RE: NOPAL4U Guidelines 1.0
I will neither upvote or downvote this comment yet I do find it necessary to respond. I am not familiar with International Law, but in the United States threatening life or limb is considered a terrorist threat. I quote Article 18 of the U.S. Code:
18 U.S.C. § 2332b(c)(1)(g) makes it a class C felony, punishable by 10 years imprisonment, for someone to willfully threaten to commit a crime that will result in death or great bodily harm; the threat is made with the specific intent that it be taken as a threat; the threat is so unequivocal, unconditional, and specific as to convey a gravity of purpose and immediate prospect of execution; the threat actually causes fear in the victim; and the fear is reasonable.
Sorry dude, in @themarkymark's and my Nation, it is the Law of The Land.
A threat of violence is not violence. It doesn't matter if it's against the law. Everything that is illegal isn't violence. My contention in this conversation is finite. I pointed out that no violence was prevented by muting. That was the limit of my claim.
Here's the relevant portion of my last response to @amico:
You do not respond to my claim. You have changed the subject. You're apparently claiming, if you're responding to what I actually said, that if something is illegal it is violence - or you're not responding to what I did say at all.
Do read what I said. Either respond, or state outright that you are going to change the subject, because that's what you did.
Please reconsider your comment.
