How much i want him to live and forever be god emperor of the us

The statute criminalizing threats against the President and other federal officials can be found in Chapter 41 of the U.S. Code. This chapter covers several different types of threat-related offenses involving federal government officials, plus related offenses such as blackmail, extortion, and receiving kickbacks from public works employees. For the scope of this article, we will focus on threats against the President, the Vice President, and other government officials, including:

President-elect and Vice President-elect;
Any officer next in the order of succession to the President or Vice President;
Member of the immediate family of the President/Vice President or President-elect/Vice President-elect;
Any former President/Vice President or a member of the immediate family of a former President/Vice President;
A major candidate for the office of President or Vice President, or any of their immediate family members;
Anyone protected by the Secret Service; or
Any internationally protected person outside the United States who is a representative, officer, employee, or agent of the United States and a U.S. national.

For a violation of Chapter 41 to occur, a threat must be made to either kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon the President or other individuals protected by this statute.

@Achlys You, must not have a sense of smell. 😋

lol

According to the law, the threat must be made "knowingly and willfully" and must take the larger context of the statement into consideration. If such a threat is uttered as a political argument or made simply in jest, it typically won't rise to the level of "credible threat." Regardless, defendants may not defend against such charges by stating that the threat was accompanied by religious or political statements.

brandenburg v. ohio

Did I read that the largest solar farm in the US produces less electricity than is used by the NY subway system? And all the battery storage capacity in California could power the state for less than 20 minutes?

one of the most famous case law on that issue

that's not pertaining to the president

that's a whole different area

No it's not.

she said she was getting money together to go shoot Trump

It doesn't have to explicitly mention the president to be applicable.

to an investigator

im pretty sure that if you say "Im going to kill you" thats illegal

Yes, if they can prove she has taken concrete steps, they have a case.

If not, she still might have a way out.

well if someone scream it with a knife in their hands

im pretty sure everything is clear

No, it just needs to be direct call to action, which it was

I'm not sure.

Also she said that she was going to shoot him right?

It must be immediate.

yeah that's why it's fine to arrest someone who literally says "I'm going to shoot up my school tomorrow"

It's on the Internet.

Thats a concrete step

this is in reference to her talking to a secret service agent "“Henthorn claimed ownership of the posts and exclaimed, ‘time to kill the president’ (and) ‘I mean it, I will kill him,’ according to Lipscomb. “She went on to state that as soon as she got her money caught up, she would travel to D.C. to shoot him.”

So it's a little more removed than gathering a mob and firing them on.

yep im pretty sure thats illegal

is anyone here a lawyer tho?

I'm not sure.

I'm not

She's just going to plea out.

she was talking to a secret service agent and told them she was just collecting her money so she can go kill someone

Nobody wants to litigate this nonsense.

she already confessed @Undead Mockingbird

@Strufa I don't want to see anyone dead, but there are a few that I wish there butt would grow together. 😀

She can't afford a bus ticket, so she probably can't afford a lawyer.

you can get a public defender
