    I don't know, but it sure is harassment. Also threats are more likely for someone to go to jail for especially if those threats are acted upon.

    Yes, if they do kill themselves then it's considered manslaughter. If they don't then it's just considered harassment.

    I'm working on it okay? I've had enough of the name calling. The harassment, the stocking, and threats to my family. I'll do it I'm not sure when.

    Well, that sucks. I only say it to people when they realize that they are pushing my buttons just to get a reaction from me. I do mean it when I'm as mad as hell, though.

    In this day and age, that unfortunately really wouldn't surprise me

    It could count as harassment, so yes. It's unlikely, though.

    if the person does and a lawyer can prove they hadnt thought of that before you suggested it then you would be an accessory to suicide
