Here is the law about Terrorist threats: Terroristic Threats in the
Official Code of Georgia Section 16-11-37:

(a) A person commits the offense of a terroristic threat when he or she
threatens to commit any crime of violence, to release any hazardous
substance, as such term is defined in Code Section 12-8-92, or to burn or
damage property with the purpose of terrorizing another or of causing the
evacuation of a building, place of assembly, or facility of public
transportation or otherwise causing serious public inconvenience or in
reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience. No
person shall be convicted under this subsection on the uncorroborated
testimony of the party to whom the threat is communicated.

(b) A person commits the offense of a terroristic act when: (1) He or she
uses a burning or flaming cross or other burning or flaming symbol or
flambeau with the intent to terrorize another or another's household; (2)
While not in the commission of a lawful act, he or she shoots at or throws
an object at a conveyance which is being operated or which is occupied by
passengers; or (3) He or she releases any hazardous substance or any
simulated hazardous substance under the guise of a hazardous substance for
the purpose of terrorizing another or of causing the evacuation of a
building, place of assembly, or facility of public transportation or
otherwise causing serious public inconvenience or in reckless disregard of
the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience.

(c) A person convicted of the offense of a terroristic threat shall be
punished by a fine of not more than $ 1,000.00 or by imprisonment for not
less than one nor more than five years, or both. A person convicted of the
offense of a terroristic act shall be punished by a fine of not more than $
5,000.00 or by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than ten years,
or both; provided, however, that if any person suffers a serious physical
injury as a direct result of an act giving rise to a conviction under this
Code section, the person so convicted shall be punished by a fine of not
more than $ 250,000.00 or imprisonment for not less than five nor more than
40 years, or both.

(d) A person who commits or attempts to commit a terroristic threat or act
with the intent to retaliate against any person for: (1) Attending a
judicial or administrative proceeding as a witness, attorney, judge, or
party or producing any record, document, or other object in a judicial or
official proceeding; or (2) Providing to a law enforcement officer, adult or
juvenile probation officer, prosecuting attorney, or judge any information
relating to the commission or possible commission of an offense under the
laws of this state or of the United States or a violation of conditions of
bail, pretrial release, probation, or parole shall be guilty of the offense
of a terroristic threat or act and, upon conviction thereof, shall be
punished, for a terroristic threat, by imprisonment for not less than five
nor more than ten years or by a fine of not less than $ 50,000.00, or both,
and, for a terroristic act, by imprisonment for not less than five nor more
than 20 years or by a fine of not less than $ 100,000.00, or both.

No big deal unless that BB hit you, right?

Hell, we used to have BB gun wars on my uncle's farm!

Have 2 eyes now? If so, you are lucky. Other's were not. Like I said,
kids
shooting bb guns has ruined a man's life. It is inexcusable to shoot
at
passing cars.

So, you agree that they should be charged with Terroristic acts????
Hmm, I find it odd that you right wingers are pro gun, except when it
comes to something personal. And sure, it's wrong to shoot at passing
cars, who said it wasn't? But, I'll tell you this, with a little Daisy,
by the time that bb gets to the car, it's going REAL SLOW. Should we
outlaw sticks, too? They've been known to take people's eyes out. Hell,
maybe even more eyes have been lost to sticks. The Consumer Product
Safety Commission estimates that in 2003, there were 550,000 to 600,000
injuries associated with bicycles and 97,640 injuries from skateboards
that required emergency room treatment, compared with 19,504 for air
guns -- including the high-powered air guns.

I know, I shouldn't say anything to you, so I'll be nice.

Even if the bb is going 'very' slow, wouldn't the speed of the car still
be able
to cause the impact to be severe? Did you ever see what a small rock,
going very
slow, does to the windshield of a car going 60mph?

Oh, ****!!!! I spilled my water bottle laughing at that!!! Hmm, that
would mean that the kids would have to be in FRONT of the vehicle. If
they were behind then the car could be going faster than the bb. Would
that make the driver of the CAR guilty of terroristic threats?

The law in Georgia specifies terroristic acts.

I didn't say "terroristic acts", it's great how you twist things to
make it sound like you know what you're talking about. I said
"terroristic THREATS". Show me that GA law.

Are you asking for
agreement/disagreement with the laws of Georgia? Why? So your slam at DHS
will
make sense?

How about just saying, "OK, I made a mistake."

Yes, how about saying just that, John. You made a mistake.
