That poor animal looks scared and miserable. The body language from it, during what should be a pleasant walking experience, is downright heartbreaking. It does not want to walk with that man. He has to drag it like a potato sack along the ground.
I realize that this is tweet quote, but it is an example of how clause placement matters for clarity.
A man who works with leftist NGOs, threatened, in broad daylight in the streets of NYC, to have Nick Shirley ASSASSINATED.

Number 1 is clearer. Number 2 had me wondering why the man insisted that the assassination take place in broad daylight on the streets of NYC. Surely there would be a more discreet time and place to off someone?
For Aristotle, democracy is possible only within homogeneous ethnic groups, while despots have always reigned over highly fragmented societies.
A multi-ethnic society is thus necessarily anti-democratic chaotic, for it lacks philia, this profound, flesh-and-blood fraternity citizens. Tyrants and despots divide and rule, they want divided by ethnic rivalries. The indispensable condition for ensuring a people's sovereignty accordingly resides in its unity. Ethnic chaos prevents all philia from developing.
THAT POOR DOG, cant somebody help that dog, it clearly wanted to go with Nick Shirley!
Thinking we need to take that dog from that demon.

YEP, That dog had "save me" writ large.
Yeah. These commies are just itching for Civil War.
All I heard was "STOP EXPOSING US OR ELSE!"
I am thinking exactly the same thing. It's a good song title.
He knows he will have to get a real job soon.

Your first one gives the impression the man advocates assassination because he is threatened.
Dangling clauses and poor articulation abound in today's marketplace of rapid-fire writers.
Nick Shirley's tweet, especially by comparison, is much clearer: succinct and truthful.
Find him, arrest him. That was a threat, period.
