Look, a man holding a bomb says "I am going to blow you all up with this bomb!"

Is worse than a man holding a sandwich and saying "I am going to blow you all up with this sandwich!"

When there are degrees of damage those degrees count.

Plus in the eyes of the law its about "INTENT"

So with Perez what was his true Intent? well if we are adult and honest we can say it was something said in anger with out any real weight behind it. It was also a selection of words used a foul language substitute. So Perez said I am going to shove my fist down your throat. Do we take that as literal act he will carry out? no of course not.

So the facts are Perez said something in a rage and in the diary the fact he took it all as a joke shows his true intent which was one of banter in a heated argument and no more.
