IMO the people who threaten violence are much worse than him. I would consider posts inciting/advocating violence or harrassment to be a clear breach of the community guidelines here.
The guy's weird and has a weird fettish, but tricking people to have them sit on you is something that requires counselling, I don't know that it would even fit the definition of an assault. Maybe there needs to be some sort of social intervention order that can be used for people who don't target a single victim, that can tell someone their actions are unacceptable and if they can't follow it to make it possible to put some sorts of interventions in place.
From what I've read, after he gets someone to sit on him and hold his arms down, he starts kind of grinding his crotch against them. Definitely seems like it would qualify as molestation.
I just hope it doesn't stop people from helping when someone else actually does have an epileptic fit. I've seen it happen a couple of times.
That is pretty gross.
In regards to actually helping people having a real fit, the appropriate actions for that would be the best way to deal with this guy too - move any dangerous objects away, call 000, and the only reason you would touch them is if they are unconscious after the siezure, in which case you would roll them on their side.
