Hey, a reminder I give people every now and then: a friend of mine got blackout drunk and emailed Bush on the night of the 2000 election and said “I’m going to kill you and you’ll never find me.” Six hours later he was in cuffs and it cost him thousands in legal fees and he’s still on a list.

He is not and never was a leftist. Nor a violent man. Just a standard democrat with impulse control. Just watch what you’re saying.

Hey for real if you’re gonna get tiresome about a mistake my friend made almost a quarter century ago while blackout drunk, it’s very easy to block on here and I like doing it.

Anyway, I’m not gonna tell you how to live your life, but as for me, I don’t even like it when people know and like knock on my door unexpectedly, much less a couple of feds in suits.

Muting this. Not because of a ton of negative replies or anything. It’s just too many bumps.

I find the smartest thing to say in times like these is not a damn thing

Oh yeah, being real careful to never directly say if I think certain events would have been better if things had turned out differently. Always gotta post such things within a few layers of plausible deniabilty. Internet ain't private, especially not right now and ESPECIALLY not later

We should be talking about community security and defense

Yeah no matter who wins this election, people should be careful with what they say.

to be fair, that's an extremely direct threat and not just celebrating something most people find objectionable in a very tacky manner

I know. Just seeing some people making jokes that look incriminating and I need people to realize the secret service Does Not Fuck Around.

Waaaaay too many people around here do not understand this.

I think more than a few people think their responses can’t possibly be that hair trigger and it must be an urban legend, but I’ve seen this firsthand.

I tried to explain that to someone with violent fantasies about tfg a few weeks ago and they claimed the SS didn't pay any attention to what people post on social media. Despite copious evidence to the contrary :(

Honestly the people that flippantly threaten peoples’ lives online will probably tone it down after the men in suits knock on the door to their apartment and haul them off for a two hour long polite interview and ultimately that’s good for them I think

Tacky is one thing, joking about being part of some criminal act is just self destructive

Same thing happened to a kid I went to college with. Sent a 3am violent email to Pres. Clinton. Was in cuffs same day. Never came back to school.

people have 100% gotten secret service home visits based on social media posts

I'm simultaneously thinking "that's incredibly dumb" and also "that is somehow still not quite as dumb as half the tweets that ended up as evidence in January 6th cases". I feel like my brain should not have a ready supply of example of things even more stupid than threatening a president-elect?
