[edit] 1st amendment?

I wikified and rewrote the article but otherwise left the content as it was. Can anyone confirm that the 1st amendment works like that? --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 14:18, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

It seems unlikely to me that death threats are protected speech, except when not intended seriously. But I don't know, and I wouldn't know how to find out, so I added the dubious marker. NickelShoe 15:45, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

I've removed it, since I think the original editor has had long enough to back his/her claim up (and if they can source this claim, they can put it back in). The guidelines suggest asking for peer review before removing something, but I don't think I've been too lax in not doing so - it seems to me that that would be more suitable if it was a question of 'A or B', not 'A or Not A'. --Last Malthusian 20:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A list

A list of notable Death Threats, and how they were perceived by the public and their legal status might be added to this article. Just an idle thought. I have a long list in mind, but since it might be considered NPOV, I shall waitDanielDemaret 18:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I think that's an excellent idea. I have a few in mind myself. Also should include whether death threat was carried out or attempted. --George100 08:33, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terroristic Threat

I think there should be a disambiguation page for Terroristic Threat / Terroristic Threats. One link would point here, another to the Terrorist Threats musical album. --George100 08:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
