Right when you start DOING things.
That'd be at "Hire my assistants", assuming you were up-front about what you were hiring them for.
Be careful what you wish for. You're posting a question on the internet that could be construed as cunningly concealed terrorist research.

Does this constitute "doing something"?
According to investigators, Deutsch threatened to hurt that student -- a longtime friend -- if he refused to participate in the shootings.
A good friend will come and bail you out of jail ... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"

Not in my book.
If (at the age of 16 or so) a friend of mine had offered to hurt me if I didn't go along with some hare-brained scheme or other involving WERLD DOMINATION, I'd have been inclined to advise them that such behaviour is deserving of a swift kick in the slats.

So, in your world...
...a threat doesn't constitute "doing something"?

Let's temper this with pragmatism, eh?
This ridiculous "zero tolerance" approach is the same thing that gets children excluded from school for [link|http://www.sptimes.com/News/051101/TampaBay/Student_removed_from_.shtml|drawing guns on paper].
Are we there yet?

I agree with you, that one was ridiculous.
Drawing a picture of a weapon does not constitute a threat.
Drawing up detailed plans and trying to get help to carry out threat, does. imho

Unfortunately, in my world, my fingers don't live in the same world as does my brain....
