I am in California, and I made a phone call to somebody in Georgia and used a racial slur, said his name address, “you’re going to die.” I was contacted by the local police department where I made the call and they left a voicemail wanting to me to call back. I am wondering if the police will pursue this further or if they are trying to warn or scare me.
