I think I do. I mean, I don't go around making threats, so it doesn't matter to me from that side.

You don't make threats from your perspective, but perception is key. When decisions aren't made with reason in mind, you being misinterpreted effects you.

Imagine saying "I believe the war on Iraq was justified" (for arguments sake) and because somebody has a hate-boner for militaries they decide that means you think Iraqis should be murdered in their homes. You would be seen as threatening to Iraqis from their perspective, which means you would be considered guilty of violent threats to an entire race.

A reasonable man wouldn't see it this way, but what was suggested was to ignore what is reasonable because violence is scary.

Sure. Whatever. Though, with most normal people, you can tell what's an actual threat, and what's not. And like people were saying earlier, it has to be reasonable. A Karen saying you were threatening them because you would give them something you own, like your wheelchair, isn't reasonable.

As for you example, it doesn't matter if only one person sees that as a threat, because not everybody does. And most normal people won't see it that way. And in the end, if some random person calls the cops on you for that, most cops are just going to leave.

And I would feel safer if the people threatening me were put away... Why wouldn't people feel safer...

I wouldn't feel safe from gub'mint if anybody could be put away for being perceived as threatening regardless of intent. People are put in straight jackets for their own protection, but I doubt anybody in a straight jacket appreciates that.

It has to be seen as reasonable, as stated earlier. I would very much feel safe. I would rather a reasonable threat be taken seriously, and I stay alive. Rather than nobody taking the threat against my life seriously and I end up hurt or dead...
