Don't you have to commit a crime first before things are taken away from you? Talking is not a crime, right?
What, if he had finished his threats with the words "allahu akbar"? Would he be dead now?
Yes, but the law is that it is talking that is not a crime. Barking is. Unless you are a dog.
When some people talk about how to rob a bank, then they will not be arrested, because they have a right of free opinion or a right of free speech. They will be arrested because someone likes to find out, whether this is more than only to speak nonsense. When someone says "I will kill ..." then this should be taken serios. It's a criminal plan. There must be reasons, why someone says so. If everyone is in danger, because this man is a psychopath, then it makes not a big sense to wait. Specially to say so in front of policemen or other authorities is an extreme provocation - nearly a kind of taboo. When someone breaks this taboo - how far is he from a break of the 5th (or 6th) commandement?
You must be a progressive liberal democrat, I have hear I'll kill you endless times, especially when you call American women fat.
