The fuck they going to do, lock people up for saying we wish someone was dead? Only thing they have the resources or time for are people making threats or talking about plans.
And we have all lived through enough shooters who were a "known quantity" to the FBI, but somehow they just couldn't stop them...
Exactly. And it's not hard to parse out who gets a visit and a file that's regularly looked at. You kinda have two categories - someone who's whipped up into a fervor and is telegraphing their intent. Second, the person who has an idea of what the fuck they're doing and knows to keep their mouth shut, but might have a paper trail of different purchases. That second part of guy no 2 will have a file that will grow much more slowly, because it takes more time to assemble the constellation of evidence.
