Nếu như bạ bị một thằng bát nháo, bại hoại cặn bã của xã hội, hăm doạ cắt gân bạn, và bỏ tiền treo giải thưởng cho ai kiếm được nhà của bạn...hỏi thử tinh thần của bạn có bị tổn thương vì bất an không?

Nói như vậy không có nghĩa là mình đồng ý với người thanh niên viết những lời lẽ xỉ nhục người khác, ở Mỹ mà viết những lời lẽ dơ bẩn như vậy thì có thể bị kiện tội "sexual harassment" quấy rối tình dục.


Communication
A criminal threat involves one person threatening someone else with physical harm. The threat must be communicated in some way, though it doesn't necessarily have to be verbal. A person can make a threat through email, text message, or even through non-verbal body language such as gestures or movements.

Fear and Intent
Criminal threats are made with the intention to place someone in fear of injury or death. However, it isn't necessary for a victim to actually experience fear or terror. Rather, it's the intention of the person making the threat that matters.

Penalties
A criminal threat can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony offense. While felony offenses are more serious than misdemeanors, either of them can result in incarceration, fines, and other penalties.

1. Prison or jail. Anyone convicted of making a criminal threat faces a substantial time in jail or prison. A misdemeanor conviction can result in up to a year in county jail, while felony convictions can impose sentences of five years or more.
   
2. Fines. A misdemeanor conviction might bring a fine of up to $1,000, though more is possible in some situations. Felony convictions can have fines that exceed $10,000.
   
3. Probation. A court may sentence someone convicted of making criminal threats to probation. Probation typically lasts at least 12 months, during which time you must comply with specific probation conditions. Common conditions include maintaining employment, asking the court or your probation officer's permission before you move or leave the state, and not committing any more crimes.
