Life-threatening spoilers

The next time you threaten to reveal a spoiler, think about how much you value your life.

A man from Montana has been arrested on suspicion of threatening to shoot a student for divulging a plot line from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Guardian reports.

Police say Arthur Roy got “angry” with a student he had befriended on Facebook after the boy gave up a subplot to the new film.

Usually after a few cross words and a bit of time to calm down would see the end of it – but no.

Roy came back online and posted a photo of himself brandishing a gun, and police say “the victim was afraid it was a legitimate threat”.
