I was curious what kind of punishment gets handed to folks that exhibit this kind of behavior….

This is c/p from the link in the OP;

The charges come less than a year after Durkan’s office filed charges against a Selah man accused of leaving threatening messages at the office of U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. The man accused in that case, 64-year-old Charles Wilson, was sentenced to one year in federal prison and remains at the Federal Detention Center at SeaTac.

In sentencing Wilson, U.S. District Court Judge John C. Coughenour described the Eastern Washington man’s actions as terrorism and Wilson, by extension, as a terrorist.

snip…

U.S. Magistrate Judge David Bristow set Habermann’s bail at $300,000 and ordered he be placed on home detention if released, according to The Associated Press. He is expected to appear before a federal judge in Washington on Jan. 25.

Facing a maximum term of 10 years in prison, Habermann could be released from federal detention as early as Thursday.

Anybody know what 10 year max translates to in reality?
