Hopefully we can get back on discussion point now... I mean hardly anyone has discussed the original thread, if the post from the police is true, what does this mean? They have found no evidence...? or was the email from the police a fraud/lie....

Well it seems that folks have found out that she never contacted police for these matters and thus likely wasn't run out of her house as was originally told by her. I don't know about fabrication but she certainly embellished the seriousness of the threats.

 

“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.“

 

This is the only thing in the thread I can find that says anything close - and it says she is dealing with the FBI.

 

So.... how do you go from 'working with the FBI' to 'embellished the seriousness' - let me be frank - dealing with the FBI is about 8 points up (on a scale from 1 to 10) on the serious meter (and that goes from 1 (someone stole my lunch money) to 10 (Welcome to your new Federal Jail Cell)).

 

Some guy did a video interview (3 days ago)with the PD rep and they have no record of her making any attempt at contacting them, thats all I know. The rep(who researched into it) said there is no record whatsoever. The FBI works in strange ways though. I dont know where your quote comes in or who it is from. If she is indeed working with the FBI I wonder what in the world was done to bring the situation to that level. As it stands the official word is she never contacted anyone(though I dont imagine getting info out of the FBI comes easy. Chances are if the FBI were in on it they would tell both the local PD as well as Anita to not talk about the issue publically(with something this serious).
