It used to slightly tweak my nose when the weaponized outrage mob on the left complained of not feeling safe. Primarily because they'd say it in response to someone doing nothing but disagreeing with them or even simply saying something they didn't want to hear. Since neither of those remotely implies impending violence, I figured they're either lying or so paranoid that they need to be institutionalized and medicated.
Nowadays though, I count it as a happy thing. Turns out it's usually a combination of them lying and being extremely fragile little pussies. That sets me up to call them out on both counts and I genuinely enjoy doing so.

I am hard pressed to think of any concrete example of whatever it is you are posting about.

Not an F, because you've done a decent job of invoking not simply an emotional response, but a particular emotional response. Angus Young would be proud.

Not what you were looking for, kinda the opposite actually. I wonder why minorities don't feel safe when some prejudiced jerk gets in their face ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Bird brain is lost in the forest, keeps forgetting he can fly and get a look at the whole picture.

Yup, if you take a general, non-threatening statement like that and lose your cheese in panicky outrage, you're fucked in the head. And most of them aren't even anywhere near that. Most of them are people verbally opposing illegal immigration in general or something and everyone who's got three drops of hispanic blood in them declares they fear for their lives and something must be done to silence the evil ones.

Genocide is not just theoretical for the Mighty Buzzard. You might think he would be more woke, being Native American.

"You deserve to be shot" is a non-threatening statement?

Well, his entire point here is to troll people. However, after years of his posts none of what he has said in here seems out of line with his personal views. In this particular case he is probably mostly trolling, but it is clear he isn't overly troubled sweeping the threats under the rug.

Yes. Yes, it is. And you deserve to be shot for asserting otherwise. Now, do you remotely think for even a moment that I plan on putting the tiniest amount of effort into making that happen or do you think I'm just spouting off on the Internet?

It doesn't matter whether you like the Representative or not; "she deserves a bullet" could certainly be taken as a call for violence, and/or an attempt to cow her or make her afraid.
You want to criticize her policies? There's plenty there, tear it apart.
But if one's argument is just "I think that person is so disgusting she's not really a person, someone should just shoot her" that's a really bad argument.
I agree with you to a point, I think there have been plenty of outrageous cases of people just being outrageously outraged for the sake of being outraged... that particular example not so much though. That's exactly the kind of bullshit that's killing this country and I think it should not be tolerated regardless of which side it's coming from or who the target is.

No, it's nowhere near the line and it's been nowhere near the line since the first day this nation was founded. Hell, even the meaning of the words does not even imply a threat, just states what they deserve and we all know how often people get that in life. Shit like that is said hundreds of thousands of times a day about government officials without any of them dying or even being inconvenienced. And that's just around my house.
