There were two examples in the news recently of people who were arrested for expressing that sentiment.

In Westmoreland County, a man whose legs have been amputated and whose lawyer says he has limited use of his arms is charged with threatening to punch and strangle a Common Pleas judge in a child support case. Despite the handicaps, officials believe that the volatile nature of domestic court proceedings made the threat credible.

In Carnegie, a man threatened to kill elementary school employees after his kindergarten-age son got on a school bus by mistake. The threat was especially inappropriate because the error was discovered almost immediately and the bus returned the child to the school.
