Talk:Death threat

message: I wikified and rewrote the article but otherwise left the content as it was. Can anyone confirm that the 1st amendment works like that? --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 14:18, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems unlikely to me that death threats are protected speech, except when not intended seriously.  But I don't know, and I wouldn't know how to find out, so I added the dubious marker.  NickelShoe 15:45, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed it, since I think the original editor has had long enough to back his/her claim up (and if they can source this claim, they can put it back in). The guidelines suggest asking for peer review before removing something, but I don't think I've been too lax in not doing so - it seems to me that that would be more suitable if it was a question of 'A or B', not 'A or Not A'. --Last Malthusian 20:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't know how this is defined in legal terms, but linguists and philosophers have a concept of "speech acts", which are also called "performatives." Uttering a threat does more than just making a statement. It also threatens someone. Bostoner (talk) 18:56, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  1st amendment? 

message: A list of notable Death Threats, and how they were perceived by the public and their legal status might be added to this article. Just an idle thought. I have a long list in mind, but since it might be considered NPOV, I shall waitDanielDemaret 18:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's an excellent idea.  I have a few in mind myself.  Also should include whether death threat was carried out or attempted.  --George100 08:33, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A list

message: I think there should be a disambiguation page for Terroristic Threat / Terroristic Threats.  One link would point here, another to the Terrorist Threats musical album.  --George100 08:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation - a terrorist threat against an individual is not normally regarded as terrorism, but a terrorist threat against a group, or institution often is?
I am not sure that Death Threats is Law Enforcement article.  Perhaps it is more of Sociology / Criminology article?

thread_title:  Notable subject - perhaps - but in what context? 

message: I propose that there should be a section in the article about how death threats are dealt with in certain countries.  Montgomery' 39 (talk)
                                                                 
This is just a threat of murder.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.141.20.9 (talk) 18:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Punishments 

message: According to this article, death threats against non-public/royal persons are not a criminal offence in the U.S.A.? Is this correct? 85.4.141.205 (talk) 14:50, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Crime?

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, but the indentations and things in this article seem to be screwed up too me. Maybe it's just me being a grammar Nazi, but still I think there should be heading in bold Using the two == marks or three or however many it takes. Also, anyone have an idea for an image? I know its hard but is an image of something possible here? I'm Flightx52 and I approve this message 23:48, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Format 

message: WP:LEADSENTENCE does not always call for having the title in bold and this is one of the cases were it should not be, as it distorts the sentence to do so.  See also the essay on superfluous bolding explained. Mathglot (talk) 07:08, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
