      This is unconscionable and should be dealt with severely. Not to downplay it at all but calling it 8,000 death threats is misleading.

    Thats such an insane over reaction that its unbelievable, and yeah all 8000 were the same message sent by the same person from the same email address, still disturbing but while technically true the headline implies something entirely different from the actual story.
