- rovolo 3y agoThe "bait" this comment is referring to is that a Sheriff publicly denounced in a press conference a bunch of neo-nazi messaging spread around his town during a racecar event. https://www.jta.org/2023/04/27/united-states/a-florida-sheriff-is-on-the-warpath-against-neo-nazi-scumbags-who-want-him-dead https://www.jta.org/2023/04/27/united-states/a-florida-sheri... The sheriff's parents' house was swatted. These are the 4chan posts which were included in the various news articles. https://sports.yahoo.com/4chan-2-men-used-online-170958670.html https://sports.yahoo.com/4chan-2-men-used-online-170958670.h... > "It's too bad Mike Chitwood isn’t safe now that I'm planning to kill him. I'm going to shoot Mike Chitwood. I'm going to kill him by shooting him to death." > "Just shoot Chitwood in the head and he stops being a problem. They have to find a new guy to be the problem. But shooting Chitwood in the head solves an immediate problem permanently. Just shoot Chitwood in the head and murder him." https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2023/04/20/3rd-4chan-user-accused-of-threatening-to-kill-volusia-sheriff-mike-chitwood/ https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2023/04/20/3rd-4chan... > “I WILL KILL CHITWOOD, MARK MY WORDS.”
- rejectfinite 3y agoYes for specific threatening posts. You cannot see a difference, I guess?
- rovolo 3y ago"This comment" is referring to lbatross13, not to you. I'm uninterested in talking to lbatross13; I was adding context for other readers.
- ikiris 3y agoBecause threatening a law enforcement officer is actually illegal. and your scare quotes don't make it less of a crime.
