Dad threatened to "show up & kill somebody" if drag queens performed in his kid's school

19. There's a pic of him (looks like a mugshot) on the site with the article.

He looks SO scary, AND creepy. Like he's a creepy creeper who creeps AND a homicidal maniac rolled into one.

Mark my words: this dickbag is a ticking time bomb. He is fucking DANGEROUS, and there's very little the law can do about it until he does something a lot worse than spewing hateful threats. Right now, he's up for a year in jail, max, and I hope he does get that. But the reality is he'll be back out on the streets way too soon, just as dangerous if not more so.

I don't know what the answer is. Our laws are written on the basis of punishing people for actions they've actually done, not locking them up based on things they've said they want to do. There can be consequences for making threats, like the year in jail he could *possibly* get, but that doesn't address the very real danger to society that he and others like him pose (especially to those in the groups he's decided to direct his hate towards).

I don't like living in a society where people like him are allowed to walk around loose, but I'll be damned if I know what can be done about it, within the parameters of the U.S. Constitution.
