"If such a communication is addressed to a United States judge, a Federal law enforcement officer, or an official who is covered by section 1114, the individual shall be fined under this title, imprisoned
not more than 10 years, or both."I'm wondering why threatening a US Judge or federal cop carries a penalty twice as harsh as threatening oh, say, a state judge or a city cop. Don't the federal employees work for US? How is it they're considered so much more important? No wonder they think their perspiration doesn't stink.
Oh, wait, it was Congress that wrote that law, wasn't it? Now, I understand.

Well we just have to agree to disagree then. I'll stick to my guns and you to yours. Once you started questioning my comments, I went back and researched the situation via FBI website. My opinion remains the same...sorry

Ahhh, thanks Adriana. I know that was the first article posted from Bay City. (Was not aware of the press conference yesterday.) I sure hope they find this person. One should never threaten a kid let alone another person.

Cherry - The Texas Rangers are the lead investigators in this case. Mr. Brown said the FBI offered help, but they are not involved yet. He said this at the 2 p.m. press conference yesterday.
I also confirmed this information with the Bay City chief of police.

According to the Bay City Tribune the FBI is helping with the Texas Rangers. "The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Texas Rangers joined the law enforcement team working to bring quick justice to whomever sent Bay City Superintendent Keith Brown the handwritten letter containing graphic, terroristic threats to Bay City students on Tuesday, Dec. 28."

Still no involvement from the FBI? How brazen of the police chief. That is one gamble I would not take. I understand the United States' stance that terrorists and their threats will not be tolerated but come on, get someone in there who has experience with terroristic threats and attacks. I doubt those officers have had to pull their guns, much less deal with terrorists.
