Reply #63: yes, a woman, but not a man with a gun, not in the south

Yes, I have heard of women being committed or arrested for shooting off their mouths.

But a man? With a gun? In the south? That just does not strike the police as evidence that the guy is psycho.

In the case I reported, I had a tape reporting of the man threatening to shoot me and some other people. They just shrugged and claimed he didn't sound as if he were serious. If he was not serious, why was he going to the shooting range and practicing with his weapon and getting another person involved in practicing shooting with him?

Maybe the laws are different in San Diego or something but, realistically, this dude was not going to be arrested for shooting off his mouth, no matter how vile his threats and they were apparently pretty vile. Not in Meridian, Mississippi, no way!

And, seriously, do you want to even live in a world where a person can be arrested on the basis of two emails? That doesn't make sense...if she really meant to hurt you, she would have to get a little closer than the internet in my humble opinion. I, OTOH, have to admit to feeling somewhat threatened by Bipolar Dude's gun.
