In America we do not allow a person to specifically threaten another person. For some reason we do allow, under 'freedom of speech', allow people to threaten ambiguously large numbers of people. These threats range from political (Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Anarchists), to racist (Muslims, Jews) and I believe those threats should be treated as a worse crime.
A threat against one person should not be considered more serious than a threat against many. This shooter in Washington D.C., the name of whom I will not glorify on my blog, had a forum through which he threatened to kill gentiles. This could have been prevented. It should have been prevented. Our legal system needs to stop protecting the threatening of life in any form. It is not free speech, it is a threat to our security. Our nation's security is our citizen's security because our people are the nation.
I call for action and I urge you to do so as well. As I said yesterday I am running for city council in my town, I urge you to run for office in your areas as well. We need American's in office who know what needs to change and how we can fix it. My stand on this is to urge the Bangor code to pass a law making death threats against not only a person but groups of people as well to be illegal and punishable.
Thank you for reading and I hope you will stand up and be heard as well.
