True that, unfortunately.

Garland makes perfectly clear he's not going to tolerate threats against members of the judiciary:

Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Justice Department ‘will not tolerate’ violence or threats of violence against members of the Supreme Court after an armed California man was arrested near the justice's home https://t.co/22gHx08S5M pic.twitter.com/AwE1huPiyk

at same time means it's up to localities to do the same or not as regards threats against like, a school?

if that's not ridiculed and denounced by those who are sympathetic with the political beliefs involved, they are just fueling the problem, because the main impetus is to become a hero to a group, doesn't really matter which one

also there is nothing new about the copycat syndrome, nothing; for decades law enforcement has been screaming as loud as they can about how important it is not to give media attention to the perpetrators of mass violence and/or terrorism and to focus on the victims instead. they know it will happen sure as shootin, pun intended. right now policing authorities have massive support to arrest those who admire and covet the attention perps are getting; that's not always been the case, not the least of which because the majority don't act on their desires

In reply to I doubt that very much. zero

A reminder that a lefty twenty-something just decided to travel to Brett Kavanaugh's house and do something about him. hHe didn't actually *do* anything, he had the equipment and he was pre-empted. And there in a nutshell is the problem with anti-terror policing, to be successfu you have to stop them before they do something. And hate speech and dreaming about slaying enemies is legal in this country.

(You will never convince me that the inexhaustible supply of young men willing to become a "hero" by plotting violence against enemies, real or imagined has changed. All that has changed is there is internet now where others can influence them and manipulate their stupid passions and delusions rather than drafting them as cannon fodder. Do you think Lee Harvey Oswald was an outlier? He just didn't have the internet to communicate)

In reply to Praise for Uvalde shooter and call for copycats is growing online, Homeland Security warns

I've been following the particulars on this and it's very clear to me that the difference between now and before is not that there are more copycats, but that THEY ARE BEING ARRESTED and you are therefore hearing about it. Just like grownups who have long been arrested for making violent threats against national leaders and at airports, teens aand twentysomethings, nutso adults and even kids are being arrested for making violent threats about mass shootings, allover the country, like it or not. Here's a few examples

A kid took a gun to my son’s high school last fall. They arrested him during second hour. He was going to start shooting during third hour. My son said his class was on the other side of the building but one of his friends sat behind the kid in third period.
