I have had some one say I should be shot two diffrent times on yahoo answes and have read answers to other's questions that say things like certan races of people should be murdered. I don't really think it will happen and am not fearing for my life but it makes me wonder if law inforcement ever investigates these things. I know we have free speech and I'm all for it but is thereating to do illeigal things illigal? What about the peopel on the mental health sectiion say they are considdering suicide? Does any one investigate those types of things? How are people investigated online?
I'm not advocating it, I'm just wondering.

Just a suggestion. When you receive, or observe that type of speech, report it.

If law enforcement is on line, I suspect they are looking for pedophiles and molesters. Not folks on Yahoo answers making idle threats.

I would have thought that they would have suspended the persons account that made the threats. All I did was answer a question someone asked on how to become famous and I said to Off some one (Not that exact word.) and they deleted my account. I did not mean they should actually do it, But people do get a way with threats & harassment while others get reported for nothing.
