investigate the complaint. It seems to me the victims of his death, rape
and
violence threats and harassment, who are global, not merely located in
Virgina, should simply start reporting each instance to local law
enforcement and that the Foundation should support this by providing
relevant data and also either pursue a complaint through his ISP or support
administrators doing so. I think a visit from the police/FBI is more likely
to get through to him and his family than this Special Grand Jury stuff.
I agree. It may very well be a federal offense to use the Internet to make
threats of death and violence. It is definetly against state laws. The
recipients of the threats should be advised to file complaints with law
enforcement. The Foundation should back up the complaints not only with data
for the evidence but also with listing of other complaints in other
jurisdictions already filed.
