So story time.
Back near the 2016 election, with the news covering Clinton Vs. Trump, a douchebag I worked with... a former(?) military guy... often talked about how he and a few military buddies of his had stockpiles of guns and ammo and he knew folks in the military yet. And would say something to the effect "if she wins, well sometimes things happen to planes" implying he or one of his military buddies was going to assassinate Clinton if she won. I told a military friend of mine who said, crap like that gets said all the time an nothing is ever done about it.
Fun fact, said douchebag got arrested by the police for soliciting what he thought was a minor. Eat shit Phil.
It's always the ones you most suspect.
Sometimes, it's the ones you medium suspect.
Every few years someone from my job gets arrested for something to do with kids and yeah I'm never really that surprised to hear about it.
Jesus, where do you work?
IT for a fairly large corporation. Seems to attract more weirdos than other fields I've worked in. Usually benign weirdos but sometimes not.
I was gonna guess priest but IT professionals would know how to solicit kids for nudes in a "private" chat
But few would do so.
