"it’s difficult to judge where to place the line between non-criminal eccentricity and imminent threat."
Fortunately, this guy commited over 150 crimes. Bail was denied. We can lock him up and throw away the key. It really doesn't matter if he were to be an imminent threat or not.

- Stevvo 2y agoThe terrorized neighbors who called the cops on him, and the accused himself evidenced by the 3 fingers he blew off in an explosion.
- devops99 2y agoDid Spafford threaten the neighbors directly? In a legal context, and also the real world sans a legal context, words do have meaning and words do matter. I don't see anything in the article that Spafford terrorized anyone. Whether Spafford intended to terrorize anyone in the future is another matter, and a matter of legitimate and serious concern. But we must not confuse this with "terrorized" (past tense) if we are going to discuss the matter in a sane and sober way.
