A 13-year-old girl saying she wished OBL had killed her math teacher is hardly a "death threat." It's an idiotic comment, but not one that is reasonably likely to put anyone in genuine fear of his safety.Scooter wrote:Threatening someone with death is protected speech? The brat is lucky the teacher didn't file a criminal complaint.
In fact, it very much matters. Context is everything. Ted Nugent went on stage waving guns around and saying Obama could "suck on my machine gun," among some other choice comments to his fans. Do you think that is actionable as well?Scooter wrote:Who the fuck cares where a death threat against a teacher was issued. It's still a death threat.
I think that may be just a little extreme. However, I think the better course would be to have the student meet with the teacher and apologize in person, and then address whatever classroom issues may have prompted the post in the first place.Scooter wrote:If she wants the vicious cunt she raised to have a private tutor she should pay for it. The teacher should demand the little bitch be housed in a cage while in his class in the meantime.
