Mr. Not Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Have you ever dealt with death threats? Particularly from people you know personally... Minor or serious, whether you thought they'd follow through or not... How were you effected psychologically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Actually I have. Seriously - only once though.... luckily, I guess I was coaching youth football, and a 5th grade kid got mad they had to run. EVERYONE was running. He started walking, and was about 60 yards away, so I yelled to him to run with the team. He ran for a few seconds and then started walking again. Once again, I called out to him to start running and he gave me the finger, took off his helmet, threw it and then ran to his bike. He yelled that he was done with this bullshit and will be "back with a knife tomorrow". I didn't think much of the threat, but the league did and got the police involved against my request. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno - the funniest thing was how fast he ran to his bike... faster than he ran all day up to that point :) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I don't think I've ever had any death threats, but I've been told multiple times on the Internet that I'm annoying and whatnot. I just brush it off, I realize that it's true and I really don't need anyone to tell me what I already know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad those days are over.You are young and most likely just different (better) from the majority of your peers. Your taste in music it seems appears to be light years ahead of your age group.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) No one threatened to murder me, but a Polish guy at Youtube told me to kill myself.I knew he was Polish because it was part of his user name.Yes I know...they're not all like that. But he gives that community a bad name. Whatshername said Shake It Off. Whoever IS getting death threats...if you can track their IP and learn their identity, then you can press charges.It's a criminal offence. That's illegal in most western countries even if you don't meet or touch the person. Edited November 5, 2014 by Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Death Threats? pfft They're just pathetic writings from pathetic people Yeah... This is especially the case when they give out death threats to multiple people throughout their life, you can just tell it's a desperate mean by which they're trying to feel powerful by. It's disturbing and unsettling when it happens, but after an amount of time you feel better and things fall back into perspective...

The Analog Grownup Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Never been threatened or told to kill myself. But I have noticed how the tone on the Internet is getting more harsh. Take any random Youtube video and chances are someone is telling someone else to go f themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
