Discerning a threat versus a stupid post online

Okay, I understand if you’re a public figure you should have no expectation of privacy, and if you have a strong opinion, one day someone will make a threat against you.

Of course, there are some people out there that have gotten really creative and can make a threat sound pretty credible if they have some good audio software editing, networking knowledge, and pen testing abilities.

But I’ve noticed some people really can’t understand the difference between an Internet tough guy aggressively saying something stupid, versus someone actually locating your living location, buying plane tickets to your state, hiring other hit men, loading up fire arms, with zip ties, bags, and lock picks in their possession.

Some of the funniest arguments I’ve seen is when someone is losing an internet fight, and if the guy’s on Twitter they’ll either tag their local PD, their nation’s Intel or Federal Law Enforcement Agency, and be like, “ha! got you saying you were going to hit me if were face to face!”

Dude, I grew up in the old days of the Internet before normies came in and ruined everything. If someone said something stupid to me or I lost an Internet argument, I’d close my web browser and try to rethink my strategy. People said some crazy stuff back then as well, and no 400 lb hacker named 4chan ever came to my house and make me the main character in a snuff film like on the “HOLY S~~~!!!!! BROWSING SCARY DEEP WEB HITMAN SITES” videos you see on YouTube.

Some of the stupidest arguments in the world take place between keyboard warriors. The web adds around +100 tough guy points to any would-be enforcer. Some of the most vile are women who have a real problem with an appendage know as the penis. They literally blame everything on the penis. Seen it too many times.

We live in an age where folks get rounded up by the thought police for online wrong-speak. The UK is really bad; it’s okay for terrorists to call for jihad but DARE criticize that and *poof* Scotland Yard kicks down the door. Of course the land of snow Mexicans is going this route too.

I try and avoid these s~~~ tantrums but it’s funny to watch, the SJWs are notorious for cannibalizing each other, it’s pure gold when the Oppression Olympics are on.

If women ran the world = It would become the shithole you are seeing.

It’s real simple. If the person making the threat actually knows who you are and where you live, the threat shoulf be taken seriously. If you know that’s not possible, which is 99% of the time, don’t worry about it. Everybody has turned into children these days.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

Think about this logically if you are going to risk prison time by intentionally doing someone harm would you really post about it on a public forum.

Somehow I think not, retarded concept really.

Anyone capable of pulling off a organised planned attack are keep their mouth-hole shut.

Criminals are in perpetual stealth/ghost mode.
