That's not right. No one should suffer arson threats.

Edit: At least a few people who don't get the joke.

In fairness they weren't actually threatened with arson. The story notes that it was discussed online; discussing that a person should have their house burned is very different from an actual threat. Unless he has recieved targeted communication saying "we'll burn your house down dude" he hasn't been threatened.

What we have here is a schoolyard bully crying to the teachers as soon as anyone makes them sad.

This is some dangerous semantics. "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"

If one of the internet denizens happend to be the Mayor, maybe, but I doubt that.
