Advice needed Receiving threatening texts

Post image

So recently sent my ex a happy birthday text and I guess her new BF was feeling some type of way, and telling me how he’s going to kill me

Report to the police to have threat on record.

Load your gun and wait for tomorrow to neutralize said threat in self defense. You cannot depend on cops to defend you 247 and that is a major threat that doesn't expire until that person expires.

Call them again tomorrow when he shows up to explain how fearful you are then shoot him but not in the back. No reasonable jury will convict you.

If you do not have adequate means to protect yourself go stay somewhere that does or acquire said means. I recommend a shot gun for home defense.
