    Edit:2 words, flow

    Well, I think that can apply as a general rule: don’t engage with people that show lethal or physical hostility to you in conversations.

    group that is most at risk

    This could apply to everyone, depending on location and nationality, but I understand.

    acts of abhorrent beliefs

    This could mean anything outside of our self-built echo chambers, but I do agree to be more cautious around those that show physical or hostile language towards you or others.

    These all go back to if they could escalate to:

    A criminal threat occurs when someone threatens to kill or physically harm someone else. In some states, this crime might be referred to as terroristic threats, threats of violence, malicious harassment, menacing, or another term.[1]
