User:Cyanidethistles/McKay Hatch incidents

McKay Hatch, the 16-year-old founder of the No Cussing Club, an advocacy organization from South Pasadena, California against the usage of profanity in public space, has been the subject of death threats and controversial criticizing.

In January 2009, McKay Hatch and his father, Brent Hatch, claimed to have received thousands of e-mail messages in their inbox that critcize the club in a negative or obscene manner, and death threats to their family via e-mail and phone calls. The FBI investigated the threats; no arrests were made. Other forms of harrasment included having their website and e-mail accounts hacked, $2,000 worth of pizza and porn magazines being delivered to their family home, and prostitutes being addressed to their home. Internet imageboard communities 4chan and 711chan were among those accussed of their involvement in the harrasment against Hatch.
