RWarehall: But seriously, it seems the bar for calling something a death threat has become quite low. Apparently single word Tweets like "die" are now a threat.
Starmaker: They kind of are, when addressed to public people during a shitstorm. There absolutely are people who express their
sincere wishes that, e.g. abortion doctors got lead poisoning, fully expecting and hoping someone acts on their wish. There are currently some fuckers suing PP on behalf of the murdered people whose argument is that the sincere wishes were a serious enough threat for PP to move into Cheyenne mountain, which they neglectfully didn't do.
Did you look at the article? The examples of the so called "death threats"...all four of them...
"die rat die rat die rat die rat die rat die rat die rat die rat die rat die rat die rat,"
"die"
"Kill.your.self"
"die" [again]
If that is the bar for death threats, there are probably many people on this forum who have been issued public death threats...using the most ridiculous definition ever...
