    I’d love to see his legal defense be:

    I threw it at the gate because it was just a message. If I wanted to kill him I’d have _____.

    Cuz like…

    Realistically throwing a moltov at a (presumably) metal gate isn’t the same as attempted murder.

    If I was on a jury, that’d be enough for me to say “not guilty” at least.

      I wonder if he’d written a death threat in chalk on the ground, if that would be a greater or lesser crime?

      What about “burn, baby, burn!”? Would that count as equal death threat to “Imma murderize you!”?
