The guy went down a rabbit hole that eventually led to him deciding to kidnap and/or murder a sitting US Representative because of a fucking youtube comment? Jesus Christ. This fucking country...

Oh god, your comment is making me go down a path I hadn't ever considered before. For whoever reads this in the future, just know that @elbucho pushed me to do it.
