[Extremely urgent] Extra Rules violation.

In this thread, JLTucker made a comment which is a felony offense under US Federal law--and could have serious repercussions for Mike as the owner of the board, and possibly on every single poster on the board. I'm asking the moderation take immediate and appropriate action to show that we will not tolerate this sort of violation of federal law and that it in no way represents the beliefs or opinions of anyone on the board except for this retard.

Since I don't think anyone would like the Secret Service getting involved, the comment in violation of law has been edited out.

Thank you kindly. I tend to like not being strip-searched at the airport.

I agree with the action.

A question though:

I can understand "I am going to perform y on x" would be illegal as it's obviously an explicit threat. My question is, is the statement "If y was to happen to x, I would feel pretty good about it" illegal?

x being a person of some political significance
y being some negative action of varying intensity

Not that I'm advocating testing the consequences of said statements, I recognise that I'm probably analysing the statement further then an SS agent would.

I suppose we should take it on a case-by-case basis?

It's not illegal as such, but men in black suits wearing black sunglasses will show up at your door in black armoured SUVs and tell you in a manner which will make you literally piss yourself that if you do anything like that again, let alone move to direct threats, you are going to regret it for eternity. If you're a foreigner, you will not be allowed into the United States if you're on a list of people who've made comments like that--they'll detain you at customs, give you a Come to Jesus visit just like that described above, and send you right back to whence you came. The best thing to say is that it's highly stupid.

Ah, good. Consider me in perfect agreement.
