It seem that alot of people misunderstood what this is all about, wich you now have made very clear; - Death threats.
It never was OK to threat anyone to their lives, or any other kind of threat for that matter. Be it an NG reg or the president of the US. However, it's more likley that somone actually is trying to assassinate the president, rather than some 14 years old being pissed of for being banned on the forum avenging the person who banned him/her. I'm sure most of you understand that.
Also do know that if somone would threat me for example, for them being banned (wich have happend, by the way:) it is my fully legal right to contact the police and report the event.
Now, I have never done that, because;
1. I live in Sweden, meaning a threat would only be taken seriously if it was of electronic kind, virus threat or whatever. I'm not exactly sure of what law it'd break, probably something that have to do with property or so.
2. I haven't taken the threat seriously, since it's obviously been from some kid (who live in the US btw) who simply is pissed of for being banned etc.
3. The very few times somone have been that pissed off with me IRL, have been after quite some alcolol, so nah, haven't taken any of that seriously either.
Now, these things I can decide and act on myself. With the president, it's entirley different. He have a whole freaking staff of people who ensure his safety, so yeah, theres nothing odd about them checking things out. They're just doing their job, and Wade is doing his, by warning us.
