Is it illegal to wish death/harm/destruction upon a person?

Orange Juice 935

I won't get into details but because of an accident at my college and how they handled it I got extremely angry.

In a fit of rage, i got all the student email's and sent an open letter. I essentially wished death upon the principal because of the way they handled the accident, and that I hoped that the college burned down.

They eventually contacted me (like a week later on the day I left the country) saying they were contemplating legal action against me.

So is what I did illegal, under Irish law?

Edit 1;
Since people would like to know

I tried to kill myself
They broke their own terms of service when they didn't inform me of my right to have a third party with me when i spoke with the principal alone
The response by the principal was to remove me from the college group, even though I didn't even post anything on it. Because of this i almost killed myself again.
They informed my mother when i gave them no permission to (I'm 18)
With all of this I had to leave for New Zealand

Yes i am getting counseling

Edit 2;
With the recommendation of some, I have decided to put this behind me and focus on getting help.

You're not giving us nearly enough to work with.

What was the nature of the accident, did you just say that you hope something happens to the guy or did you say something was going to happen?

OP, I’d perhaps advise you to see a counseller. That behaviour is abnormal and worrying, even if it was an “angry fit”.

To go to the effort of getting students emails to tell them you want to burn down the school and murder the principle.

It may be viewed by them as a threat, which would come under the NON-FATAL OFFENCES AGAINST THE PERSON ACT, 1997

What was the nature of the accident/their mishandling? Depending on what occured you might be able to claims such assertions were made under duress

I looked back on OP’s previous posts.

He claims in one post a few months back that “his brother” (which actually means himself) wants to hang the principle. Jaysus...

:eek:

Jaysus thats a little out of order?

Sounds like someone needs a little assistance.

He did say he left the country though?... perhaps better to cool down hopefully somewhere like Switzerland?

I’d say that’s lies now. Most of his posts are about the leaving cert and his principle so i think he’s only a young lad still, a dangerous one at that

Apologise and go for a run or something the next time you’re becoming hysterical. This will blow over if you do that.

Good, now do ME a favour. Stop thinking about harming yourself and stop obsessing over this crap. It aint worth it.

Obviously when young there are lots of stupid things that drive us all crazy and you want to prove a point to those who think they did you wrong. Let it go.

There is one thing in this life that is important, LIFE.

You are important, your family, your friends and eventually your relationship(s).

Think about it... where will you be in 30 years, if you hurt yourself, just think about all those countries you have missed out on seeing, think of the friends you will have made, the life you will live. Got it?

I dropped out in 5th year,

My brother is stupid, the rule was removed after student backlash, even some of the teachers agreed.

What 'rule' was removed? It seems like you're giving us half the story chara.

Regardless, I do think you need to chill out. As a previous poster said try running. I boxed for a few years and found running a great way to clear the head.

This nauseating Liberal crap where you can't be happy unless you spend your 20's bagpacking around the Alps would give an aspirin a headache zzz

That tripe drives me mad. What happened to going out for a few drinks with your mates watching the match or something? NO! You have to go bagpacking in Thailand and the like

Jaysus, I didn't think supermarkets were the main stay of employment opportunities when backpacking around the alps????

Do Tesco or Migros (swiss) pay well?..;)

Ohh. Well now that's really put me in my place hasn't it?

I've spent years travelling here there and everywhere. Out of necessity. Work reasons. While my family have struggled back home. Im Irish and am proud to be.

I'd rather live and work where I'm from because I've been there and love my country and I'm a man of the people.

So spare me the Liberal 'oh travel and expand your mind' crap. I've seen it from both sides.

If you actually read through the thread it looks as if the OP would be far better being surrounded by family for a while and at home. Well, to me that's how it looks.

Instead we've Liberal no borders twats saying he needs to go bagpacking around the middle east to find himself.

Any normal person reading this can see that's a disaster waiting to happen.

Do they have his interests at heart?

Still trying to figure out when grocery shopping became the first must do thing for backpackers??? hmmm

Liberal loses his nerve and starts repeating his own crap over and over again, without addressing a single point that was put to him. God I've never seen anything like that before 🀔 🀔

Hahaahha brilliant but true. OP is a prime example of what’s wrong with today’s society, particularly the youth and their liberal looney mindset. The principle kicks you out of some college group and all of a sudden you want to kill yourself or move to New Zealand. Give me a f*king break

Jaysus Lads I'd say yee are great fun to be with in a pub on a night out..;)

Liberal disects my point by pointing out that I said bag instead of back. I guess that's my argument null and void.

Liberalism is just belief in the rights of individuals.

I personally am very much liberal, and I share your dislike of activities like backpacking around to find yourself - which boil down to self obsession.
