Twenty-year reunions stir up a lot of old memories... and sometimes some very bad ones. A man in Georgia posted threats on his Facebook reunion page claiming he would get even with those who bullied him in high school. Police said Jason Moss threatened to kill his classmates at the reunion. Police say Mr. Moss claimed he avoided his graduation ceremony because he "would have started the Columbine shootings early."

People are always tougher when they are safely posting from mommy & daddy's basement.

No one should EVER threaten someone over the internet. They're just cowards.

No not really. Maybe if it was a mature big threat then yeah probably. But I'm not scared mostly.

yeah they do sometimes but more than often people just accept anyone so when people send threats they can just delete, block, spam or report them

First of all, you'd have to hunt down my address, because it isn't something that I just give out. Most of my close friends don't know where I live. Secondly, I would say that 9 times out of 10, it's some coward who wouldn't dare act like that in public. I mean, just look at YouTube comments.

If people don't have the balls to back up in person the bull they say online, then they literally mean nothing more than someone to laugh and bash at more.

Here's an idea...don't make threats online!! Like seriously....how stupid can you be? If multiple people can see your threats than you can obviously get in trouble for them if they are severe enough.

Bad idea.
Catastrophically stupid of them, actually.

I do recall some idiots spreading a rumour that they would assassinate __ at the senior prom once years ago. Never saw it happen, probably thinking if I brought my girlfriend then it might have turned out different. Should have stayed home than waste time at someplace where you are not welcomed by some. Cruel student body I was a part of. I just hope those morons knock out the immaturity when reunion 2017 comes around. I will keep my guard up even while I am there just in case some thug gets out of hand. ;-)

Regardless. The humans that treated that him badly should mend the fences as good as they can apologizing in a sincere way to calm the rage in the human that was wronged. The one wanting harm will in the end harm himself.

Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris began by making threats via video, journal, and internet blogs........look what happened there.

Every threat should be taken seriously.

No, because I don't reveal any extremely personal information here- no numbers, addresses or names of places I work and dwell. There are people who are capable of violence everywhere online, but they can't hurt you if you don't tell them where you are.

Not personally, however, a threat to the president or other public official should be taken seriously. There are some dangerous, mentally ill people out there. What happened in Arizona is proof that some carry out their fantasies.

Call it what you will, but there are serious creeps who get on there and mean what they say. You can either be prepared and serious, even if it isn't real, or you can be stupid and consider, "Well, maybe they don't mean it." Newsflash, people, our society isn't going to redeem itself anytime soon. That's when the tragedies happen, because people would rather assume than think of anything that might include messing with their comfort zones.

All threats do is Warn your Prey and put them on their guard.I ran into a guy who used to bully me in high school when i was 6'3" and 165 lbs. I ran into him at the 15-year reunion when I was 6'4" and 250 lbs. So, instead of threatening him, I took a page from an old Archie comic book and bet him $20 I could give him a black eye without touching him. He was drunk and stupid and took the bet. So I punched his lights out, right in the eye and then paid him the Twenty. "Oh, Gee. I LOST. Here's your money." I asked him if he wanted to go double or nothing but he was wise to it by then.
