saw that, but I agree with another FReeper. It should read “you DON’T raise them we cage them”

More likely he grows up to be an impulsive heedless young man who never imagines the consequences of his actions, and shoots someone dead over a trivial slight.

He has no sense of reality or responsibility about a death-dealing instrument, and either no ability to read people, or no common sense about the appropriate reaction.

If they published his name, we could make a ten year bet on him.

I’m not saying he should be sent to jail - he should be released to his parents, taken behind the woodshed, made to dig ditches or chop wood, lose his electronics for half a year and apologize to the woman he threatened. If his parents respond properly, he might just grow up decent.

Don't joke about hi-jacking in airports.

Don't joke about stealing candy on Halloween.

LOL

You only have the word of the "victim" that it was a joke. Criminals and muggers often resort to the "I wasn't REALLY going to rob them" defense after someone defends him or herself against their threats/attacks.
