We're the Only Ones 'Keep Your Shirt On' Enough

An FBI official told BuzzFeed News they received multiple reports about the post, but the attack happened before they were able to confirm the poster's identity and do something about it. [More]
Policy doesn't require immediately notifying local law enforcement in the interim with a conditional alert just in case?

Did you make it through the whole BuzzFeed article? I know with all the tips it's probably an unwieldy task to read everything.

I can't say why, but something about the tipster didn't set right with me. I don't know exactly what. He didn't seem genuine. At the bottom of the post, we learn he's a good little authoritarian.

“I used to think the First Amendment applied entirely to the internet," he said. "And now, I realize that the First Amendment is about the government putting you in a cage or killing you for what you say."

I have no idea what he's trying to say there. This next quote, however, is quite explicit.

"I think these websites should be more heavily regulated," he added. "There should be a real-time way for the government to get your information."
