Why do these people never have to actually go to prison for this shit? If I posted creepy violent death threats about a former president, I’d expect to get a warning visit from the federales the first time I did it, and a few years in a federal lockup if I kept doing it.
Is it just that the FBI doesn’t want to lock up fellow Republicans?
Does anybody take these kinds of things seriously as death threats?
I have PLENTY of friends who expressed disappointment on social media that the would-be assassins in Butler and West Palm failed. It’s uncouth, but not criminal.
She seems nice.
With fascists – including cowards like this – you never can be sure once they’re given or take power.
At least sometimes it gets treated as real threats:
He must not be a rich politician.
A threat is real even if you don’t carry out the actions you threaten.
Well, that depends on who the target is. When the target is the orange sh*thead, then someone like Kathy Griffin gets her social media accounts suspended and gets put on the no-fly list.
She sounds like the sort of person who should be kept away from children - also adults.
All the best people.
For much the same reason you don’t see Batman beating on Bruce Wayne.
