From the example we talked about in session nine of our class and the PowerPoint, Hal Turner wrote on his personal blog (similar to Jake’s e-mails) that three judges from Chicago deserved to be killed. Since this is not a direct threat to the three judges, this is protected under the First Amendment. The next day, he posted photographs of the judges, a map showing the Chicago courthouse, and a note of the placement of “anti-truck bombing barriers”. This is where free speech is not protected. Once he did this on his blog, there is a direct threat to the three judges and, therefore, he got arrested. Hal’s case is similar to Jake’s in that once he plotted online through e-mail how they could kidnap these young women, which would incite a panic to society; thus, becoming a threat. Basing Jake’s case off Hal’s, it is determined in our group that Jake should be placed behind bars.
