- SamReidHughes 12y agoNobody said it was OK. It's dubious to call it a threat.
- chris_wot 12y agoIt's not at all that dubious. Threatening to "shred her hymen" is, well, a threat. Curt didn't know this guy, and he's a father who just had someone tell them they want to rape his daughter. I'd consider that a threat too.
- SamReidHughes 12y agoAmid comments that imply she wants the(ir) D, that comment says she'll be slutting around with him, first.
- chris_wot 12y agoCompletely irrelevant. If you told me that my daughter was "slutting around", then I'd assume she was being forced. I'd be even more likely to consider you a rapist.
- SamReidHughes 12y agoWhat makes something a threat or not is not the conclusions the recipient of the message jumps to.
- chris_wot 12y agoWrong. You might want to look at ''Elonis v. United States'' [1]. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elonis_v._United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elonis_v._United_States
- SamReidHughes 12y agoNot wrong, because the case you linked does not conclude that what constitutes a threat (even in this legal sense) is what the recipient of the message believes.
- chris_wot 12y agoIt did conclude that it was a threat, and amongst the finer points of the case was that Elonis argued that the test should have been whether he intended the threats or not. The jury decided that a reasonable person would have perceived the accused comments were threatening. Even a reading of a cursory summary of this case would have told you this. Did you actually read the outcome?
- SamReidHughes 12y agoWhat. How does your reply have any logical connection to what I wrote?
- chris_wot 12y agoI just showed you a case where a threat constituted the conclusions the recipient jumped to. Do try to keep up.
