Isn't this legally considered Assault?

John Cusack Calls for 'Satanic Death' of Fox News, GOP Leaders

Cusack has long been outspoken about politics. He supported Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election and has contributed to The Huffington Post, but this is the first known time he has stooped to the level of making threats.

And while the U.S. Constitution protects Cusack's right to speak his mind, some critics say he should be more careful about what he says, since he has more than 200,000 Twitter followers.

“His provocative tweets could easily incite a rabid fan to commit violent acts against Fox News Headquarters and others he names," said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a Beverly Hills-based psychiatrist and author of "Coping With Terrorism: Dreams Interrupted."

Satanic Death? WTF, is that like he wants to exorcise his Second Amendment rites.

 

[Tank]

Never underestimate the satanic abilitys of the liberal.

 

[goldcatt]

No.

Tho, we must admit, what he said is pretty darn moronic too.

or the spelling abilities of neanderthals

It would be considered free speech.

of course, he's a lib

 

[goldcatt]

It would be considered free speech.

The OP might (if he's not a complete idiot, which is debatable) have been looking for the word "incitement". But it's doesn't come close to that either.

 

[Douger]

You'll all agree. Soon enough.
You're going down and are too stupid/brainwashed to believe it.

Well if some devil worshipper sacrifices some FOX News babe to the liberal anti-God, and claims "The Cusack made me do it", perhaps he could be found culpable.

I think he's a very talented actor and enjoy his movies. But I may have to rethink that. I wouldn't want to contribute to his drug problems. Guy's got serious issues.

That's what you think, jackass.

I had a girlfriend like that once......

Ba-da-BING! Ba-da-BOOM!

Why do you post on this board?

 

[Father Time]

Uh no. To be considered assault you have to actually have to hit someone (or throw something at them).

 

[George Costanza]

Uh no. To be considered assault you have to actually have to hit someone (or throw something at them).

Nope. Assault is putting someone in reasonable apprehension of being hit. Actually hitting them is a battery.

I'm not sure that urging someone else to do harm to a third party is a crime. If it is, I have never run into it.

This sub-section of USMB is like listening to jailhouse lawyers

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to del again.
