GamerGate - Death threats

First off: Yeah, that obviously went no where.
Secondly: I doubt someone's dumb enough to warn of their own shooting and still show up.

It's a scare tactic, it's the idiot trying to get the target not to show up. They won't actually kill them but they don't want them there in the first place. Someone sent some guy on Youtube an email like this so he wouldn't show up to a conference saying he has the layouts of the building and have the perfect vantage point for when he kills him.

Long story short, people are dumd.
