My Brother is Getting Death Threats From Trained Killers!

This past veterans day my younger brother posted a status update on Facebook.

this is that update in its entirety:

We remember our own countries murderers but forget about all the innocent people killed in all these pointless f---ing wars. That's right! They are people just like you and I. I don't support the troops. I don't support the f---ing wars. I don't support the killing on either side of any war. So in turn: F--- THE TROOPS! F--- THE WARS! F---THE KILLING! AND F--- you IF YOU SUPPORT ANY OF THESE THINGS TOO!!!

i know, my brother is a very vocal and opinionated individual.

this,however, is where things start to get messy.

somehow the above quoted status update ended up on the facebook page Awesome S--T my drill sergeant said.

since then my brother has been recieving an obscene amount of death threats thorough FB!

these people are, as i understand, for the most part enlisted soldiers. my question is:

how is it legal for military men to threaten death on a civilian!?

obviously the status update was made to garner some semblance of attention but my brother was not expecting to recieve death threats from TRAINED KILLERS!

these people are even going so far as to attemt to ascertain my brothers whereabouts. a house we share with our mother another younger brother two sisters and as many as three children depending on my mothers babysitting status at the time.
needless to say, i'm a bit worried myself.

a man named Bobby Ciceroni has even said he is coming to florida, oh i guess i should have mentioned they found out we do , in fact, live in florida, and i quote

" Im gonna beat your scrawny little asses for your lack of respect. You want to believe something is one thing do put it on a social network for the world to see is my problem. And I did say ASSES!!!!!"

so ATS, whats your take on the situation?

Maybe he shouldnt be saying "f*ck the troops" on a public forum and expecting nothing to happen. he should man up and face the consequences of his actions. or atleast put out an apology. hopefully nothing happens to your brother and/or family but if something does happen its your brothers fault.

Poke a pitbull in the eye with a stick long enough and you are bound to get bit sooner or later.

Being a vocal person as you have stated, he should have half expected the results. The only thing different this time is the comments he is making were likly to offend "trained killers" as you have put it...

obviously, but he wasnt saying f--- the AMERICAN troops, he clearly said he dosent support the killing on either side.

so the consequnces of offending a member of our military is death? is that what your saying? these people are threatening to KILL him.

your brother is an idiot and maybe he should be put in his place.

im not saying he needs to have death threats. but stupid people get this false sense of security when they talk crap on the internet. maybe he needs the wake up call, this is the real world, you may have the freedom of speech, but maybe you shouldnt exercise it at every turn trying to piss people off.

Your brother should never have posted that on FB, of all places. You reap what you sow....

To all my Brothers and Sisters, who served/serve our Great Nation, reading this thread...THANK YOU!!!

like i said the post was obviously made to garner some attention but is it right for these people to threaten his life when all he did was state his opinion?

it seems like all these people know is KILL KILL KILL, and if someone dosent agree with exactly everything i do? hell, kill them too.

He called the American troops murderers. He was obviously determined to get some kind of response from his post. He got a response.

what he was saying is more than an opinion, its offensive. so saying what he did, to offend people, he should expect the attention.

I think he needs to apologize, its not like all the troops want to be there, or kill.
They are just doing that they are told. I can see how some solders may take offense to that.
