Should this be reported?

I did send a report to FB about it. I'm still wondering if this should go to the secret service...

I was looking for a FB page about the inaugeration and I found this one. I left the name alone on this because it's a public page and this person had no qualms about saying what he did.

I did report it to FB. Do you think this should go further? I'm not sure how to go about it anyway. Maybe someone else does.

It never hurts to report, although I am sure that garbage was red-flagged immediately by the NSA. No tin-hat required.

They might know about already, but I read the whole post and it is making me nervous for Biden. That is the next to last person I want to be hurt! He is our last hope if some bad happens to Obama. I would alert.

But, if it is threatening towards PBO or Biden, then yes, I would agree that it needs to go further. Or, if you don't want to do that, at least message the FB page and ask if they have reported it yet.

Wishing is one thing; planning is another. I don't like these knuckle draggers, either, but even they have the right to free speech.

I didn't get that from his post.

"It still needs to be reported, better safe than sorry." I disagree. I'd much rather the people who are protecting our president spend their time on real threats, not just someone mouthing off on the internet.

The other posters said he is in the military.


"I'd much rather the people who are protecting our president spend their time on real threats, not just someone mouthing off on the internet"
How about we let the professionals decide which threats they investigate and which they don't?

If you read the thread, Secret Service has already been notified by quiet a few. So there.

but Ted "the diaper" Nugent has already set the bar on what is and isn't considered a threat nowadays. If they let that draft dodging coward go they will do nothing to this twit either. I wish it were different but I live in the real world.

interesting, if you hit 'about' on his FB page, it seems his family is reluctant to admit they are related...

hopefully, he gets a visit and they find some illegal guns or ROIDS

They are angry, mean, violent, hateful people who cannot be reasoned with. They hate. That's what they're all about. They're not thinking or reasoning people.
