So if I put on a nazi blog that said something akin to um I’m going to kill all of you… Given I don’t know who they are beside username and where they are at would I be arrested? How is that different from what the 20 year old did? He was just more specific as far as I can tell.

      Ok you make a better comparison both were on a computer, both were semi specific. So all your mate to come up with another one.

        ‘I’m going to kill you all’ isnt specific.

        If you claimed a means, like shooting, or blowing up their meeting place, espespecially if that means is available to you, that adds credibility. P

        Immediacy / timing is usually needed as well. ‘One of these days im going to chuck a grenade through the window’ Vs

        “If yall protest the civil rights march in Memphis, im going to use you for target practice”

        Is probably going to get a knock on your door.

          “If yall participate in the civil rights march in Memphis, im going to use you for target practice"

          Is probably going be ignored however.

          I got a knock on my door two days ago for calling the police and they said they’re to busy for the problem, i said that’s fine if it escalates I’ll shoot them.

          10 minutes later I had visitors and a warning

          Then comment. I bet your the type of person when a friend says they are going to do something new, you will ask WHY? Instead of asking WHY NOT? You need to fill your life with more WHY NOT people.

            Genuinely, how old are you? Because the lack of sense from you makes me assume your 14 or 15.

            You’re* btw …

        Nah, this is one of those “I need a way to make this justifiable” that you’re fucked up for even asking us to entertain.
