The Ninth Circuit concluded that a “true threat” is “a statement which, in the entire context and under all the circumstances, a reasonable person would foresee would be interpreted by those to whom the statement is communicated as a serious expression of intent to inflict bodily harm upon that person.”
1239 “It is not necessary that the defendant intend to, or be able to carry out his threat; the only intent requirement for a true threat is that the defendant intentionally or knowingly communicate the threat.”
1240
Judge Alex Kozinski, in one of three dissenting opinions, agreed with the majority’s definition of a true threat, but believed that the majority had failed to apply it, because the speech in this case had not been “communicated as
a serious expression of intent to inflict bodily harm. . . .”
1241 “The difference between a true threat and protected expression,” Judge Kozinski wrote, “is this: A true threat warns of violence or other harm that the speaker controls. . . . Yet the opinion points to no evidence that defendants who prepared the posters would have been understood by a reasonable listener as saying that
they will cause the harm. . . . Given this lack of evidence, the posters can be viewed, at most, as a call to arms for
other abortion protesters to harm plaintiffs. However, the Supreme Court made it clear that under
Brandenburg, encouragement or even advocacy of violence is protected by the
First Amendment. . . .”
1242 Moreover, the Court held in
Claiborne that “[t]he mere fact the statements could be understood ‘as intending to create a fear of violence’ was insufficient to make them ‘true threats’ under
Watts.”

As we said before, it's nigh impossible to be besties with people you only know online, as walls of text, on a forum where keeping personal details is encouraged. But it's a good environment for interesting discussions.


Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life

Do you know how many people either die or get seriously hurt trying to fawn with these monsters? Please wake up. They are not your friends. There is a reason why they haven't touched me. This thread with their threats is all they have. They've tried to affect me where I live and were shut down.
You are playing with fire and I don't want to see you get hurt.
4 years spent defeating you. You actually still think Weinstein is important here.....
Shut up Kanye
