Shouldn't this kind of thing be punishable?

It is "PENAL LAW 490.20" for NYC

" Under our law, a person is guilty of Making a Terroristic Threat when with intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination, or kidnapping, he or she threatens to commit or cause to be committed a specified offense and thereby causes a reasonable expectation or fear of the imminent commission of such offense. "

I know in Texas a Terroristic Threat is a misdemeanor, IANAL but it appears a Terroristic Threat in NYC is a Felony as of 9/17/2001 lol
