Utah mom, 43, is arrested on terrorism charge after 'threatening to kill everyone inside a dentist's office'
2019-09-03
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A mother allegedly threatened to 'kill everybody' inside a dentist's office because she was forced to reschedule her two kids' appointment for being late.

Linda Morford, 43, of Saratoga Springs, Utah, has been charged with one count of terroristic threatening, a second degree felony.

She is claimed to have made the concerning comments to a receptionist during a recorded phone call after 2pm on August 29, Fox6Now reported.

The receptionist said Morford became angry after being told she would need to rearrange her two kids' appointments.

It's alleged that she said: 'Gun people come in and they shoot everybody.

'I’ll be there next Tuesday at 2, and if we are five minutes late and you guys make us reschedule, then I will come in and KILL EVERYBODY.

'That’s what I’ll do... Well, I might this afternoon, because I’m super angry, so watch out.’

Utah County Sheriff's Office, who did not reveal the name of the dentist's office, escorted several worried employees offsite to their vehicles.

#7  Communication of the threat is assault. Consummation of that threat is battery.

If you are convicted of both assault AND battery, do they throw you in a dry cell?
(looks around) What?

#4  I know a couple people who make it their habit to belittle and jerk around restaurant employees. The only reason I sit at the same table with them is the perverse satisfaction I get from watching them scarf a plate of food that has almost surely been spit on after they sent it back twice.

#3  Besides, you must never exhibit your inner asshole to a caregiver, food server, cop or any person you will shortly be in the hands of, your disgusting gob helplessly open and an electric drill in their hand.

#2  What was that old piece of advice? "Never be overheard saying you will kill somebody, because if they are killed guess who the cops are going to look at? Don't joke about bombs in the airport?" And yet, we read about people doing just that every day.

#1  Dentist offices tend to be places of terror. Dental drills, grinding, touching sensitive nerves; white knuckle affairs.
