Sorry, I was ambiguous in my comment. I meant that Barrett's threats were not credible -- they were said in a (somewhat childish and very stupid) fit of anger and fear. I agree with you 100%.

Actually, if I recall correctly, he explicitly said that he was not making bodily threats, merely that he would do what he could to destroy the reputation of the agent that he had an issue with.

The video speaks for itself. Unless it doesn't (my memory is far from perfect）

He did later explicitly state that they weren't bodily threats. Though really, I'm sure it's the "I'm going to look into his kids" bit that's the real motivation for the charge.
