Why? He’s an angry little man with a bike who is anti BLM. Couldn’t be a less interesting creature on this planet.

How do you figure Twitter forced this guy forward?

If you are saying distributing his photo, sure that may have helped. But that could have been done without falsely accusing and outing 2-3 other innocent people.

Agreed.

I’ll bet he’s a Fox viewer; that’s the one detail I’d like to see given.

I think the fact that a neighbor posted on Twitter to correct this means it's more likely a neighbor reported him, not Twitter.

Until the day you are misidentified for someone else, become a target of the Twitter mob, and see your life destroyed as a result. I suspect you'll have a few regrets then.

Tell us how you know that the misidentified people have had their lives destroyed, please.

Arguably Anthony Brennan has had his life destroyed. Amy Cooper has had her life destroyed too. To say nothing of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor.

He would not share the neighbor's name. This is the guy who said it is not a cop but he thinks he watches a lot of Fox News. Anyway, I just googled his name and he does indeed live on the same street.

Tony Brennan is the guy?

Sounds like he watches a lot of Murdoch’s Fox News.
Boomers radicalized into believing falsehoods by Fox is pretty much the story of our time

Bet we find out he’s a liberal who is just angry at anyone in his way on his bike.

Well, Brennan and Cooper are alive, so they have that to look forward to.

If people here who think they have had encounters with the same man are to believed, he was just pissed they were in his way.

Yes, I’d like to hear from the early posters on this thread who thought they recognized him, like the lady tying her shoe on the side of the trail who was cursed at by a cyclist trying to pass on the right. Look like the same guy?

The article I read quoted the boy as saying that he asked to see the signs and then became enraged. It sounds like MAGAism.

I’m sure it’ll be coming any minute now..... wait for it..... annnnny minute now......

Are you not on Twitter? There were massive numbers of apologies to the first doxxed guy. The information on the second was really confusing due to the utterly bizarre statement Of the organization he retired from, but once people figure out that guy 2 is not the suspect, I expect there will be.

I don’t condone the Twitter bloodhounds at all, just surprised that you seem to think there are no mea culpas.

New poster. Re: the bold, all the Twitter mea culpas in the world won't undo doxxing that's already happened, fear experienced by family members, damage control that wrongly accused people have had to do. I'm not referring solely to this one case but to the whole "we're detectives and will out you!" culture so accelerated by social media. By the time the real criminal is legitimately identified and law enforcement is handling it, it's too late. Apologies after the fact to wrongly identified people are cold comfort, especially if their names live on in Google searches as "suspects."

That’s a different point than the PP made though. The PP suggested there were no twitter apologies for the misidentifications and that’s not accurate at all at the time they posted.

I agree the Twitter sleuthing is reprehensible when they name people without proof. But how about since we are on DCUM, not Twitter, we acknowledge that Jeff did a fantastic job of moderating this discussion and removing the names of people IDd only by Twitter? This has been a really satisfying thread, and he played a huge role in keeping it focused.

The entire racing Armstrong-wannabee community needs to be videotaped and outed. Brennan is only the tip of the iceberg. They've taken over all the trails, and they use aggressive tactics to let you know you are not welcomed on their turf.

+1 they seem to have gotten more obnoxious during quarantine. Just had one breeze through the stop sign at prince & union in old town and then swear his head off at my family (including kids) bc we had assumed he would stop so had started to go. Later in our walk we saw the same guy yelling at others

I rather enjoy shouting "slow down, lycra jackass" at those types when out on walks or runs,.

Yes this has been established. I posted a photo of a tweet from his neighbor that indicated he is fox viewer. This tweet came out a couple of days ago by a twitter user who claimed the others accused were not the guilty ones and that he knows his neighbor did it and he was being questioned. He did not share Brennan's name, but he did indicate he watches Fox News. Since then, he has made his twitter private. The photo I posted (which redacted the names) was deleted.
