  • I’m sorry, but repeating the words associated with an actual murder, but not saying “I am going to kill you” is a bit of a stretch to claim terrorism.

    Here is the definition of domestic terrorism from the FBI’s website: “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”

    What about this incident is violent?

    EDIT: Just to be clear, I am in no way defending these people. I just think the terrorism charge is overdoing it. Sure, a threat, but terrorism?





  • Waiting 24 hours to report a person missing isn’t a myth… just a stupid fucking thing that happens a lot and has no basis in law.

    You could try to report a person missing immediately but depending on their age, gender, sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, economic status, job employment, location, and maybe many more factors, a police/sheriff department might flat out deny a report because they simply can’t do their job right.

    It’s not a myth; it is reality and many people encounter this issue. Especially in the ‘70s and ‘80s in the United States, teenagers would often be dismissed as missing and considered runaways. So the fact is you might be forced to wait or have your report completely ignored by the appropriate law enforcement agency.
