Seems to me that 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/concurrency/threadPrimitiveDeprecation.html
explains it rather well.

I found it fast via
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Java+dangers+of+Thread.stop

You've cited part of this, presumably from the Javadocs:
"This method is inherently unsafe. Stopping a thread with Thread.stop causes it to unlock all of the 
monitors that it has locked (as a natural consequence of the unchecked ThreadDeath exception 
propagating up the stack). If any of the objects previously protected by these monitors were in an 
inconsistent state, the damaged objects become visible to other threads, potentially resulting in 
arbitrary behavior."

I'm not sure what else you need to know here. This is both normative and complete.
