But does it cover saying to your friend that if the show doesn't improve, you'll burn it down?

Remember that this was not a public announcement.

I'd question that: it was a public tweet visible to anyone, wasn't it?

It was clearly a joke and I don't think the guy should be arrested either, but Twitter is as close to a public announcement as you can get.
