Is it OK to tweet "fire" in a theater?
Or tweeting "Michael Vick is eating out Donovan McNabb's anus with a power-sander" at FedEx field?
I'm all for common sense. But what I'm against are self-entitled pricks who think they are at the center of the universe and that the rest of us all are just puppets here for their amusement. Clearly there were people at least as inconvenienced as this retard, and yet none of them had to make public postings threatening to blow up the place.
And when does one take such a public message seriously and when do they not? The public risk is massive if we treat all bomb threats as mostly jokes. And all because this guy wanted to be smug and act as if he was the only person in the airport inconvenienced, and screw everyone else around him. Maybe the risk to public safety was exceptionally low, but clearly the public's safety didn't even register while this guy wallowed in his holier-than-thou self-pity.
That same mentality is behind every guy who runs into a building and kills 14 complete strangers with a shotgun because their wife left them. All those dead bodies are just pawns in his video game of a life.
The guy who twitches and says, "I'm going to kill my wife" would be hilarious entertainment if not for the fact that there are plenty of cases where people actually follow through on the threat. You apprehend the guy, and it's overreacting. But when the guy actually kills his wife, the finger-pointing and the head-smacking comes out like people were idiots to completely ignore the signs. The world is full of a lot of sick, crazy people.
Man, if I was next to this guy in the airport, I would bash his face in for being such a self-centered, ego-centric prick.
