    Kari, have you received any response from Twitter yet ? Is there a way to report this to the Police ?

    I have reported post's like this, not directed to me but, directed to killing Police Officers on Twitter and Facebook before.
    Also sent either a URL to the post or a screenshot to the local Police and the State Troopers.

    Granted I never heard a word back from anyone but, the post's I reported were removed in a short amount of time.

    I would have a talk with the local authorities to find out what you can do in this situation. Honestly, I doubt anything will happen but it's good to know what your options are.. better safe than sorry.

    I have no interest in doing a troll favor by reporting him to the authorities, I simply decided to report him to Twitter because I find words "Kill Kari" in his Twitter handle quite disturbing although as far as I am concerned he is welcome to come here and try :).

    The message I got from Twitter says this, though:

    If you feel you're in danger based on the Tweets you received, we strongly encourage you to follow up on the issue outside of Twitter. If you decide to contact law enforcement, you may want to include screenshots of the offending Tweets and this summary of the situation as part of your report. As per our Guidelines for Law Enforcement, if we are contacted by law enforcement directly, we can work with them and provide the necessary information for their investigation of your issue. If you do not feel comfortable contacting law enforcement, you should reach out to a trusted individual, such as a friend or family member, for help. Working with people close to you may help you assess the threat and determine next steps.

    Typical bullying tactics of stupid weaklings, had stuff like that happen multiple times and couldn't get them to try anything in person.

    If this idiot make's another threatening post towards you, I would not hesitate to get the Police involved.
    Twitter is willing to work with you which is going to be a big help. They will give the Police more info. about this person than they would ever give you.
    You're not doing the "Troll a favor" as you put it, you're protecting you own butt. There are too many wacko's out in the world to take a chance with not doing anything about this.

    He wants attention which I am not willing to give him.

    I'm sure Kari knows not to ever post his home address on the Internet. Especially not on Twitter.

    That said, there really is no possible way for this troll to be able to harm Kari, let alone find him. Ignoring him is probably Kari's best bet.
