Hello Anonymous User.

I am afraid you have just committed a Class Act 6 felony in threatening bodily harm or death to another person. Even though this is through an anonymous message, intent is still there, and the law clearly states that no matter the form of message — whether that be physical, sent through a message board, emailed, implied, etc—it is still considered a death threat and is, therefore, illegal.

Consequences of committing an Class Act 6 felony include “a term of imprisonment of not less than one year nor more than five years, or in the discretion of the jury or the court trying the case without a jury, confinement in jail for not more than 12 months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both.” (Cited from the Code of Virginia Law.)

Hello, Anonymous User.

I am afraid this is also a felony as encouraging another person to commit suicide, in any way, shape, or form, counts as a form of reckless endangerment. While the degree of reckless endangerment (whether first or second) depends on the outcome, no matter what it is considered an class E felony. Much like a Class 6 felony, you can face no less than a year in prison but no more than 5, however you may have to face a much more staggering fine of up to $250,000.

I would also be remiss to mention that if I did kill myself directly after receiving this message, you could also be at risk of being charged for manslaughter as it could be argued that your words indirectly lead to my death. Luckily, I have no intentions of doing so and am of clear state of mind, but I think you should be more aware of the effect your words might have.
