The Airport guy had his conviction quashed by the way.
Yeah but would it have been quashed without the somewhat large media campaign? (I mean new media, not old)

Anything targeted is massively different to a random comment, if you don't understand that then well

Threatening so shoot up a nursary is specific enough to raise eyebrows without the need to point out which.
.
No it is not specific at all. There's no content, no direct threat noting.
Tweeting an actual airport that you are disgruntled with, has a direct link and is massively different.
As is posting on an actual Facebook group about the subject.
Face booking it n her own feed is one thing, face booking on the specific group is very different.
Hhow can you not see te difference that targeting has. It's also what are law is based partly based around.
And LoL again, just making up crap. Where have I said what I think? It is a very different circumstance, but am glad it was quashed. But it is not the same at all.
I see the difference I'm just not anal retentive enough to think it actually matters. Either it's a joke or it isn't.
.
What are you 5?
And yes if I thought you were sincere, that would be a crime, regardless of what you actually meant.
I guarantee you at least one person will laugh at that. Alas I'm not going to continue a 1on1 conversation with you, so toodles, but just in case you're confused it was obviously a joke and thus proving it's the context that matters not the target.
Josh Pillault was arrested last October for threatening to kill people and destroy buildings. At the time of his arrest, he was 19-years-old, and an avid video game player.
The threats were made while he was playing “Runescape,” an online multiplayer fantasy game. Another player began antagonizing him, and eventually told him to kill himself.
Irritated, Pillault said he would kill not just himself, but also take out the local high school. He also mentioned Columbine — the name of an infamous school shooting — according to reports.
It was the response that the other player had been hoping for, according to Pillault’s mother.
“His gleeful last words to Josh were ‘Knock, knock!’ which is a reference to the feds he sent our way,” wrote Stacey Pillault in an email to TheDC News Foundation.
Federal authorities raided the Pillault home a few days later, arresting Josh. He has been in jail ever since.
His lawyer argued that the threat was “idle or careless talk, exaggeration or something said in a joking manner.”
Josh possessed none of the materials he would need to carry out such an attack, nor was there any good reason to believe he was serious, said his mother.
“His doctors have said he wouldn’t hurt himself or anyone else,” she wrote. “We actually have teachers who were willing to testify that they knew it wasn’t a true threat as soon as they found out it was Josh. Even his fellow inmates and guards have commented on how they can’t believe he is still in there.”
Josh turned 20 in December — behind bars. As of next week, his incarceration will have lasted 9 months.
“Instead of being home with his family, he spent his birthday and the holidays behind bars,” wrote his mother. “We all worry about him constantly. I barely sleep anymore because I am worried about him.”
Josh was adamant about maintaining his innocence, but the family eventually decided that the odds of a conviction were simply too high. On June 20, Josh plead guilty, hoping for a lighter sentence. He is now awaiting transfer to a federal prison, where medical experts will evaluate his mental condition. Sentencing should take place a few months from now. Josh could get 10 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000.

It is stupid, but he wasn't merely being sarcastic.
