Oh and how strong is an POS m80? It might take the dents out of your mail box and open the door! LMFAO
There have been documented cases of users losing their fingers or hands[6]. Peter Criss, drummer for the rock band Kiss, was a victim of an M-80 during a 1976 Richmond Coliseum concert when a fan threw an M-80 onto the stage, nearly knocking him off his drum riser and leaving him with partial hearing loss for the remainder of the night.[7]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-80_%28explosive%29
"Roger Stockham was arraigned Wednesday on one count of making a false report or threat of terrorism and one count of possessing explosives with an unlawful intent. Stockham had a large but undisclosed quantity of class-C fireworks including M-80s, which are outlawed in Michigan, Chief Ronald Haddad said."
2 Counts... having m80s, which is illegal by itself......
Due to property damages and bodily harm caused by M-80s, Class A fireworks—now known as Consumer Fireworks (class 1.4G), as opposed to Display Fireworks (which were Class B, and are now 1.3G)[5]— civilians are no longer allowed to carry a pyrotechnic device containing more than 50 milligrams of pyrotechnic flash powder. In 1966, M-80s and cherry bombs were banned by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Child Protection Act of 1966. Furthermore, they were then made illegal by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) in the 1970s. In 1975, U.S. federal regulations were passed to limit all consumer-grade fireworks in the United States to a maximum of 50 milligrams flash powder, down from a previous maximum of 200 milligrams (though firecrackers mounted onto a rocket stick, or other aerial firework devices, such as Rockets, Roman Candles, and Cakes, may have up to 160 mg).
And the false report or threat of terrorism. How would you define it?
RO, you and pa go off on your little tangents without really reading the whole articles or knowing the whole story. He made the threat, he believed in his ever lovin tin-foil-hat mind that the M80s would do the job. M80s have been shown, repeatedly, to cause bodily damage.
Thats enough. No different than if he had said he was going to the mosque with a gun. The threat was made.
