The guy is an idiot but he has a right to be an idiot.
I find it a bit troubling that the police can cite someone because they feel “threatened” by a post on Facebook.
If you understand what “put wings on pigs” means, it takes on SERIOUS implications.
If that’s the perp’s actual photo, he looks like a snot nosed wannabe. But the individual who pulled off the Sandy Hook massacre of school children was also a snot nosed wannabe; as was the perp in the CO theater massacre.
It’s time we start taking these blatant threats seriously; BEFORE they’re actually carried out, and then we all stand around stunned muttering coulda, woulda, shoulda!

The problem is differentiating between a real threat and idle dumb chatter.
In my life time I've heard or said, "I'm gonna kill that dumsonabitch", no one meant it, but it was there.
Today's idle chatter is on social media and once posted, it never goes away.
"I gonna kill..." always looks worse in writing than when said between local associates.
Many people have never come to grips with the longevity of the posted word.
