darksabre Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I think they could charge him with terroristic threats, probably wouldn't stick. Usually you see a terroristic threats charge being brought when you have addition charges such as assault/battery etc. I'm not even sure that States charge for terrorism threats. I think that's usually a federal matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm not even sure that States charge for terrorism threats. I think that's usually a federal matter. Here you go counselor: Terroristic threats - 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. ? 2706 (a) Offense defined.--A person commits the crime of terroristic threats if the person communicates, either directly or indirectly, a threat to: (1) commit any crime of violence with intent to terrorize another; (2) cause evacuation of a building, place of assembly or facility of public transportation; or (3) otherwise cause serious public inconvenience, or cause terror or serious public inconvenience with reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience.

Boy is that vague. I wonder if they actually charge people with that? There's no way it should be able to stand up in court due to the notion of Void for Vagueness. Thanks for finding that though; quite interesting. They also have to be able to prove intent which is interesting. I looked up New York's terrorism laws and they don't even require intent, however New York only counts something as terrorism if the threat is against a population of people, not one individual. PA seems to count threats against individuals as potential terrorism. Throwing "intent" into the equation really helps the defendant out though because then the prosecution has to prove he had taken the necessary step towards commission of the act, as I stated before. New York throws that out the window. So I guess the lesson here is, don't make generalized death threats against more than one person in NY or else you have no defense.

SarasotaSabre Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Be careful what you wish for. Some day someone might consider preaching eternal damnation as a threat of physical violence and preachers will be sitting next to 17 year old internet posters in jail :rolleyes: ah, here we go with the anti-religion stuff again...if that does happen, do you think the rabid ACLU would ardently take up the case to protect the 1st Amendment protection for a manic steet preacher?........something tells me they wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole... <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?t=73...highlight=poles Ahhh the constant beating of a dead joke into the ground.
