<div>How do you define "proximity?" Recall the recent murder in Moscow and how far the perpetrators came? They were from the Seattle area, were they not?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And now "over the Internet" can mean someone can send voice, data and video of whatever they choose, perhaps a more compelling form of communication than receiving a message on a phone answering machine. The Internet might thus provide more "imminence.".
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It does seem though that communication on Internet list serves provides a outlet for people to make statements of a very negative nature that we are supposed to take with a grain of salt... as though the "speech" involved is not meant to be taken seriously.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is an unfortunate approach to Internet list serves, which Vision2020 demonstrates.</div>

<br>does not remotely constitute imminence. Furthermore, without proximity, the<br>"apparent ability to do so" is highly suspect. Again, I ask that people<br>report crimes to the appropriate law enforcement agencies when they feel as
<br>though one has been committed. If you have a question as to whether or not<br>a threat on Vision 2020 is criminal, I am more than happy to answer that<br>even if it requires me to consult with the prosecutor. Sunil is also very

<br>thought it might behoove us to re-read the pertinent Idaho Code:<br><br>TITLE 18<br> CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS<br> CHAPTER 9<br>ASSAULT AND BATTERY<br>18-901. ASSAULT DEFINED. An assault is:<br>(a) An unlawful attempt, coupled with apparent ability, to commit a violent
<br>injury on the person of another; or (b) An intentional, unlawful threat by<br>word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an<br>apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded
<br>fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.<br><br>Thought this might help?<br><br>For the Love of the Code, Doug!<br><br>___________________________________________________<br>Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
