Did i go report them no has a single threat actually been carried out nope not a one because the internet is a place where people vent and say things they never would face to face. Despite the reality a lot of people still think they can say what they like on the internet as it's anonymous and does no physical harm it makes them stupid not serious and certainly not worth the attention of the police.

Sorry but the idea that someone who gets hassled on the internet gets police time when people whose house has been broken into and ransacked and real physical and mental damage done gets a crime number is a joke. There are too many thin skinned precious people getting overly worked up by words on a screen and equally as many who think all aspects with any possible risk should have some protection afforded to it how did we manage to live before all this.
There's more to it than that. I believe some people/groups are trying to engineer a situation in which they can effectively stifle opinions they don't like in the name of hate crimes. It's the same sort of warped 'mentality' demonstrated by the rent a mob thugs whose chosen method by which to demonstrate about brutality and violence is to attack the police, smash things up, set fire to buildings, intimidate staff etc.
