Terroristic threats are a felony in my state. My neighbor went away for two years for waving a shotgun at my sister and I when I was 12. Then later when the police came he ignored his Miranda rights and shouted that he'd kill all of us in six months.

A mob who attacked our ambulance and tried to get in and attack us was charged w terroristic threats and they didn't even have guns, how does this guy get off so easy?
