I once had a neighbor who threatened to stab me. He was quite serious.

I called the cops, who said that they can’t legally do anything to someone who is just making threats.

So, yeah. Trying to shift the onus of blame onto Dupnik for this incident is just a very poorly, very thinly veiled attempt by certain interests to demonize and discredit a man who uttered a truth that they don’t want people to hear.
