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

Most of these clowns are gutless spineless idiots you report them, then don't give them the time of day as their not worth it.

Personally I find reunions therapeutic as you get to see all the people from your old high school that wanted to take on the world and do wondrous things end up being ditch diggers or something. Lets not forget the Jocks that show up at these reunions fat and bald.
Very comical.

Just a bunch of cowards hiding behind a monitor and living out their fantasies. As much as their guts will let them live out anyway.

Unless one of them just happens to be an obsessed hacker.

Chances of that are slim, but you really never know who you're talking to on the other end, nor what they are capable of.

I underestimate no one.

Best not to, I guess.

Agreed.

I said yes because why it might not do me or some people no harm, some people will try and carry the act. And that's what scary.

I've never been threatened on line but if I were I'd tell them to bring it on,me and my 357 Magnum are waiting patiently for you

Any one can be a "tough guy" on a key board.

why would i be afraid of someone hundreds possibly thousands of miles away?

I'll kill you for posting such a question! In Halo :P !

All I can say is "If any one feels froggy, then jump." If all have to worry about is the spineless online then I'm pretty safe.

It's when they show up afterwards with the baseball bat that's the scary part.
Of course, when old classmates and school reunions are involved, you never know.

There's a lot to be said for being AWARE ..
taking seriously any POSTED THREAT of Violence ..
Doesn't matter what happened in the past
(really .. should have moved on long ago)

It is NOT a 'joke' .. it is NOT 'funny' .. to be shot at .. stabbed .. or endure any act of violence ..

I'd say in this case .. by posting what he did ..
He Uttered a threat ..
and to take it seriously
(remember the unabomber manifestos? How about the Weather Underground? There's so many other groups that I could mention that uttered threats .. released them to the press .. )

This was appropriate given the situation .. especially since it was personally directed .. (and the person uttering this .. was well-acquainted with the classmates too)

I'm not so sure I would be scared, but I would take a threat to my life serious, and anyone ignorant enough to post it, would reap the consequences.

They're good for a laugh and a chuckle.

Not one bit!!

Nope

How is saying you had PREVIOUSLY AVOIDED something, and stating what WOULD have happened IF you had gone, considered a threat? Do criminals have time machines now?

They actually kind of make me laugh.
