Bricker, I said myself that I wasn’t sure. I also interpreted your question as an actual question (to which I said I didn’t know the answer), not a correction because of how you phrased it. Your other post was a little more snooty.

The only time joking is considered a crime is specifically at security checkpoints at the airports. Wilt Chamberlain was detained for a period of time years ago for joking about a bomb on a team flight. Now, I recall having seen specific signs banning even joking (or mentioning) anything about bombs, etc.

How about discussing, “Hey, how possible is it to bypass the President’s defense…”
Just discussion. Mere speculation. Or maybe a group of screenwriters sitting down to plan the assasination of a fictional President, or in alternate timeline. Is that illegal?
Groucho Mark once remarked (around the time of Watergate) something to the effect that the only hope this country had was Nixon’s assassination.
This was sufficient to get the Secret Service’s attention.

I think a great present for the president would be a chocolate revolver. Only he’s real busy, so you’d have to run up really fast and give it to him. - Jack Handey
Recent classifications show that the FBI was keeping tabs on Groucho for a long time.
There was an article in the NY Times written about something like this:
Yanno. This is G.Q. I would love to simply pick up the telephone, call my local F.B.I. Field Office ( they’re less than 20 miles away and I know where the building is. It’s next to a Friendly’s Restaurant- a fact I find faintly hilarious ) and just ask. Pointedly.
" Can you point me towards the person who can quote me the US Criminal Code that specifically addresses this legal issue, please? ".
Except that, I’d not see the inside of my home for many, many weeks if not months. That’s the world we live in, folks. Any ballsy attorney’s wish to take a swipe at it?
Every single F.B.I. office in the United States is listed in local telephone books, whichever one services your area can be called.
I’m just afraid to drop a dime and ask. Why? Because I can easily see where asking is tantamount to stating intent.
Bricker, you’ve mentioned living in Virginia. Quantico is in your state. Care to call and enlighten us all?

hmm well i really doubt that you would be arrested unless someone did take you seriously but ur know how many nutters are out there so its most likey possible that you would get some kind of hassle for it in one way or another :smack:
[slight hijack] Is assassination an actual charge in the U.S.? If it is, how do they determine if the death was assassination or premeditated murder? Is it automatically public official + death by another = assassination?
Thanks in advance - DESK

its not an actual charge but it would be classified as premeditated but then again what do i know :smack:
no emailing a threat is not ok silly…i told you what do i know:D
I’d recommend against it, if only for this: it would turn him into a saint. Last year in Holland we had this guy, Pim Fortuyn, who was about to make it big in the elections: his party was sure to be so big (starting from zero) that he was bound to be the next PM. (Big, loudmouth, bald gay person. I’m not saying those are bad people, I’m just saying I’d rather not have one as my president. Even worse, he was very right-wing, too although to most Americans he’d still be a red flag short of a commie 
Anyway, someone took him out and they made him into a SAINT. Statues, everything. We saw more about the bstrd on TV then, than we would have had he become the PM!
