Could I get in trouble with the FBI?

    I was using yahoo answers and there were a few annoying people with far-left political views saying really stupid things. They were so annoying that when they asked a question about what people think of liberals, I wrote "I want them all dead."

    One american on the website says that my answer is the kind of thing that indicates a potential mass-shooter like Jared Loughner. So he says that he has reported me to the FBI. Now I have worries about the police kicking my door down and arresting me!

    I have changed my answer to something different now, and I know the FBI probably don't have jurisdiction here but what if they report me to the police and the police come for me?

    The FBI have a lot more to worry about then a dude talking crap in a chat room.

    Take it from someone who knows a thing or two about policing - you have nothing to worry about this time around.

    As stated on-thread, the FBI have bigger fish to fry.

    Thread locked.
