My daughter has this little psychopath bastard of an ex-boyfriend who has harassed her for the last 2+ years. Keeps getting her phone number. She has changed it nine times in two years. He is in Texas, we think. She is in Oregon. But his last text messages included things like “I am going to come kill you”. “I’m going to go Idaho and cut your (new)boyfriends throat.” This is in (writing) texts. I contacted the FBI because she is afraid. They said there was nothing they could do.
That’s not terrorism.
That’s plain old vanilla A-hole-ism!
There is such a thing as a friend of a friend doing a favor and giving him a free thumping or two - doesn’t have to be life threatening - just painful!
On a side note, why do women go on and on about wanting “sensitive” men, and then end up getting drawn to jerks like this?
Makes zero sense.
You should have said that you think her new boyfriend might be a police officer or high up government union worker.

You might try contacting the local U.S. attorneys office citing this law:
18 USC § 875 - INTERSTATE COMMUNICATIONS
(c) Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
