The recipe for thermite is common knowledge among most veterans and even a lot of civilians. No need to even look for it on the web. Just ask around. You probably know 2 or 3 people who know how to make it whether you know that they know it or not.
It's always true given the context. In your example, you could be charged with criminally negligent homicide or reckless behavior. After all, you had no intent to cause harm, but you knew full well the recipe you gave could be used for harm.
You don't sound sure
You forgot the most important piece of this equation. (Assuming the crime isn't tax evasion.)
Wow, you make a lot of assumptions.
I worked with magnesium in the military. That's some bad ass stuff right there.
Nah. I mean back it up on a thumb drive and keep it and a spare phone, radios and other electronics in a metal garbage can. Emp won't hurt it. You can recharge it with solar.
Totally different man.
I have some Ansen magnesium rims from my fathers drag racing days from the 60s/70s. There junk cause when I was a teen and found out about magnesium I scraped and sanded the shit out of them to burn the metal. Stupid, they'd be worth some coin now to a restorer.
LOL, yes I have. Nasty fevers. And easily avoided my friend, if you know how. Where I live, not an issue. But where I live sometimes, very much an issue. Again, electricity is not so hard to live without outside the city. Especially in less developed societies where the tractor is a water buffalo. The human gut can survive on almost anything. You do know that billions of people live day to day lives without electricity right? Well, they may have limited community access, but billions live without electricity having an effect on their immediate survival. Predominately white countries would be the only ones truly crippled. Would make for a very interesting future as South America, Africa, and SE Asia would overnight have the stronger economies....
Yea. They would be worth some money.
Your sole intent in giving it was destruction. We are not presently in any shape where anybody has a use for thermite, other than knocking over a Brinks truck or breaking into a vault. If you seriously believe that spewing a bunch of information like that is defensible because you only shared it for a doomsday scenario that has no basis in reality, then you're delusional.
If you knew your friend was a disturbed person and/or had a history of violence, yes. You could be found culpable. If he had my record (which is non-existant) and went off the deep end and did something nobody could have foreseen, no. Absolutely not.
I'm not the source for one and two I don't believe that simply posting the recipe would result in a conviction.
As I mentioned earlier, this "recipe" is so much common knowledge, that anyone could have learned the recipe from several people and checked and cross checked it by comparison with many individuals.
You could be found guilty of negligent homicide.
What we have is an argument of law. I see both sides of it.
Apparently.
