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.

    ‘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.
