That seems to be the authorities favorite new "throw away" charge. It isn't bad enough he chopped somebody with an axe...but GASP...he made TERRORISTIC THREATS while doing it.
Law enforcement has to diminish the meaning of the term “terrorist” to suggest that “everybody does it”. No profiling of Islamic jihadists, plz.
Never mind that. I hate how “terrorism” is being applied to every common crime and maybe some not so common and nasty crimes. None of which falls under the true definition of terrorism. Dumbing down everything these days trying to make federal cases out of all.
Terroristic threats is a garbage charge allowing cops to arrest you for anything they wish.
