    Feds allege a 33-year-old guy in Massachusetts tweeted an offer to pay someone to "kill[] an ice agent" and are charging him with "Use of Interstate and Foreign Commerce to Transmit a Threat to Injure Another Person" in an indictment unsealed today. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4704876-USA-v-Ziobrowski-Indictment.html …pic.twitter.com/Rt5FasAazP

        Based on our shared experience here, I have to imagine that thousands of people violate this law every day on Twitter. (There are some days that I feel like I see dozens.) I wonder how often the law is enforced, and in what situations. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/875 …pic.twitter.com/C9hguTld9Z

        So the government is saying that tweets are evidence? That is to say, the government, under prolific tweeter Donald Trump, is saying tweets are evidence? Okie dokie artichokie.

        Yes it shouldn't be a political stance to be against anyone threatening to kill someone on social media. I'm for prosecuting all of them.

        I’m not sure what’s more disturbing. That the guy knowing meant this, and not as the usual sarcastic Twitter hyperbole or that they actually are after him for using the usual sarcastic Twitter hyperbole

        Threatening to have someone killed shouldn't be normalized as "Twitter hyperbole", regardless of political affiliation. It's far too normal these days and needs to stop.

        By the same standard, Trump should be charged with the same thing for threatening war via Twitter.
