    “I didn’t plot to kill you, I just plotted to kill your entire family. You have no business complaining.”

      So, you think he literally knows your name and plotted to kill your specific family? Are you really that deluded?

        Sorry. Maybe you’re just too comfortable as the member of a majority group, I don’t know. But for those who are targeted, they can understand that a threat to wipe out a group you are a member of is no different than a threat to kill you personally. You’re just engaging in sophistry.

          Of course it’s a threat, it’s just not a direct threat that you’re legally allowed to respond to with violence.
