won't be able to get a free lunch anymore by virtue of having a vagina.'

The meet-ups, set to take place today, were cancelled after Roosh claimed he feared for the safety of his supporters.
The move follows criticism of international meetups between Roosh V and his followers which were cancelled after he claimed he feared for the safety of his supporters

Student journalist Emma Healey, 21, was featured on the list after writing an article for The Tab Leeds.
'It's really quite scary - all I was doing was writing a news story. I definitely didn't see this coming, but I received a message last night from someone in America letting me know that I was on this list.
'It's really odd because I am the only student journalist on there. I'm unpaid, yet I'm still a target.
'I've spent a lot of today walking around on edge - but if they're reacting like this, then it's clear I'm doing the right thing.
'They wouldn't have reacted like this if it wasn't a threat. It's just a testament to the power of words.'

for doing something similar to this.

As president of SHAC USA, Kjonaas posted the home addresses and telephone numbers of Huntingdon employees on the group’s website. Sometimes Kjonaas helped organize protests in front of workers’ homes. When he couldn’t make it to a demonstration, he posted other people’s accounts of the event, even when they included acts of vandalism. He saw himself as a conduit for information. “Since it wasn’t my words going on the site, I felt I had no place to censor,” Kjonaas says. “Of course, now that it’s my ass being indicted, those words are being censored.”

On May 20, 2004, Kjonaas and six other SHAC members were indicted by a New Jersey grand jury on federal charges that they had orchestrated an interstate campaign of terrorism and intimidation in violation of the Animal Enterprise Protection Act. The law, originally passed in 1992, was strengthened after 9/11 in response to heavy lobbying from animal-testing firms and pharmaceutical companies. The changes made it easier to convict people for attacks on animal-testing facilities and in some cases tripled mandatory jail sentences.

Granted, I understand that they "violated" the Animal Enterprise Protection Act but the crux of the case was that by posting the home addresses and telephone numbers of the employees at Huntingdon Life Sciences they committed a terroristic act but this d-bag can post female journos personal information and people will claim it's free speech. Too bad women don't have a bill that makes threats like this a terroristic act--guess we need some powerful lobbyists to help us out with that.

Someone should post his address online and tell women to go to his house and make as much noise as they can. People should also mock this guy for being afraid of women. The moment women said the would put on a counter protest to his pro rape event he cancelled his event. This guy is nothing more than a coward.
