If I called your mom, sister, wife, or daughter up, and told them that I was going to cut them up into little pieces and feed them to my pet iguana. Especially if they looked out the window and saw me talking on a cell phone. You wouldn't have a problem with that? What I said is a little more graphic, but it's basically the same thing, it's a threat to take someone's life. In this case, 2400 people's lives. With the person obviously in direct proximity, because they left the note on board...only people able to follow through on the threat can leave the note. Although even a letter or a phone call from someone far away is still a crime, the close proximity for me is what changes it from a crackpot loony to a serious threat. By law though, I don't think it matters if they're standing next to you or half a continent away. If someone in another state called my wife and said that I'd call the cops, if someone outside my house did it I'd shove my shotgun down their throat and pull the trigger till I ran out of shells.
What gets me is that this girl is actually a woman, she's 20, this sounds like something that a 14 year old love struck teen would do. Poor guy that she's in love with, in the end she probably won't even want him. Most of the girls I know that went to prison, came out of prison more interested in other girls than guys.
