Around here we often talk about avoiding random acts of violence, but I was wondering does anyone have any good advice on defense against potential targeted threats from parties unknown.
I don't want to say too much specific here, because other parties involved don't want this to be public knowledge and I feel I should respect their wishes. So let me leave things as in addition to the common random threats we all face, I may face a few other not so random threats for reasons that are beyond my control. My father who passed away a couple of years ago was a district judge in this small city for a number of years, and someone unknown that blamed him for something has started sending out vague threats to other fringe parties (surviving relatives) similar to myself. (you know the type things, I know where you live, watch out I am coming for you, etc.)
On one hand I know of lot of these threats tend to come from people that are not a real threat, but I also know sometimes they are, and these days it seems we are seeing more and more that fall into the later category. And even if this one turns out to be harmless there is always going to be that next guy that gets out of prison after 20-30 years and may want revenge.
