This is a follow-up of a thread posted by Kristinn about two weeks ago:

Wrentham Chief Seeks Blog Probe (of Free Republic )

We were all confused then what the crime was. Apparently, there wasn't any.

Free Republic still isn't a blog. And this Jennifer Firth sounds like a real idiot.

A Ping to you all.

Phantom Lord - the other paper (Bellingham Country Times) claims you're the one who made the "winning tactic - kill your opponent" comment. It doesn't matter. According to that paper:

"First Assistant District Attorney Dennis Mahoney found there was no basis that any blog entry constituted a threat against Pazurchek, that the use of the word "kill" did not constitute a real threat, and that there was no evidence the author of the comment is or was a Wrentham police officer."

"Ms. Firth said somebody told her that, but she couldn't remember who it was. Ms. Firth stated she thinks she heard the rumor on the street," the report states.

Oh that's believable....

The FR rule not to threaten a person or urge the murder of someone is a good one. A public threat can come back and bite you.

On the other hand, threats to kill Osama, Chavez, or Islamofascists is probably okay but I could be wrong.

I haven't seen an FR rule about posting a threat to kill killers.
