    Oops, I completely misinterpreted your comment. Not sure what etiquette says, but I feel silly and am removing mine.

    I agree that this person saying “you guys are next” is not a threat to the degree that it should be chargeable, and that she’s being made an example of.

      Just want to point out that your example implies domestic violence is a lower level of violence, and as such this shouldn’t count as a real threat?

      Reading comprehension ain’t for everyone.

      Edit: on some reflection that might be a rude reply if you don’t already know that domestic violence threats in the US are largely ignored.

        Thanks for the reflection edit! I don’t think I’m stupid, but you’re right that I didn’t read your comment correctly. Do you want me to remove my original reply?

        Edit: decided to remove
