email threat?

[manowar27]

What is the name of your state? IL

If you were to receive the following email, how would you view it? As a threat? Or as someones advice and/or opinion?

" Don't do anything stupid my friend. All hell could break loose"

Since there is no mention of bodily harm or physical injury, would this be regarded as a threat?

Is this another hypothetical question?

 

[manowar27]

Are you here to judge and criticize, or to answer questions that people have?

Both. Next question.

 

[manowar27]

If your here to do both, then its time to answer the original question**************..

I was just asking a simple question. If I was judging or criticizing I would of asked if that was the email you were going to send to that underage girl you met in the teenage chat room (mentioned in your other thread) to keep her from telling her parents about you? But I didn't, did I?

Apology accepted!

Isn't that comment slanderous? There never was an underage girl ANYWHERE. YOU said there was. I never had any communications with anyone other than adults.

Now, back to the question about the email threat**************...how would you view it?

In my state it would not be a crime.

Coupled with other actions or similar comments, such an e-mail COULD be a crime. If you are asking to see if you are safe in sending it, don't do it.

Nope

There never was an underage girl ANYWHERE

I hope not!
.

YOU said there was.

I just told you what I would have said if I was judging or criticizing.

I never had any communications with anyone other than adults.

How do you Know?

Now, back to the question about the email threat**************...how would you view it?

It all depends on the context the response is to. In my opinion it would be hard to prove it was a threat.

 

[manowar27]

There were no other actions or similar comments. It was a one time thing, occurring last December 2005. Obviously, it wasn't taken seriously or something would have happened by now right? I think I'm just guilty/paranoid over doing something stupid.
