When he died, the executor of his estate (a mutual friend) actually delivered a red shotgun shell with my name written on it with a Sharpie. He didn't own a shotgun, so the worst he would have been able to do would be to throw it at me.
In other words, not every "threat" is advocating death. Let's apply a little common sense rather than reporting every single instance of hyperbole.

I can tell you right now as a member of law enforcement (Canadian I must admit) who was assigned to a protective detail, these kind of threats happen all the time against political figures. Admin would be doing themselves no favors turning that info over to authorities, lest they bring the wrath of the FBI and NSA down on top of us all. They would act on that information, and quite possibly bring down the site scouring every post for political threats of any kind. If that post had clear intentions on it, and credible information, then yes it would be considered a threat. That was just someone being a clown, behind what they think is internet anonymity.
As much as it pains me to say this, Fris made the correct assessment.
I apologize for interjecting myself in this report thread, but I felt the information was relevant.

Yes, this person is not threatening anyone on NS, but holy shit, I feel like people here should not be threatening to assassinate public figures and I'm pretty sure that this sort of (actually very specific) threat has resulted in red text in the past.
edit: To be perfectly clear, this is a request for yet another look.
