his ancestors founded the town and when Texas seceded, they remained loyal to the Union, even though that meant many would be "summarily executed" by Confederate soldiers for refusing to sign loyalty oaths.

I wonder how his ancestors feel about having a felon in their family now over this issue: Or that salt of the earth existing family that raised him so well?

Also, what his family did and what stock he came from have no bearing on the case. He should get jail time.

Seriously. Are his ancestors on trial? Are they the ones who phoned in death threats based on a transparent (no pun intended) lie? No, they are not.

Redneck gets 90 days for causing anxiety on parents / staff / sick children. One of my children had to be operated there when he was almost 2. I was scared stiff and this POS induces fright into a situation where people are already in a bad place to begin with?

Seems a bit lenient to me.

I hope he suffers a lot in jail to be honest with you.

If you want to make life cheap, be careful when it comes back your way.

Sentencing is usually based on various factors. Each factor is scored. The total score than provides the judge with guidance as to the sentencing. This is based on Federal law. Look into Federal sentencing to understand how this works.

A prison sentence is just the begging however, The guy will now have to report to a Probation officer at least monthly if not weekly. That probably means urine tests. If the guy used to use marijuana then he best stop. If urine tests were part of the sentencing then showing up positive for use of any substance still illegal under Federal law can mean a return to prison. If it turns out that the guy was drunk when he made the calls then his alcohol consumption may be an issue of his supervision. Add finally that for the rest of his life he is a convicted felon. Never a positive thing for finding employment. And of course, if the guy does this again then his sentence will be longer due to a prior conviction.

In a society where few people can ever live off gird a criminal conviction is a brand. It is a scarlet C that the owner will wear for the rest of their life.

but I agree, the sentence is much too short, if even just for a deterrent to someone trying this shit again.

Further proof there is no such thing as a remotely decent GOP MAGA. Every single one is a pathetic disgrace to the human race.

And so when he took a break from "bailing hay in a field in Atascosa County" one hot August day and watched a "news" account about alleged horrors at Children's Hospital in Boston,

What is this, a section from the book "Little House on the Prairie"?

Even fucking Mary Ingalls, who was blind as a bat, could see through this nonsense.

jfc.

The sentence is not long enough.

Someone who would make such a threat presents an ongoing problem to the public well-being. I mean, think about it. Leaving aside the question of just how many lead paint chips you ate as a child to believe that children were being castrated and undergoing hysterectomies, if your addled brain sincerely believed that such harm was being done, what is the appropriate course of action if you wanted to fix this? There are a number of possibilities, but "call the doctor that you believe is doing this and threaten them" is not one of them. The substance and nature of the disagreement is just part of the issue; the manner in which this individual chose to resolve it points to an ongoing threat to society, any time this idiot's prominent buttons are pushed by anything at all.

Such an obsession with the genitalia of children should land him on the sex offender list at the very least.
