Whether you like Jordan Shanks or not... he has a YouTube channel with almost 700k subscribers and his videos regularly chalk up 100k-200k views.  That's not huge on the general scale of Youtubers, but his content is very specifically Australian, and generally fairly NSW focused.  Under the circumstances, I think it is unfair to describe him as a "fringe" comedian.  I suspect he's getting views 2x to 3x what Peta Credlin or Paul Murray might get... which is impressive, given his very amateur production.

More importantly, though, is the fact that he's reported on political corruption at the local, state and federal election, as well reporting on organised crime.  The fact that this looks very clearly to be retribution for that, should be damn scary people.  Bikies that shoot up houses a few times a month, are usually shooting up rival gangs.  In other words... other criminals. 

If a bikie gang firebombed a two-bit hack from the Herald Sun, it would probably be national headlines.
