How is nothing done about this? Via @rexchapman on Xwitter

That's not actually a threat. He's dancing on a thin line, but he hasn't gotten onto the wrong side of it yet.

"I'm going to cut Joe Blow's head off" is a threat.

"SOMEONE should cut Joe Blow's head off" may be promoting violence, but it's not a threat.

@mcfate Law enforcement should still have a conversation with him.

@Nick_Searles

On what basis? This is like "Sure, the Fourth Amendment says they can't, but the cops should STILL search that guy because he LOOKS like a drug dealer."

What are they going to "converse" with him about? What if he tells them to go and kick some rocks?

@mcfate True. And I am sure he is being watched.
But if a regular human said this vs a billionaire, there would be a conversation.

@Nick_Searles

No, there wouldn't. This isn't a threat. There's nothing to converse about.

In fact, all he actually did was make the observation that no one's been shooting at Biden or Harris. He didn't lament that, much less call for anyone to do it, MUCH less propose to do it himself.

And only the THIRD thing merits a "conversation".

Look, "making people mad" isn't a criminal act, no matter WHO you make mad.
