Yeah, umm… what did he think would happen when he threatened the life of a sitting president?

It's worth pointing out that the victim probably isn't in social circles where the government killing people for no reason all the time gets much attention. Hyperreality is a serious thing, the guy's worldview probably makes it seem like free speech exists, unless it's a bad slur on facebook dot commie.
a death sqaud in a banana republic ... psychic evaluation in a civilisation ?
I mean what was supposed to happen? Are we meant to be scared of the FBI? They can't even take down an overweight elderly man with a combover....
The guy openly posted that the FBI wouldn't dare raid him because they'd get a 45 ACP in the face. I'm no law enforcement apologist but that kind of boast can put people on edge. Specific threats of violence should never be acceptable.
I also prefer my threats of violence to be vague and unactionable.
I'll see you soon.
Not if I see you first.
My god you are such a troublesome priest..
I'm not a priest, buddy.
I'm not your buddy, pal
