What do you think about the so called "Gang Stalking"?

You know the Dramatic Chipmunk? He’s turning around to look at me, I just know it.

Becklynn. We are on to you.

Cool story bro.

There is no rank of Sarge[a]nt in the U.S. Navy.

Before the public internet was created? That’s some neat trick.

Which of the two are you?

OK, that’s enough Beckylynn.

But they don’t band together to do it.

This phenomenon reminds me of women who do their grocery shopping in a part of town where they don’t know anybody, because big crowds of people follow them around the store and laugh at them, and they know that everyone who sees them will spend the rest of the day talking about them, their kids if they have them with them, and what they bought.

:rolleyes: :confused: :smack:

ETA: I see that I already posted on this board.

What an interesting website.

I didn’t read the whole thing, but I did notice a link regarding Colin Ross, who was prominent in furthering the ritual Satanic abuse hysteria of some years back. He also claimed to be able to shoot energy out of his eyes and make a stereo speaker hum (which is rather anticlimatic for energy beams, IMO).

The estimable Dr. Ross is, I believe, convinced that the CIA is behind it all.

I’m guessing we are venturing into shiny headgear territory, but what do I know.

I had never seen or heard the term “doxing” until I saw this thread.

With a few exceptions, teenagers are going to be the only people with the time to do something like this in the first place.

:dubious:

I can’t wait to tell my CIA friend about you!

He already knows.

That’s it, Becklynn. You’re outa here.

Is this like the Candyman? If you post the link three times, does the FBI come out of your mirror?

I’ve had to edit some of your posts to remove the links posted by the recently departed.

Carry on.

Part of the cover-up, obviously.

Probably a good thing you Banned her - I was going to organize a campaign where everyone sent her a Friend request at once. And that would have been inappropriate.

What would be good ways to help people suffering from gang stalking, either on this thread or in real life? It doesn’t seem like recommending they get help does any good since they think you’re one of the stalkers (and the doctors as well).

Anonymous get-well cards?

It’s not a delusion if it’s really happening, right? So organize a gang.

What a terrible article. Good Men Project is starting to look like Jezebel to me now. Just completely dishonest and irrelevant clickbait.

I don’t see anything in the article that even mentions what gang stalking is. They mention harassment, they mention persecution, they mention “tactics” but what the hell are the alleged stalkers actually doing? The only concrete actions specified were referring to a fictional television show and all it said was that she couldn’t get service at her favorite restaurants.

This whole article has basically zero content. It’s a lot of words signifying nothing.

Is there anything to this phenomenon at all? Or is it, like the first reply said, basically just a symptom of mental illness?

Except, of course, when they aren’t - when I was 14 I told the school authorities I was being harassed, threatened, and bullied and they referred me to mental health counseling… until I was found beaten bloody and unconscious in a school hallway. Oh, it seems I WAS under threat and not crazy!

Even when it seems likely that such a belief may be delusional it should still be seriously investigated. Such things do happen in the world. That, and mentally ill people can also be quite vulnerable targets as well.

It’s bullying.

And yes, I can see where total strangers might get involved - think of newsworthy stories where someone accused of something (just accused - not actually convicted) starts receiving anonymous death threats over the internet, harassing phone calls, graffiti on their home, etc. Or the publication of personal information of someone the initial bully disagrees with, followed by the encouragement to harass said person, even commit felonies against them such as rape, or follow their kids around.

Such things have occurred, and have been reported in the news.

Basically, it’s a form of harassment where the initial instigator is able to get more allies on his/her side to join in the harassment. It can be small scale with just a few people or large scale if social media gets involved.

That doesn’t me every person who reports such a thing is legit - there are definitely some forms of mental illness that can see this where it doesn’t exist - but like I said, if reported it should be looked into because these things can and do happen. It’s not even new - that’s what we have slander and libel laws for.
