Man Arrested for Posting Threats on Facebook Reunion Page: Do Online Threats Scare You?

Some,but not worth doing. After you regret doing it, its too late to take it back.

The worst a Keyboard gangster do is ship me a virus, and I'll just go to Best buy and it'll be fixed in an hour.

Dangerous people don't tell you squat.

They don't have the guts to do it, so they tell you they're going to do it. It's just a bunch of bull.

chianletters are then most hilarious
- cool story bro

If you want some of this bring it on...I could use some more practice..

It is done to keep the fear of the government in you....... This is no longer America

It's not the threats that hurt you...it's the sneaky guy you never see coming.

I've learned that for the most part threats are made by weak people.

People who pose a real threat wont ever tell you that they're coming; they just show up one day...

Exactly.

That's kinda the problem.

It's not the dogs with 'the loudest bark' that you need to worry about...

oh my goodness SPOOKY 'cause its SOOO true meli!!!!

Exactly, I was just reading about that in a book.

"Threats are rarely spoken from a position of power. Most often they represent desperation, not intention."

"How one responds to a threat determines whether it will be a valuable instrument or mere words. Thus, it is the listener and not the speaker who decides how powerful a threat will be"
(Becker "The Gift of Fear" pg 109).

Yup.

Interesting sounding book.

I'll have to check it out.

i've been threatened before, and they've all been empty, so they tend not to worry me

Although most of them are nothing a person only need one to be real.

I worked for Ma Bell,(New York branch) I have been threatened by the best of them for not returning their quarter LOL Bring it.

When someone really wants to make good on a threat, they rarely make the overt threat to begin with because doing so could possibly cause them to lose an opportunity to strike. Verbal threats from afar are, usually, empty.

This guy committed a lesser crime by making threats and, therefore, foiled his own potential revenge. (thank goodness) However, I believe he wouldn't have actually gone to the reunion. Instead of showing up and making good on his threats, I think he would have stayed home, feeling like a loser. (like his graduation) He obviously didn't think this whole thing through.

My sympathies are with him, despite his actions, because bullies do real and lasting damage.

Yes but some of the most famous have been bullied.So people can go through this and lead a normal life.But we need to understand the difference between bullying and crime like rape , perpetuated voilence resulting in physical loss , molestation while the psychological responsibilty of bullying is as expected by the society of the bullied.

You said, "the psychological responsibilty of bullying is as expected by the society of the bullied"

And I say; What society accepts and what is wrong are sometimes one in the same.

Some people who get bullied are not mentally stable.

Yes

No not at all I have had in the past 2 different people on line threaten me I gave them my address and told them to bring a gun with them ... one guy was a truck driver said he would drive his truck through my house I LMAO over that one

nah, I don't see a reason to be.

I think some of them could be serious !

Yes u are right .We need to keep an open mind towards it.

As with SodaHJead I do NOT post my information. The only threat I would receive on FaceBook is from family or family friends.

I do think anyone threatening or whatever on ANY site is too stupid for their own good.
I do not accept requests unless I know them personally on FaceBook.

Wouldn't that make you some kind of "On-Line-A-Phobic?"

if they don't say it to my face though i don't give a eff about them

When my number's up, it's up, no matter who or what is the cause. I hope, though, that I never caused anyone harm while in high school. I don't think I did. ;-)

The Government scars me... But individuals do not.

Any threat scares me if they are being aggressive.

I do not state enough information for them to carry out those meaningless threats.

This is a standing reminder, that the united states has too many prisons, and not enough mental institution. facilities.

You can never be too careful. It's easy to assume that people online are harmless, but people have more ways of finding out information than you know. People need to be aware of that.
