Hell, just looking back at that article about the New Jersey man that was arrested for the chatroom threat, you could have been charged on the same grounds for what you posted here not too long ago, Sternn. You know, the threat on Al's life. The FBI charged this man with, "
knowingly and intentionally transmitting in interstate commerce a communication containing a threat to injure."
Now that I'm looking up the laws, they include 18 U.S.C. 875:
"
Interstate Communications: Including Threats, Kidnapping, Ransom, Extortion"
Which covers: "
1. Transmits in interstate or foreign commerce
2. Any communication containing: a demand for ransom; threat to kidnap or injure a person;"
Gotta love that dual citizenship. Your actions on the net are covered under US law.
