I thought the headline might be exaggerating with "menacing" but no, if anything that's actually an understatement:

> “Fuck Chan Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a label and motherfucking crew … And if you are down with Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a crew fuck you too … Die slow motherfuckers.”

Tweeting death threats at local government officials? That'd have you arrested here.

Saying "I wish you dead" is not a death threat. Saying "I will kill you" is.

The tweet, while obviously inappropriate, contains no threat whatsoever.

By the thinnest of threads. He knows exactly what he's doing, it's very Trump-eque. People in power don't make direct threats, because their following knows exactly what they mean. "who will rid me of this meddlesome priest" rhetoric.
