THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL MONDAY NIGHT VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO MAKE THREATS AGAINST SCHOOLS AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES ILLEGAL. THOSE ARE CURRENTLY MISDEMEANOR CRIMES. IT’S HOPE THE ORDINANCE WILL HELP PUT AN END TO A RECENT RISE IN SUCH THREATS, ESPECIALLY AGAINST SCHOOLS.
THE LEGISLATION IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILOR PAT DAVIS AND INCLUDES LANGUAGE REFERENCING SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS USED TO MAKE THREATS.
