This is what seriousness law enforcement feels is appropriate in this day of prejudicial entitlement gone amok:

Anyone — regardless of political affiliation — who puts others in fear for their lives will be prosecuted by this office,’’ Lelling said in a statement. “In a time of increasing political polarization, and amid the increasing incidence of mass shootings, members of the public must police their own political rhetoric. Or we will.”

The head of the Boston FBI office, Special Agent in Charge Harold H. Shaw, said Chain’s alleged actions should not be dismissed as a harmless prank.

“Everyone has a right to express their opinion, but threatening to kill people, takes it over the line and will not be tolerated,” he said in a statement, adding that the arrest of Chain should be considered a warning.

“Making threats is not a prank, it’s a federal crime. All threats are taken seriously, as we never know if the subject behind the threat intends to follow through with their actions,’’ he said. “Whether potentially [a] hoax or not, each and every threat will be aggressively run to ground.”
