I am sorry, I imagine it would be possible in Germany. Even if I try, I don't see University of Illinois campus police doing it. I see them not taking her seriously (but why wouldn't they? it would be terrible for their jobs to have customers there getting stabbed).

But them being members of a fascist party and compiling lists, as hard as I try, I don't see happening.

Her name is in plain sight on Twitter. If she was afraid of reprisals why would she post it on Twitter with her full name?

Isn't something as simple as it being fake a more plausible explanation?

As a matter of fact, it is entirely possible. Just yesterday news broke that cops were in bed with a biker gang (http://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/ermittlungen-polizei-durch...). But it's very rare that such things happen.

It's not the cops, it's the fascists who compile and spread such lists.
