Right now hardworking Americans should be alarmed: Tim Pool says a vehicle pulled up to his Harpers Ferry property late on the night of December 5, 2025, and opened fire, though miraculously no one was hurt. Pool posted about the incident on X and said his security team is reviewing what happened, calling it a dangerous escalation in the threats facing outspoken conservatives.
Pool made plain the stakes with a blunt line — “this is the price we pay for speaking out against evil” — and reported that armed guards and a security gate may have deterred something worse. His team says it will relay findings to law enforcement, which ought to be the bare minimum response from a country that once protected speech instead of punishing it.
Local authorities were slow to confirm specifics, with reporting indicating the Harpers Ferry Police Department said the incident did not occur inside their jurisdiction and the state police initially had little information. That delay is unacceptable; when bullets are flying at a commentator’s property the public deserves fast, transparent action, not radio silence.
Patriots should also note the rapid outpouring of support from conservative figures who understand this pattern — the violent intimidation of voices that challenge the woke consensus. Leading commentators and members of Congress rightly condemned the attack and called for unity against political violence, because tolerance for targeted intimidation is a one-way street that always ends poorly.
Make no mistake: this incident lands in a year already marred by politically motivated attacks and escalating threats against public figures. The climate of rage, amplified by dishonest mainstream outlets and radical online mobs, has real-world consequences when it turns from words into bullets.
If conservatives are serious about defending free speech, we must demand swift federal and local investigations, press the law to find and prosecute whoever did this, and call out the media culture that excuses mob violence when it targets right-leaning voices. The right has the same right to safety and due process as anyone else, and we will not stand by while our people are made targets of terror for speaking truth.
This was not the first time Pool has faced threats and harassment — his properties and studios have been targeted before, and that pattern should sharpen, not soften, law enforcement urgency. Americans who believe in law and order must insist on protections for journalists and commentators across the spectrum, and we must refuse to accept intimidation as the new normal.
