Original Discussion[1]

San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

      The number of people being ruined is pretty different though.

      I get it, it’s a callous attitude, but I’m wondering if going for civility above anything else is really working out. I’d love to such situations to be settled with a reasonable discussion, but do they ever?

          Because a threat is not an attempt. Most likely they had absolutely no intention to carry through with it.

          It’s still bad but saying “I’m gonna kill you” is not the same as actually trying to kill you.
