I'm a bit concerned that 'wishing' of 'hoping' someone is killed or raped appears to be a considered illegal. Without any direct threat.

But then it's kind of like a thought crime. 'I hope you get cancer' or 'I hope you die in a plane crash' can't be threatening surely, as they are things over which the sender has no control.
'I hope you get stabbed/raped' is maybe threatening, because it implies the sender might like to do something about it.

It's interesting* to think about what could be used to properly give someone cancer with in a single hit, instead of just increasing the chance of cancer over a long period.
Lots of people think that South American leaders getting cancer is the work of the CIA.
