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.
