Yes, but the legal system does not act on the whims of mass adoption. It’s like that mom in Florida who got slapped with terrorism charges for telling blue cross blue shield the deny, defend, depose line over the phone. The harsh crimes are there to chill anyone who might step out of line.

You’re omitting the part where she said, “You people are next.” That makes it a terroristic threat.

“You people are next” is a threat based on your own position of power. A politician saying that, yeah that’s a threat. Some random person saying it someone else, not so much.

If someone has a recording of an ex saying that to them over the phone, the best you’re getting is a restraining order, if you get anything at all.

Maybe if she said “I’m coming for you next”, then that would have more weight. But now we’re in hypothetical land, so who cares.

Obviously a random person is a threat, considering recent events.

Peasant brain mentality.

If she said, “I’m going to come kill you.” That would be a threat. Her saying, “actions like what you are doing have gotten people like you killed” or even “you deserve to be killed” are just observations, warnings at most, but not threats.

I feel like we, as a society, should agree on a set of rules and laws, that we adhere to in order to ensure acceptable conduct and behavior.

Almost like a contract of sorts, one that is socially acceptable…
