Yeah, her report about the police wanting her to quit her job seemed completely fabricated.

oh ok i didn't see the update, you're right

"In regards to previously reported information, Milo Yiannopoulos has had another conversation with the San Francisco Police Department, during which it was revealed that “the Sarkeesian case’ is indeed being dealt with by the FBI.

Yiannopoulos stated the following (via his Twitter feed):

“I’ve just another conversation with SFPD. They say they are aware that the Sarkeesian case is being dealt with by the FBI. They don’t have records of calls made in August, which may or may not be because the case was handed off to federal agencies. I’ll follow up with the FBI later, but, irrespective of the merits of her complaints, Anita Sarkeesian is indeed dealing with the FBI.“

You can see his initial tweet below:

ok i'll update the op

although its still fishy though that she was logged out and knew of the tweets 13 seconds after they were posted

what is your take on that?

never heard of her until now.

It does look a little fishy.

Something about Anita Sarkeesian? Must be the weekend...

Shes a professional PR person, who would have thought she knew how to bullshit.

it appears she is a lier.

I wish we could just ignore people like this. She made some decent points but who cares?!

Games aren't that sexist

This death threat rubbish from Twitter is nothing to do with games being sexist it is 100% to do with the gaming media given attention to the Quinnspiracy rubbish for a few weeks so Anita got upset people weren't giving her attention anymore.... "omg u guis death threats on me, look everyone, look at me oh noes someone on the internet said they want me to die I'm going to leave my house in fear of my PC".People need to stop giving her attention each time she requests it, at this stage anyone who gets wrapped up in her ongoings is just fueling the fire that she lives off... this post included, I'm off to shower!

Threats made over Twitter (a.k.a the Internet) are by nature federal crimes if the person making the threat is from another state or country. Relevant statute is 18 U.S. Code § 875 - Interstate communications.

( c ) Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

It is thus not surprising at all that the FBI rather than the SFPD would handle the case.

The "people" who "dug around" a little are /v/ and /pol/ of 4chan, and the corresponding crowd at Reddit. The characterizing trait of those people is that they dont worry whatsoever about being either prudent or diligent or fair. They just want to see sh*t go down, because wow that's entertaining.

Case closed.

ETA: In fact, on closer reading, a threat from the same state over Twitter is also a federal crime, since it's made "in insterstate [...] commerce". Any threat over Twitter is a federal crime.
