   Make threats a PRIORITY.
   Reuters' showed local cops & DAs DON'T make this a priority. It takes skill, time & money.

   Provide $$ & resources to law enforcement & prosecutors.

   DOJ's Election Threats Task Force was created to provide resources to prosecute threats.
   Use them on this!

   They've had success. BUT THEY DON'T PUBLICIZE THEM, so there's no awareness for deterrence to change behavior.

   #DeathThreats are NOT #1stAmendment protected speech! They are condemnable criminal acts.
