Facebook Thugging... new era of cyber threats

Ever heard of a term Cyber Bullying. Normally its associated with children being threatened by criminals, paedophiles etc online in chat rooms etc.
However a case of intimidating a facebook user by displaying a gun pointed towards camera with menacing smile has lead to arrest of a lady for "Facebook Thugging".
As per the details available, the lady posted a pic of herself pointing gun towards the camera that was followed by a comment something to the effect that "That's what you will get if you come lookin for me".
Though she took off the pic later on admitting that she thought it was intimidating, police arrested her on the charges of threatening on facebook.
Therefore be careful what you post and how I is going to be visualised by others.
Don't be impulsive. Think before you act.
