nobody who makes public death threats is gonna do shit. why would you announce and make a public record of a crime you are about to commit? hashtag #bankrobbery? another joke of a corporate move, unless it's a lie to get sympathy. Way overblown reaction for somebody just angry and probably talking shit.
I mean, people live stream themselves committing crimes and shit quite often. Never underestimate the stupidity of our society.
feel like a beefed up law enforcement presence for a couple weeks enough to stop that if it's just one person dumb enough to stroll in the front door with a facetiming iPhone and a .45, this seems like an extreme reaction for something that was probably not even a literal death threat to begin with.
sorry tbh I'm sure this may have been a legit point but this was too long of a rant for me to fully read. can someone tldr this for me?
I dunno this feels like some truths were stretched, if you call the cops with a man standing outside your house with an assault rifle they would definitely dispatch someone in any state but maybe texas
People are indeed stupid. There's a reason the Mafia's #1 rule was "keep your fuckin' mouth shut." If you're going to commit a crime, don't talk about it just do it.
Discuss, yes, but only verbally. And even then obliquely. "Take him to that spot, you know the one, over by where Leon used to work." Stuff should never be written down because you're just asking for it to turn up as evidence somewhere.
