Can you actually get arrested for threatening a mass shooting online in the US? isn't that a thought crime or some shit?

Threatening someones life has never been legal.

this, it's one of the few restrictions of free speech

what about groups of people? isnt there some kind of loophole?.i wanna say i heard weev talk about it a while ago

>I thought the first amendment existed to stop that kind of crap
First amendment doesn't cover direct physical threats.

No. Saying you wish or want something to happen is different than saying you will do it. The only thing i can think of.

If you say all pepes must die, you aren't really threatening anybody. Why not just not say stupid shit online?

Uh? Yes?

mass shoah in this thread, see you anons there in the gas chambers

Credible threat since Evo is going to be filled with nogs like every year

You will get raided by the FBI for this shit, equivalent to yelling fire in a theatre or bomb in an airport. This will happen for any random threat of mass violence like threatening a terrorist attack or attacking a public place. There is many cases of this, such as the league of legends kid (who was a teenager) who said something stupid after raging on a game. Also someone on Sup Forums recently (Sup Forums I believe) shared a story of how he got raised by the FBI after trolling as an ISIS member on some chat site. The 1st amendment precedent allows for all this. I don't agree nor disagree, I just think every should know so they don't get involved in something unnecessary and definitely life ruining because of a stupid joke.

what if im in bongistan?

Kys

Then you get put on a list that doesn't let you land here.

>actual threat
>"a thought crime"
Making a threat is not a thought it's an action you moron.

Or if they're really butthurt, they do a five eyes buddy party and crash your shit together.

weird

No, it's not

>can you actually get arrested for threatening a mass shooting online in the US?
Of course you can you fucking moron. It is not considered free speech because threatening to kill people in a realistic way is not an opinion, political, or racial, it is a threat.

>making threat
>thought crime
are you fucking retarded

In the US, I think a threat has to be what the call "specific and credible" in order to be illegal. "Gas the Jews" doesn't qualify, for example, because it's not specific, and I have no credible means of carrying it out. Yet.

If that's the source of all the hubbub, then this shit sounds like the lamest, manufactured overreaction to a twitch chat spammer. Unless the NSA backdoors the guy's facebook account to ISIS IRC ops, you would have to cast a ridiculous dragnet to police those kinds of dumb meme statements.

Can't wait for news of a suburban dad getting shot in the face after a police raid, and his middle school sun getting suspended from school right after for terroristic threats. Or just more nu-male journos trying to police "gamer culture" with their sanfrangay connections like they always do.

Just make the threat without saying you will do it. Ex "I hope all niggers die" or "Someone needs to kill the Jews.

Who remembers that one Sup Forums guy that got fucked for life for that football stadium threat in 2006? That pretty much taught me to never say stupid shit on this site, and thankfully it was when I just started lurking.

Got banned from twitter for life saying someone should punch Hogg. Life. Kek never been happier.

Freedom of speech's limitations are when your speech directly puts someone in harm's way (IE yelling fire in a crowded theater and causing a panic where someone gets trampled to death, is the classic example), or directly incites a specific act of violence or threatens a specific act of violence.

You can stand on a soap box and say I hate niggers and think they should all die all day. but you cross a line when you point at a black dude and say "Hey everyone KILL THAT NIGGER over there"

Similarly you cross a line when you threaten to kill people especially if you give specifics.

Freedom of speech exists to express ideas. Not make threats or instruct people to carry out violence.

all i said was
>welcome to the internet faggot
to some semi-famous nigger liberal

does the example in the OP cross that line?
would the FBI actually reprimand someone for saying that in twitch chat?

>ridiculous dragnet
This would sound stupid to people that actually prize efficiency but to the alphabets it means they get to employ some more careerists indefinitely. These things are LEO welfare as if they didn't get enough from the taxpayers.

Really need Trump to defang the LEOs but that starts within the Jew-dicial system, unfortunately.

>freeze peach
I can always create speech that is malicious, obnoxious, and drowns out actual speech without being illegal. No finite amount of rules could stop this. In other words, trolling.

>I'm gonna kill you faggot!
Not a crime. You have to have the ability to carry it out, and you must prove there is/was intent to carry it out. The burden in on the prosecution to prove those elements. Not on the defendant to prove he wasn't gonna do it. In Cali its called "terrorist threats." Its the same language throughout the land.

as long as you're not threatening specific acts of violence or your speech doesn't directly put someone in harm's way yup.

It's extremely borderline because he doesn't specifically say HE's going to do it, but it WILL warrant an investigation because it gives a location/date and method, which is specific enough that they would bring him in for questioning at least. Because while he may not be threatening, he could be warning about someone else doing it that he has knowledge of, so of course the FBI will want to know if that's the case.

In other words.. he could get a visit from the FBI and escorted away in handcuffs and brought in for questioning.. but they might not press charges, and a good lawyer will point out that he did not say HE was going to do any attack, so it's not specifically a threat.

and really if that comment did get reported to the authorities and they didn't act on it, that'd be sloppy as hell and not doing their jobs. Especially after Parkland.

What the fuck are you talking about, it's not a restriction, free speech and call to action are different things

Go buy a windowless panel van, spray paint "free candy" on the side, and see how long it takes driving through affluent neighborhoods before Johnny Law tells you for the rest of us.

no call it Sup Forums party van and paint it black and see how long you can drive it before the cops get called

Has to be a credible threat. You can talk about gassing 6 million all you want but a specific attack on a specific synagogue at a certain time would get you in heat.
