If somebody on a video call makes a death threat to me, you can bet your ass I am taking that recording to law enforcement even as someone who fears and distrusts cops. To equate that with people hiding behind screen names and no image of themselves online as they post “kill yourself” or whatever is so beyond disingenuous. There is no way I need to explain how these are different caliber threats.
You have clearly never been doxxed or on the receiving end of a credible death threat. You learn to take these things really fucking seriously.
Most people do not get the death threats on camera, and then have the person admit to the police they made the threat like the woman did.
The Alex Jones related threats were in fact anonymously made making it incredibly hard to verify and convict. Jones was also ordered to pay almost a billion dollars for making the original claims and spurring on the threats.
People get death threats for the most silly things these days, in all sorts of ways, and nobody is going to get fined. This is all BS.
Take the families who were harassed by Alex Jones for example, they got heaps of death threats and no one was fined for it.

You can take it seriously but I doubt law enforcement will

I thought some of those people got caught. Maybe I’m mixing that up with Jan 6ers though.
