If you put it in the above context there is a real potential it could be a genuine threat. And don’t tell me because it’s girls it couldn’t be. Please.

Sorry, putting LOL behind threats to kill someone they personally know and are around all the time, and COULD potentially kill rather easily, does not make it a free speech issue. It makes it a potentially credible threat with a LOL behind it. If you put it in the above context there is a real potential it could be a genuine threat. And don’t tell me because it’s girls it couldn’t be. Please.

Of course, there is taking a look at the whole picture and adding some common sense. It should not have been difficult to discern the difference between 12-14 year olds bantering and a real threat.
