[HSA] Terrorist Threats arrest

Jerry, you're not giving the full story, are you? You're not even giving a quarter of the story.

Death threats against the dispatchers? That's a terroristic threat in the sense that has nothing to do with HSA. That's what they'd have called it long before 9/11. Calling in false calls endangers EMS workers. 500 phone calls ties up 911 operators. To get him to stop required quite a bit of work by the police. This wasn't Bart Simpson calling Moe's Tavern and asking for Amanda Huginkiss.

The kid's 16. He's old enough to know better. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. I'm not thrilled about kids being tried as an adult, but this kid would make a fine example to all the others out there thinking death threats to 911 is funny.

This had nothing to do with the Patriot Act.

And you, Jerry, either don't know what you are talking about, are deliberately misrepresenting the evidence for your own purpose, or both.

I'm beginning to suspect a pattern.

Great! Now I have to clean my keyboard AND my screen! I should know better than to drink coffee while reading RMR :-p

At least there aren't any "nose blown" breakfast chunks to clean up. Try getting donut remnants out of your sinuses!

:) I put my coffee down before reading the last post.

LOL!!

I suspect the criminal complaint will be the final answer. Whether they rely on the "old criminal" statutes or the "new HSA statutes".

We shall see but the hysteria is intense for terrorism around here in CA and the nearest terrorist act was NYC in 9-2001.

What I was exposed to was a TV news report so it was necessarily brief and incomplete.
