So, I just got back from Fast & Furious...

[Farbin Kaiber]

No, it's not enough to just threaten. You get off with a warning if you don't have a shank in your pocket.

[E30 Cabrio]

Yes it is against the law.

I know someone who did it to a former business partner and got 6 months in jail for it.

It most certainly is against the law to threaten to harm someone.

If you even threaten to "kick someone's ass" you can be arrested and convicted.

No, its not.

If you touch the person or have a WEAPON on you at the time of threatening, thats one thing.

Words don't mean enough or carry enough power in a threat.

a buddy of mine got into bar fight, got his ass kicked, called 911 and threatened to kill the guy if the cops didn't get back to the bar first. Took off in his car towards the bar, caught up with the guy. Cops didn't even give a shit and the guy WANTED to press charges about the threat.

[pawi30]

may depend on the state ... my gf's ex boyfirend broke into her house trapped us in the basement with a knife and threatened to kill me, broke my nose, and fractured my forehead (frontal lobe or something of that sort) and hes only getting 6months probation

Wow. That's pretty hardcore. So the guy assaulted you, broke you in pieces and only got 6 months probation? Damn, now I am in favor of guns...

I can guarantee you that if you threaten to stab someone and that person has witnesses and calls the cops and presses charges, you're going to jail.

Like I said, I personally know of someone who threatened an ex-business partner is a similar manner and was convicted and sent to county for 6 months.

Marin County? Isn't that where prisoners stage a peaceable protest if their espresso was made with beans roasted more than seven days ago?

[triry]

for the records

yes,.....it is a felony, but one thats hard to prosecute unless you can articulate a real and reasonable fear. that articulation lies heavily on the part of the reporting officer/agency to whom the complaint or call is submitted.
i can testify that i have , in the past . arrested, and followed through in the prosecution of "terrorist threats" as made pursuant to californias definitions......


california penal code, section 422

422. Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which
will result in death or great bodily injury to another person, with
the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in writing, or
by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a
threat, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out,
which, on its face and under the circumstances in which it is made,
is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to
convey to the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an
immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and thereby causes
that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own
safety or for his or her immediate family's safety, shall be punished
by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one year, or by
imprisonment in the state prison.
For the purposes of this section, "immediate family" means any
spouse, whether by marriage or not, parent, child, any person related
by consanguinity or affinity within the second degree, or any other
person who regularly resides in the household, or who, within the
prior six months, regularly resided in the household.
"Electronic communication device" includes, but is not limited to,
telephones, cellular telephones, computers, video recorders, fax
machines, or pagers. "Electronic communication" has the same meaning
as the term defined in Subsection 12 of Section 2510 of Title 18 of
the United States Code.

You don't seem to know very much about the law, specifically the difference between "assault" and "battery."

Threatening to harm someone is "assault" as long as a reasonable person would expect that this threat could be delivered. If I tell you "I have a knife in my pocket and I'm going to stab you right now" with the intention to scare you, that would constitute an assault...even if I don't actually have the means to make good on that threat. The fact that you think I do is enough.

If you touch the person or have a WEAPON on you at the time of threatening, thats one thing.

If you touch the person during the threat, then that's "battery." Whether or not you have a weapon on you is largely irrelevant. The only time it makes a difference is if you display a weapon in a threatening manner, which would be considered a "brandishing."

[retardotyler]

Until he stabs you the cops can't do anything really.

Hell I watched a 18 year old kid literally drag his 21 year old girlfriend across the parking lot, throw her on the ground, kick her in the side, and muffle her so she couldn't scream last week in my complex. I called the cops, they arrested the girl for drunk in public, the guy "didn't want to press charges" and the cops didn't care to hear anything from me or my girlfriend or THREE OTHER NEIGHBOORS that all called the cops cause they watched this guy laying into the poor girl.

Fuck cops. 10% of them are good guys, 90% of them are crap

she was probably being a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.. j/s

[fiercee30]

I may actually go see this for the comedic factor. I never go to movies in the theatre anymore because I will not participate and endorse the absolute bold faced rapage that occurs there, but I may make an exception here.
