My question was more specific. I copied the quote from the Economist, a reliable publication.

So, assuming the posting was as written, would it fall under the "clear and imminent" criteria apparently used in the US?

It would not if there wasn't proof that there was actual planning. That said, you would most likely be monitored by local and state law enforcement.

A similar case happened in Central Illinois a couple years ago, where threats were posted but arrests were not made until the threats moved to actual action.

In this case, the threats did move to action....

The person making the threat needs to be linked to the one taking the action (either via direct or indirect participation).
