Both could be and were perceived as threats. Any time mass shootings happen, people want to know if there were signs that people ignored and anyone found to have ignored signs are scrutinized. Therefore I think it our duty to take comments and actions like those above seriously.

Patch TOS prohibits me from writing my true opinion of the dirtbag in Medina. It's a lousy thing to say, putting it lightly. But, because there was no threat in the comment, It's his right to express his distorted and tasteless view. He has broken no law by being a lowlife. Jail and fines are not appropriate for lack of taste or intelligence.
