RALEIGH, N.C. – A Wendell man was arrested on a criminal complaint for the interstate communication of threats toward executives at Advanced Auto Parts.

And that’s why jury nullification, and a right to trial by jury exists
At this point it’s really just depends on if the feds want to do something, cause anything you do electronically probably extends over state lines.
