Charges dropped against Black Panthers

You can read the story on Fox News about this incident during the election if you're not familiar.

Quote:
A spokesman for the Department of Justice told FOX News, "The Justice Department was successful in obtaining an injunction that prohibits the defendant who brandished a weapon outside a Philadelphia polling place from doing so again. Claims were dismissed against the other defendants based on a careful assessment of the facts and the law. The department is committed to the vigorous prosecution of those who intimidate, threaten or coerce anyone exercising his or her sacred right to vote."

I was just wondering...

Does this mean that if I intimidate people with the threat of force I can expect to be told "Not to do it again" and then go my merry way?
