This is a twitter post of a screenshot. There's almost no substance here. We don't know why or even if this happened. So the immediate leap to talk of violence as a reaction is incendiary.

It’s happening. You can’t find GME on Robinhood unless it’s in one of your lists, and when you do it says “This stock is not supported in Robinhood”.

There are millions of users of this app, and it’s easy enough to verify - why the skepticism?

Only because I think it's prudent to wait until more information is available (than was provided in the original link) before talking about violent repercussions.

I have little doubt that it's happening, but the twitter link was not substantive in comparison to:
