      Seems entirely apropos of the post actually to make light of his cowardice. Also apropos: this story is making me feel weird in that I don’t think I would feel one bit bad if Trump actually was assassinated by one of these crazies. And that’s a bad thing to say and a bad thing to feel about anyone and I kind of despise him even more for making me think it. But someday he might replace the Hitler baby as the common time travel trope. And now I’ve Godwinned this whole thing and am done. I’m not gonna be arrested now, am I?

    I heard something on the radio this morning about a Trump supporter in Connecticut being arrested for posting videos on YouTube about planning to kill liberals. Great election season, everybody! Keep up the great work!

      I keep waiting to wake up. Like, this has to be a bad dream. My fellow Americans can’t possibly be this fucking stupid and hateful. But it’s not a dream. People are awful, the planet is dying, intelligence is not considered a virtue, nobody gives a fuck about anything that isn’t Kardashian or NFL related, and now I start drinking at 10:00 AM to forget it all.

      Well, if you heard it on the radio Saturday morning in Connecticut, it must be true.

    I don’t care how you feel about him, he’s still a presidential candidate. You can yell at him, call him names, and even beat up his supporters (which shouldn’t be OK, but there you have it). But death threats are serious business.

    Now, why the police have trouble taking online death threats against non-presidential candidates seriously, I don’t know.

      How legitimate is a death threat from a 15 year old who will never get within a mile of the person he is threatening?

      Extreme Danger.

      spend >6 hours alone with a 15 year old male and you will kill yourself.

    Threatening hypothetical violence from Nowhere Georgia= BAD

    Inciting actual violence from a podium to a mob=PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE

    When I was a teenager we had to go to the post office and mail our death threats to psychotic orange presidential candidates.

      This was my first thought. Online threats are only serious if they are against wealthy well-known men, I guess.

    I’d like to think this is about bright kids terrified about the idea of graduating college into the smoking ruins of a post-President-Drumpf economy.

    I don’t think that’s what this is about.

    And yet, Limbaugh and Colter can talk about how all liberals should be killed and are never taken to task by any law enforcement agency.

      It’s a little over-the-top to say that Coulter says all liberals should be killed, but here’s a sampling of quotes from her:

      https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ann_Coult…

      I wouldn’t kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn’t want to impose my moral values on others.

      I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo.

      The Democrats complain about the Republican base being nuts … The nuts are their entire party … They’re always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let’s do it. Let’s repress them. … Frankly, I’m not a big fan of the First Amendment.

      “Ann Coulter on tour: “I think a baseball bat is the most effective way these days” to talk to liberals”

      We should be fingerprinting environmentalists

      Gays have got to be pro-life. As soon as they find the gay gene, guess who the liberal yuppies are going to start aborting.

      if you pass amnesty, that’s it. It’s over. Then we organize the death squads for the people who wrecked America.

    And yet when anyone else threatens anyone else online every LE officer says oh there's nothing we can do to stop them.

      I was speaking about the hoards of other people who threaten, stalk, dox and swat others with zero repercussions. But sure make it about republicans and democrats.

    Don’t these teens know the Supreme Court says you can only make death threats online if they’re rap lyrics?
