I think the bigger question here is, 'could you get away with it'?

I'm not sure I understand. Get away with what?

I'm sorry, your question was:

"...could you shoot them?"

My question is:

Could you get away with shooting 'them'?

No.

If someone made a terrorist threat to you, could you shoot them? I don't think that you could.

I am sick and tired of excuses and molly-coddlin' miscreants...of all races, creeds and ages.

Children can't make cyber terrorist threats without access to a computer and most children don't make enough money to buy their own.

In his wildest dreams, I don't even think that Ben Franklin could have thought about this. Congress shall make no law abridging the right to make cyber threats or bullying.

I think that my major issue is arresting children, without exploring other methods of trying to curb this type of behavior. To me it is analogous to expelling children from school for drawing a picture of a gun. It reeks of other "zero tolerance" policies which I find odious.

Two junior high students at a Katy ISD school were arrested Friday in connection with making terroristic threats. Administrators became concerned after reading a comment about damage to the campus and harming other students on a Facebook page.

I am beginning to wonder about these "terrorist threat" arrests stemming from internet postings.
