“Whether targeting a kid in a classroom or a boss in a boardroom, we won’t normalize violent threats meant to intimidate workers or strike fear in families. Threats to kill are not how we resolve differences in America, and it’s a federal crime,” said U.S. Attorney Michael F. Easley, Jr. “We’ll take swift action against anyone threatening an American anywhere in the world for what they believe, how they pray, or where they work. Period.”

How detached from America does someone have to be to think school shootings havent been normalized here?

That part at the end is bullshit too.

Like, I'd love to live in the America this judge thinks we all do, but we just don't.

Not only that, but like holy shit, you do NOTHING to protect kids in public school classrooms. So then why don't you just apply that same policy to the 1%?

Also, I bet if someone were praying to Islam or Satan, or believed in a society where billionaires don't exist you'd go out of your way to target them for some type of wrong doing.

Pro tip: If you intend to CEO someone, do not talk about it. To anyone.

Hypothetically that should go for any crime, but I should stfu myself before I give some bastard grounds for a conspiracy to obstruct justice charge

From a (theoretically) less biased source

Though Huffman and Advance Auto Parts are based in Wake County, Huffman faces an interstate charge because Salesforce, the company that maintains customer messages for Advance Auto Parts, only has data centers in Arizona and Virginia, not North Carolina, the complaint states.

There's no good reason why local authorities couldn't handle this but the feds went out of their way to take this case and send out a press release about it because they really want the plebs to know they will come down on you like the wrath of a god if you even think about upsetting their favored people

No, only if you talk about it beforehand.

And that's why jury nullification, and a right to trial by jury exists
