Under Pennsylvania law, the crime of terroristic threats has nothing to do with hijacking planes, detonating bombs, or other acts of political violence. Rather, the criminal charge of terroristic threats is commonly brought against people accused of domestic violence.
A person commits terroristic threats by communicating a threat to commit any crime of violence with intent to terrorize another. The communication could occur directly, such as: sending a threatening text to an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend. The communication could occur indirectly, such as: posting a threatening message on social media about an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend.
