The number of people trying to defend what is, at best, extremely childish behavior is fascinating to me. Would you really go up to your city counselor in real life and tell them you wish death on them and their family, and pretend it's OK because it's an obscure reference to 90s rap (mind you the rap song WAS an actual death threat)? Do you think you'd be met with laughter? Do you actually consider that socially acceptable behavior?

If you dislike their politics, so be it - donate to campaigns or personally run against them. Write a letter explaining how you'd like them to vote.. But the amount of absolute crass behavior people allow "because it's the internet" is mind boggling.

I’ve received death threats from representatives of local non profits for advocating to build more houses in San Francisco. It’s not that surprising when people observe that the outrage over this incident is arguably insincere, even if the original tweet was inappropriate.

This is the main reason I'm not currently registered to vote. The f-ers at the voting offices leaked my address without my permission, and then I de-registered and moved.

I don't currently have anything worthy of a death threat but if I ever do in the future, I'd prefer the public not know where I sleep.

Also, f all forms of KYC. Half of those companies end up getting hacked or leaking data at some point in the future.
