You actually can respond to threats so you are wrong. If he was in a different location she couldnt drive over and do it, but they were in the same room. She is legally fine, he may not be.

Lol ridiculous. So you are saying this woman had no reason to be in any fear of a person who takes a picture of them and posts in on social media and says they will attack them if they get 7k retweets??? Whatever. World is nuts.

Its pretty cut and dry, he doesnt create a threatening environment for a female peer bu inciting viollence, he doesnt have to dry himself off or let evaporation take place.
lol if you think a cup of water is assault you have lived a very shelted life.
Legally, it is. He did threaten her, but the response should have been to alert campus security. I am pretty sure the school would agree.

what the hell is psychichal action, is that like from the movie scanners? Is that making their heads explode with your mind?
Did you mean physical action??? and no that is not true, you can legally take physical action against someone who threatens you in certain circumstances.
Do those apply here? Not sure, depends on state law and the specific sequence of events, etc...

wow hold on... Do NOT compare someone who does not provide a SERVICE to someone that they disagree with, with someone who threatens to destroy someone else's personal property because they don't agree with them.
If the tow truck driver had hooked up a chain to the car and flipped it around destroying it because it had a bernie sticker on it, then you might have a valid point.

For all those lefties and liberals that have a little trouble understanding the situation on the OP and are openly insulting the cognitive capabilities of the other members, when in fact it is your own understanding that is flawed, read along:
The guy is actually doing the following federal fault:
Cyberstalking
"Cyberstalking" generally refers to stalking someone through the internet, email, text messages, or other means of electronic communication. Many states have revised their harassment and/or stalking laws to explicitly include harassing electronic communications. Some states also punish actions akin to cyberstalking under laws aimed at improper uses of computers or electronic communications networks.
Federal law makes it a crime to "transmit in interstate commerce" (which includes the internet) a communication containing a threat to kidnap or physically harm someone.
See more at: criminal.findlaw.com...
This is considered criminal harassment according to tort law; which in this circumstance is considered threatening behavior.
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.

I cannot believe this post has gone on so long. It has gone on longer than his getting 7k tweets and her throwing water.
You've posted in this thread A LOT. Perhaps you should leave if you're being triggered/bored.

well, i know im being technical here....but he threatened her computer. Not her.
In other words, even in Texas were he to then approach her menacingly, she would not be in her right to shoot him during daylight hours, even in her own front yard. He has only threatened property, not person.
