At most, the fliers had violated a littering ordinance, but the operators feared they could inspire violence. Stetz-Waters and Costa advised people to avoid spreading them further: Don’t post the fliers on social media. Don’t visit the websites they advertise. Don’t give the creators more attention.
The other operators preferred to shield their identities. Hecklers had become regulars, threatening to publish their names and addresses on the internet. Some made vague threats, such as “watch your back” — which was free speech, not criminal intimidation, since they didn’t specify when, where and why the operators should watch their backs.
