    That’s sort of my thought. Like should we prosecute someone for a thought.

    If they had raised an army, or knocked over a national guard armory.

    But ramblings from, I assume, drunks probably aren’t national security level threats.

    Not to say that family and friends shouldn’t be concerned. It is concerning, but more in a those aren’t healthy thoughts way.

    I dunno

      Yeah, it’s seems like mental health intervention might be more appropriate than law enforcement, but this is an authoritarian government, and when you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

      Agreed it appears sounds like they didn’t have all their ducks in a row. But the difference between fanfic and a plan is taking action.

      If you write guro, that’s on you. If you discuss a plan over text and go buy the tools, that’s a crime.
