According to an affidavit written by a DPS special agent, Ozment allegedly called the Governor’s Office on the afternoon of July 25. DPS claims Ozment left the following voicemail (KXAN has redacted the profanity in the transcript provided by DPS):

“I don’t know which one of you sons of b—-es passed this motherf—ing bill to get this damn s— blocking my motherf—ing anime, but you whole a– motherf—ers need to unpass this s—. Y’all are f—ing ridiculous with your b—- a–es. My Google account says I’m f—ing over the age of 18, and your dumba– is passing these dumba– laws. I’m a f—ing stab every godd— one of you b—-es. Unlock my f—ing anime.”

Did he break an actual law?

[–] don_kiedyck@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

The second sentence from the last sounds like terroristic threats.

Edit: typo

Ah yes. I missed the word stab. I was focusing on the swear words. Still think terrorism is a stretch though

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

It actually stands for System TABle

[–] stevles@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

No, it's the name of a crime in the US basically meaning threatening to kill or injure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terroristic_threat

Is every threat, no matter how plausible, considered terrorism, now?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago

Pretty much. The state has a monopoly on violence. They can threaten you, and use force, as much as they want. If you do the same, and they don't like it, that's terrorism.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

That was always the point since those terrorism laws were passed. Any inconvenience can be articulated under that excuse and you can easily remove anyone by the same claims.

Everything working as designed.

It could be protected hyperbole, would depend on the jury I imagine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_threat

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 2 points 2 days ago

Yes, please fall in line citizen.

What about it sounds terrorist? I don't see any homeless people being fed.

He said he was going to stab people.
