"If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged." (attribution disputed per wiki) As I read it, it was not a threat. It was sarcasm. Maybe you need sarcasm tags, but it was trash talk. Observe. "I’m going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts". Look I just said the same thing that kid did, but now it's a quote of someone else's speech. Did I just make a terrorist threat? No, because the context clearly shows that it's not a threat. Just as his context showed that it was not serious.
