Would you report this to the authorities? If so, how do you make the report?

[Sanity Claws]

I was reading comments to the video entitled Rep. Kathy Castor Healthcare Protest and posted at YouTube.

Someone named phillipmontage posted this:

Time to start the killin. Blood in the streets. Usurping politicians die first! in the spirit of Thomas Jefferson, it's time to start pruning the tree of liberty.

I consider this dangerous talk. Would you report it? If so, who do you report to and how do you make the report?

1. Start with your local police

They will know to whom the matter should be referred.

[Brigid]

2. The FBI?

I know it may sound ridiculous, but this has got to stop.

[Joanne98]

3. Alert youtube.

[Sanity Claws]

5. How do you alert YouTube?

All I could find was something to alert them regarding inappropriate videos but not inappropriate comments in response to videos.

[FatDave]

13. Maybe this?

4. FBI would be a good place to start.

There should be a telephone number for a local office.

The offensive comment is here, about 1 hour ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGBi722T6iA

I'm searching the youtube pages for ways to contact and report these threats beyond just "Flagging as Inappropriate".

Will reply again if I find something.

thanks for the heads up. recommended.

:patriot:

[Sanity Claws]

9. I sent it to [e-mail]

I know they wanted false emails sent there but at least this email will be looked at fairly quickly and they probably have better access to the FBI or secret service than I do.

[NYC_SKP]

12. Great, thanks. I'm going to do the same. More than one can't hurt, right?

And with a short but pithy subject line!

:toast:

Maybe others will DU the same.

[ohheckyeah]

18. Just in case you need it.

[NYC_SKP]

19. Thank you, well done. I hope other DUers report this like I did, and include the pic.

:nuke:

[ohheckyeah]

21. You're welcome.

I'll report it when I get up. It's late and I'm punchy.

[Aslanspal]

8. I left a comment ...he could be a rouge but i don't know ..leave it to the professionals

and I think we should all call our congressman or woman to increase the Secret Service funding.

[Kievan Rus]

10. Absolutely. Contact your local FBI office.

Find the one closest to you on this list:

11. It sounds like a threat against elected officials--and probably

specifically against Obama. Call the FBI.

[RB TexLa]

14. No. Not my business. Nor is it my job or responsibility to do that for law enforcement.

[Hugabear]

15. Actually it IS our responsibility to report someone making violent threats like this

Let me guess, you're one of those people who, if you saw somebody being beaten or murdered in an alleyway, you wouldn't call 911, but would simply look the other way and say to yourself "its not my business".

[Gold Metal Flake]

17. You suck.

[SmileyRose]

16. Secret service - reporting urgent information

Time-sensitive or critical information should NOT be sent via email. Please contact your nearest field office by telephone if you need immediate assistance.

I don't know that I'd like the secret service to even be aware of who I am but there you have it.
