I believe it. Everyone gets death threats for everything these days. Social media is the bane of modern humanity.
I don’t think it’s anything new. People known to the public have always received death threats. The media only reports it when it fits their agenda.
Except if you actually read what are being called "death threats," you discover they are not.
Now I have no doubt that the family has actually received death threats, but one would think if an organization were going to report it as news they would actually include one instead of excerpting insults and beratings.
