8. Any time you randomly threaten to hurt or kill someone

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.

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.

That's one story which people should NOT be drawing conclusions about, at this point. We don't know if there even was a bombing, much less who did it and why.
