Given the way that people are taking everything written and blowing it out of proportion to look for some kind of threat in everything - I am starting to understand why Hunter S. Thompson didn't want to live in this world. His outburst-laden style would have had him interrogated on a regular basis.
What is especially weird about this to me is that the simple fact that something was sent as a Tweet - seemed to be the thing that made the authorities take it seriously. If it was some guy making emotional statements in the back of a taxi cab - no one would care. If it was some guy yelling on a sidewalk in New York City - no one would care. If it was an email that was sent from one person to all of his friends - no one would care. But the fact that somehow in the daily tsunami of information that is millions of people tweeting - this guy stood out.
That is a little telling to me. One can infer that there is a mass-search taking place of ALL tweets on a daily basis - and that law enforcement is on the receiving end of that information somehow.
