I'm sorry. Since when did threats against each other's family become accepted here? Perhaps I missed that memo...

I checked that individual's profile and there's been no hides in the past 90 days. Been a DU member for quite a while.

It was perhaps intended as the sort of threat that would be made against anyone who stood up to Trump. I don't believe it was directed at you, PeaceWave, but easily misunderstood.

If I were you. The poster is talking about threats made to the victim's families.

In context, it appears that the author is making an inartful attempt to suggest that the reason that more people aren’t coming forward to reveal truths about Epstein is because they will have their livelihoods and families threatened.

I’m going to lock this to save you the possibility that your OP it will be removed by Jury, and because this OP is inappropriate for this forum. In future please do not start threads to call out posts you don’t like, and do not post out-of-context screenshots of people’s posts if you do not get the Jury result you were looking for.

This was clearly meant as a reference to mob-like threats by people involved in the Epstein matter, not as a threat being made by the OP!
