timepiececlockThis has put me in quite a tailspin:

I don't blame the FBI for following up on reported threats-- that's what tax money is meant for. However, I think that whoever followed up on this threat could have simply examined her journal pretty thoroughly and come to the conclusion on his/her own that this was not a threatening case at all. As the post was public, they should have had no problem doing so. But mostly I think whatever asshat did the was a spiteful jerk, who was not worried over the fate of our President but rather wanting to hurt Annie. And that's unsettling and frightening and disappointing. Where's the fandom solidarity? All gone, it seems.

It's just that the dreadful people always get the publicity.
