And a case here in Washington in the last week or so points things out.
Some dude, about 50ish, was sentenced to a year in jail.
What did he do?
He sent life threatening emails to Gregoire.
Why did he do it?
Because the state had notified him they were going to CUT HIS WELFARE BENEFITS!!
And now he has 'three hots and a cot' for a year!
If you have no shame, and no gumption, he just hit the jackpot for sending an e-mail or two. (What??? Welfare benefits and sending eMail???)
