An unqualified offer of five grand to snatch a sample of someone's hair sounds like it to me.
It's much as I get irritated and incensed at incurred violations as it applies to the exercise of free speech, I have to concede in this respect that although rather benign, it's really not much different in principle than somebody offering money for multiple Hitman (of sorts ) carried out on another person.
Given the specific nature of this, I'm not sure if jail time was warranted in consideration it was not a call for somebody's murder or grievous bodily harm, but certainly a hefty fine and some kind of penalty like additional community service would be.
Still it doesn't upset me too terribly that somebody like that would actually get jail at some point with something like this. I'd have to side with Hillary if she ever reacted to somebody running directly add her with a pair of scissors without knowing what the intent is.
It's one of those gray areas with me
where it's really hard to tell when Free Speech ends, and posing a real threat begins.
I'm not shedding any tears over the guy going to jail. It's hard to tell if he even learned a lesson of the potential repercussions of what he said with people taking him seriously and actually attempting such a thing.
