I wish others would follow this young lady's lead. This is brilliant.
- Why do I get the feeling singing the Mexican national anthem in english at a football match in Queretaro, Mexico might be met with a similar response?
  
  The US had no official language up until very recently
  
  Kind of depends on the context.
  
  It's almost like the US has 14% fluent Spanish speakers to Mexico's 4% fluent English speakers 🤔
She should sing out their death threats to praise their model American behavior.
- Genuinely that'd be a crazy response. Compile the threats together, make them into a song, sing it in Spanish.
  
  And sing it to the tune of the US national anthem.
Were they in Spanish though? Or just a plain old boring kinda death threat?
- No se amigo. No se
- Believe it or not, 98% in Esperanto.
Patriot and terrorist sound very yte
Soft of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvcotaYpHrQ vibes
- Trump recently made death threats aimed at the Iranian government.
  
  I get what you're saying but that definition of yours is lacking at best
  
  Not necessarily. Not unless they're trying to force an ideology.
  If I threaten to kill you because I plainly don't like you, that's not really making me a terrorist.
  
  People typically have definitions like this in mind:
  the term "domestic terrorism" means activities that-
  involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
  appear to be intended-
  to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
  to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
  to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
  occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States
  Acts (1) dangerous to life (2) designed to coerce a population or a government. Otherwise, any threat inimical to life would qualify.
  
  I'm going to fucking kill Osama Bin Ladin. I'm going to build a time machine, go back in time, and strangle the motherfucker with my own two hands.
- Death threats are terrorism my guy
  
  Stop diluting the word "terrorism" of its meaning. A death threat can be terrorism, and in this case it may very well be terrorism, but often it is not terrorism.
  A gang member threatening to kill someone if they snitch isn't terrorist. A guy threatening to kill someone if they don't lay off his girl is not terrorist. Someone threatening to kill a person abusing their friend is not a terrorist.
  Death threats are not inherently terrorist.
  Edit: Are people misunderstanding something about what I'm saying here? I'm not condoning death threats in any way. Threatening someones life is categorically wrong and illegal. I'm just saying that something being wrong and illegal doesn't make it terrorist. Terrorism involves instilling fear to achieve ideological or political goals, death threats don't inherrently fulfill that criteria.
  
  Threats of the sort that induce life-fearing terror 🤔
- How is violence against the civilian population to enforce political ideology terrorism?
  
  Finally someone who gets to the actual meaning of the word. Sorry, but the other answers weren't good.
