Scammer Lance Allen (Lance.Allen423)

BTW I don't know about elsewhere but, in Ohio, it is a felony to commit a crime (such as making threats) through internet service providers and web based email service providers.
However, this is dependent upon whether, or not, a detective is willing to do the work and if the service providers are willing to press charges.

I think this goes a little farther than just bluffing behind a keyboard. Online is often where instability first shows itself, because it feels safer to the person exhibiting it. But with threats like this, you have to wonder if he will escalate and actually hurt a person. The things he said would make any stable person uncomfortable just reading them, and are definitely not normal things for a person to say. For the sake of anyone he will come in contact with in person, I would definitely file a report so this is on record. Scary!

I checked the membership roster which lists his full name as Lance Owens, so for search purposes I thought I'd provide the name here.
It also says his last visit to the site was today, so I'm thinking he is following the thread.

Dennis, if you could get the report filed today, I think that would be good.

Wow,this guy is way across the line!

Don't even want to guess what his problems are.

Have you ever seen someone dismembered knuckle by knuckle joint by join? It's quiet arousing

Anyone who can speak or type something like THAT ^^ needs to be taken seriously and dealt with accordingly.

Meh. Honestly Its not worth it to me to take it any further.
he is some punk kid that likes to pop off at the mouth and seem like he is something to be feared. I am a former officer and will be again here soon. I am in no way afraid of him.
If i truly took his threats serious i would do something.

It's not about being afraid of him, Dennis. I wouldn't be either. It's about teaching him that there are consequences for his actions, and also the potential for getting someone that's having some issues help.

^^ That.

Even if you think he's just some punk kid talking/typing tough, there are red flags here for serious mental illness/instability. You might not be at risk, but if he's more than just the mouthy punk you think he is, someone else (or their wife, or their kids, or their dog, etc etc etc... ) might be.

It takes a serious kind of sick to think that dismembering ANYTHING living is arousing.

I would think this falls under mandated reporting?

99% chance just a punk kid, 1% chance he's a socio- or psycho- or whatever-apath. Hate to find out he does something rash in the future with this 'warning sign'.

If he had said this to a therapist, it would fall under mandated reporting as he mentioned planning to purchase a weapon. That along with the rest of it would probably push you to report.
