15 years for just a threat?

Can you get that kind of time for just an angry moment threat with no evidence of intent or even premeditation?

That's kind of scary. It makes me paranoid. It's a bit like like at the airport when you say, "I sure hope I don't bomb on my presentation tomorrow" and then you panic because you said the word "bomb" aloud.

I'm not big on threatening people and would never commit an act of violence. I have, however, been frustrated enough with big business jerking me around to spit out some pretty angry diatribe.

Threating to blow something up is really out of line--but should it really be a 15 year offense.

That's not so unusual--just last year, a guy on Long Island was annoyed with his high electric bill and wrote "LIPA sucks" on the envelope. He got jail time for that when the power authority reported it as a threat.
