Dennis was clearly deranged. He needed to at least be checked out. And also, it's one thing to say "I hate atheists". It's another thing to directly spam them, over and over. Where does the line between threats and freedom of speech lie? You should be free to have your own opinion - but others should be free to live their lives without feeling like something truly could happen to them at the hands of an angry individual. They all moaned and groaned that steps should have been taken with the VA tech shooter when signs were displayed - how do we know Mabus wouldn't have been the same way eventually?
To get to the original post though - I think it's absolutely ludicrous to limit access to social networks of any sort during an event. As much as it could have organized people who cause harm, they can also serve to organize those who are trying to help or protect others.
The real problem is apathy in the general populace, and a severe lack in critical thinking skills. Not the technology.
