Criminal Activities
Arson
Intentionally setting fire to a building or structure (arson) or otherwise willfully destroying property by fire. Under U.S. law arson is a felony in most jurisdictions.
Situation:
"Early in the episode one character says, 'I wish we hadn't burned down our rent-controlled apartment,' which is an admission that the characters (spoken of as 'we') intentionally set fire to their previous apartment."
Criminal Threats
Knowingly making a threat to commit a violent act against another person (words or gestures that place a reasonable person in fear of imminent physical harm) can constitute a criminal threat or assault in U.S. jurisdictions. Simple verbal threats that place a victim in reasonable fear may be charged as misdemeanor assault or as a separate criminal-threats offense depending on the jurisdiction.
Situation:
"Dennis says, in the context of road rage: 'Gonna show up to work, have everybody be like, "Why is there blood all over you?" 'Cause I had to slit the guy's throat who causes all the traffic!' — an explicit verbal threat to kill a person who annoys him in traffic."
