Facebook and Twitter (and the mainstream news) have no problems posting violent protesters that want Trump dead.

I've seen at least 6 instances ofTrump supporters getting beaten up and attacked because of their beliefs.

So please stop making it seem like the people on the left are all about love and unity.

FTA: "But this one was especially graphic and specific and has required me to consult with law enforcement...To illustrate the gruesome hate that now regularly pours into my inbox, I posted the email on Facebook and made the image public."

Right: author contacted law enforcement about the death threat. Regardless of who threatens whom, such behavior is unacceptable.

Wrong: author felt entitled to signal their victimhood and rebroadcast offensive material, which presumably involves an ongoing law enforcement investigation(?) and got bent out of shape when Facebook didn't play along.

Stupid: Facebook fixed the problem and apologized; no word on what the response was from the law enforcement agency contacted by the author.

The genius ML algorithm that FB was using must have flagged on the colocation of "kill" and "fags".
