The questions today and in the weeks to come are not easy. We don't want an invasive government watching every stupid thing we post online and making decisions about our motives or violent capabilities.
According to police Rankin made a post Monday night on his Instagram account that included a picture of an AR-15 assault rifle and the comment “I’m thinking about finally going back to school”. Upon seeing the post, people who know Rankin became concerned and notified the Texarkana Texas Police Department.
What's the problem, where's the issue of future crimes, why the outrage over people worrying the safety of others?

Should we go through ATS and find all of the veiled threats for certain political members? The scalise shooting wasn't that long ago.
Depends, did any of them post pictures of the weapons they were going to use to do it?
Shouting fire in a theater is punishable by law as well, do you believe it shouldn't be?
Why exactly does a photo take precedence over description of a weapon?
Also, the rifle in the photo wasn't found on the premises per the article.
