        You do realize that it’s possible to possess a weapon that isn’t registered to you, right?

        Why would you not take a person referencing a recent assassination and telling you that you are next seriously? I’d 100% call the cops if that happened to me when I was a call center agent.

          You’d only think it was a credible threat if your system was so fucked up the powder keg was lit

            Mass shootings are almost a daily occurrence in the US. Why wouldn’t you take the threat seriously?

            If this person had actually shot up a call center and the FBI was found to have said, “Eh, they probably didn’t mean it that way,” people would be equally as outraged.

              There’s a difference between investigating a possible threat, and attempting to prosecute. I suggest you learn it.

      The woman just means that the people she was talking to will be screwed over by insurance too.

      She was saying we’re all in this together, basically!
