(33,077 posts)Or go through with it, your mental state is definitely in question. Why isn't this guy called a thug? He was making terror threats to the speaker.

(16,184 posts)Not everyone who commits violence or threatens violence is mentally ill--that's why there are diminished capacity and insanity defenses for those that truly are.
And unless I'm missing something, there were no "terror threats." Threatening to kill someone is not a terroristic threat.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
