RE CRIMINALIZING TEXT MESSAGES MASSACHUSETTS WHY NOT TRUMP'S TWEETS?

What a ridiculous precedent to have set...

Most lawyers, reading this, would think it frankly unimaginable, yet it is now imaginable in Massachusetts.

He probably had had five people he knew who had told him stuff like: "You didn't try hard enough."

How about say urging someone you know is clumsy, or retarded, or weird, or a daredevil, or just frisky:
"Go sky diving!"
"Go bridge jumping!"
"Why don't you go play in the street."
"Roll in dirt."
"Break a leg!" ('minor felony', now.)

Real smart precedent...
Any uncomplimentary, or bad joking, or callous, thing you say to someone could be turned into a criminal case now, in Massachusetts.
 
How bout this: you get a call from a robo credit card telephone solicitor. It says it is recorded. (Usually they are themselves criminal fraudulent attempts to get your personal information.)You tell the caller, usually now from say Bangla Desh, that they would be better off committing suicide than to continue in this tedious low paying and dreadful occupation interacting telephonically with the dog of an infidel. They promptly take your advice and kill themselves. Their Bangla Deshy relatives then swear out a criminal complaint in Boston for manslaughter against you.... What a thoroughly ridiculous outcome of the internet.

Massachusetts can even say that remarks to no one in particular, which affect a Mass resident adversely, is grounds for indictment and extradition to Mass.

What about accomplices, who also knew him and had made bad jokes, urging him to kill himself?

What about a conspiracy theory?

Massachusetts is now, again, as it once was, both at and before the founding, a laughing stock for the civilized world.

Where did they get this judge? Probate, family law?

Under such criteria, many of say Trump's tweets would be claimed by zealots to be felonious. Ridiculous.
