"Death threats" are so overplayed I don't take anyone claiming to get them seriously anymore. It's often a lie and when it isn't it's a comment clearly written

  It's kind of a catch-22, isn't it? You don't take the threats seriously, nothing happens: no one notices. You don't take the threats seriously, something happens: "why didn't you take the threats seriously? It's your own fault." Sometimes the threats are serious and something happens.

    > Sometimes the threats are serious and something happens. Yeah that's when you hear "we were aware of the shooter" and a dozen police officers stand outside the classroom for an hour while they go hog wild. Since we are all dead and damned either way, why worry? Giving false threats power in aggregate probably causes more harm than ignoring them, especially since the response when paying attention is so ineffective.
