You're eating a bunch of down votes, but I'm extremely sympathetic to what you're saying. Up until the point that the guy has actually done something illegal, I'm not really sure what people would like done to him? I mean, if just having some people report you means that the FBI/Government is allowed to do whatever it wants to you, at that point, isn't that pretty fucking scary? People don't see how that could be abused to go after anyone with politics the left doesn't like?
Look - If they're getting a lot of reports on someone, sure - the FBI better do all due fucking diligence, and thoroughly look into everything they legally can. Once they've done that, though, they shouldn't be allowed to push it any further.
This is a really difficult societal level problem, and when it gets to this point, it really ends up falling more on family/friends. If people have kids that seem like they are going to be a fucking problem, they need to keep a super vigilant eye on them. What we don't need is for the government to be given even more un-regulated, discretionary, ability to go after private citizens however they see fit. You know goddamn well how (and who) the left is going to go after with that.
