I would. At what point does it turn to Minority Report where we're arresting people because we THINK they might do something?
Words are words. That's all they are. And these aren't even SPOKEN words, they're words typed on a keyboard over the internet. The probability of them actually amounting to anything is nearly insignificant.
Now if I said something along the lines that I was going to go shoot some people and "here's my plan on how to do it" then yeah, I'd expect to be investigated. The key word there is INVESTIGATED... not arrested. Innocent until proven guilty.
Any 12 year old with their mommy's laptop can talk up a big game on the internet, and if we want to take these threats seriously, we're going to need a lot more funding for police, because there's gonna be an awful lot of sexual assault cases being filed for all the "I'm gonna fuck your mom" that goes around.
Its asinine. Its the fucking internet, people. Its not real life. People say all kinds of crazy shit, and 99.9999999999999% of the time, it amounts to absolutely nothing. Get over it.
As I stated before, and I'm not going to say it again after this -- I'm done with this post because its petty and just reeks of safe-space libtard -- just report the guy and move on with your life. You're never ever going to meet this person. He's never going to do anything to you. You'll never be within 500 feet of him. Let riot ban his toxic ass, and let that be the end of it. Suing? Legal action? Police? Are you fucking serious? Get outta here with that shit. The police have REAL problems to take care of in the REAL world. They don't need to be wasting their time and my tax dollars hunting down some KID who said something someone didn't like on the internet.
He's probably some 14 year old obese neckbeard in his mommy's basement munching on cheetos and drinking a 711 big gulp of mountain dew wondering why he doesn't have any friends and has never touched a woman. Who the fuck cares. He doesn't matter. He's a nobody.
Let him keep being insignificant, let Riot take care of the problem, and move on with your life.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go ahead and move on with mine.
