(62,265 posts)There's such a wide difference between "I am going to do X" and "I wish someone would do X."
So there's literally nothing they can even do about it.
From what I understand they send out these peons to just ask questions and scope out peoples houses. Most people just write some stupid shit and regret it later, others tell them to sod off, the real crazies who have a cache of guns in their garage get arrested.

(62,265 posts)The SS comes to just see if you're crazy and have a house full of guns or whatever. If she actually made a really threatening comment she would've already been arrested.

(62,265 posts)I figure her right wing Facebook friends mass reported her or something and that raised signals.
Her statement, as quoted, was clearly and unambiguously protected free speech.

Also, if they thought there was a serious threat here, it would have been way, way more businesslike. They would have arrived loaded for bear.
As it is, I suspect they're just working through a low-priority threat list that's getting really tedious, because so many people are on it.
But they DO have to do it, and actually, they did it correctly. He pushed a little, he responded properly when she pushed back.
SS are pros. Misogynist buttholes, by and large, but pros.
amusedly,
