You can be arrested in the US if you were to post a legitimate threat
The bar for arrest is lower than that. You can be arrested for posting rap lyrics that somebody else interprets as a threat.

Do you have a specific case in mind? I would have thought it would require specifically the police to interpret it as a threat.

Spanish speaking people are definitely _not_ a minority down here in Miami hehe.
Minorities are usually defined in terms of power rather than sheer numbers.
* Wifredo "Willy" Gort - born in Cuba, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Gort
* Ken Russell - born in Coral Gables, FL, http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/a... . Does not appear to have a Cuban connection.
* Frank Carollo - born in Miami of Cuban-born parents, http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/a...
* Francis Suarez - born in Miami. His father Xavier Suarez, Miami’s first Cuban-born mayor in 1985, http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/a...
* Keon Hardemon - born in Miami, "scion of one of Liberty City’s most politically active families and the son of a Miami police officer", http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/a... . Does not appear to have a Cuban connection.
I think that helps demonstrate local majority political power.

Are you implying this was part of some cyber-phrenological attack to poison the "predator"? Or something? Pardon my ignorance, as my attempts to understand just what the hell cyber phrenology is all about is a bit stymied by the fact that this theory reads like a William Gibson novel...
The Butterfly War describes a theory of meta data warfare that forces a predator to change its behavior and target people it's been trained not to target. In this case, the connection between Silicon Valley and national security apparatuses are so hypervigilant, everyone in the anaylsis pipeline accepted the meta data that arrested this guy to be sufficient. The Butterfly War teaches you how to put anyone you want in…
In any case, it's an intriguing tactic.
This headline got a chuckle out of me, not gonna lie.
Because you don't see any situation where you are unnecessarily harassed and could face arrest or death from a poor interaction with the police.

Translation: don't have a dark sense of humor about things. It's not because I lack empathy, you dolt. Obviously everyone of us is far removed from that risk. It just reads like something that could have been an Onion article: ridiculous and exasperating. Enjoy being a stiff, and go fuck yourself.

I'm with you so far. What I'm wondering is if you're saying this Palestinian guy was "put into the pipeline" by someone performing such a metadata attack, since he seems at first glance to fit the profile of someone the security apparatus would target anyway. In any case, it's an intriguing tactic.
