Yes. Go to Twitter, and click on the accounts. Look at who their followers are, and who follows who, and the activity. See who "broke the story" first, and who then picked it up. Troll accounts are pretty common and very obvious on Twitter.

You can also search on "riot Obama". Oh, so many threats! LOL!

That said, threats against Obama, Romney, the Old Man in the Sea are also pretty common on social media. Just copy it to @secretservice and they take care of it
