Rape Threat on Facebook

[Just Blue]

Sure, you can call the police ... just don't expect them to do anything. Even if this is somehow a crime in GA (maybe they have some statute covering online harassment or threats, I dunno), the odds of them seeking a search warrant for Facebook, ISPs, and maybe other entities in order to track this guy down is somewhere between zero and zilch. A stranger making a crude and crass comment on the internet is hardly the crime of the century. And if the police investigated every such incident, we'd have to shut down every other element of government to fund the investigative units necessary to conduct these investigations.

So, move on, stay off of forums and discussion groups where things get heated, and try not to engage yo-yos in debates.

Actually some Jerk...something like that to me on this site. And no. I did not call the police....Just assured the "man" that I would be waiting and prepared for the "visit". Little men with little...issues... do not concern me.

It's Friday night..."someone" will chastise many of us for saying the sky is blue.

Probably because the sky isn't blue. That because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

you have a right to call the police. You can go to the station and file a restraining order on this person. But it seems you do not even know who this person is or where they are from. Clearly he said something that upset you, he even went out of his way to apologize. Accept it and move on. I am sure at this ooint he moved on.

That's wrong. Individuals do not file their own restraining orders/orders of protection. Neither do the police.

These orders are issued by courts.
