Well Dan,
I do too know a little about the subject myself, being a correctional sergeant and I have seen a “wannabe gangsta” did follow through. But when he got to the correctional officer’s house, he was the one with the shortened life.

We already have laws on the books against threats, harassment (personal and telephonic) and extortion, and even enhancements when such acts are committed against law enforcement, corrections and legal/judicial personnel. Supporters only cite generalized information with no supporting data on the purported “increase” in alleged acts against personnel and families – usually it’s a wannabe gangsta mouthing off as he’s being arrested, and there have been absolutely NO reported cases of any of these punks following through. It’s unnecessary legislation and a pander from the right to law enforcement.

And yes, I do know a little something about this topic – I was once a prosecutor.
