You said:

FBI got involved. I stayed until the investigation was completed and people arrested (sitting in jail now)

Two different things. If the FBI got the idiots then you can stay where you are. If the FBI refused to get involved, couldn't do anything or wouldn't do anything and the threats continued or escalated YOU WOULD MOVE.

This is what most people do since time is short and they'd rather not live behind a barricade with the stress of constant fear. They'd rather find a place more accommodating.

It's not as satisfying perhaps as to live in an armed camp but it is more efficient.

Hi kumar rangan; Re: "No I would not. In 2002 I had threats soon after 9/11... FBI got involved. I stayed until the investigation was completed and people arrested (sitting in jail now)."

Good for you. Uh, I at least hope that I'd have moved. Just remember not to buy too many cell phones.

And how is the cell phone case going??? Yet more people discovered buying cell phones in volume. And does the police care?
