wow this stuff is nuts!

Nuts indeed. I think my whole point would be that authorities tend to take any mention of shooting up a school, joking or not, pretty seriously these days. The advice here would be don't fuck around yapping about bombs while at the airport, and don't publicly joke about what this yahoo joked about, because they will come get you, and rightly so.

Free speech is nice and all, but it's never been unlimited. There has for a long time been for example 'don't yell "fire" in a crowded theatre' laws in place, and this here in a way falls right in line with that. Don't agree? Well, tough. You'd have a point if school shootings were purely a thing of fiction, found only in horror stories and comics and such. Then we're all free to "joke" all we want. But sadly they've become all too real, and people have become a tad sensitive about it. Gee I wonder why?

I used to play (xbox live) with my x fiance I've had 3 year olds cuss me out , people saying really rude things etc.. etc.. seems to me that they are just making an example of this boy, seems like someone really over-reacted in this case imho

Shut the fuck up moron.

Every joke is a joke. He said that he is just kidding. Still didn't get it?

Just saw it on news. They want to offer him 8 years in prison deal.

poor kid

Great thread title USA hater...
Why you hating so much?

Yikes makes me wonder how then they would react where one open source counterstrike clone have teams named hezbolah and al'qaida.

Its thoughts like this is the reason we loose our rights.

Have the same question indeed :2 cents:

No comment.

It's thought crime, seeing more and more of this in the UK. People make stupid comments on Twitter, Facebook, any public platform and they end of with a prison sentence.

Here is a good article about it

done. unfuckingbelievable this kid is in jail :Oh crap

holy fucking shit, you *have* to be trolling. They looked into it - no genuine threat - so what is he exactly in jail for now? A bad taste joke - all jokes are in bad taste to someone :2 cents:

You agree with him being in prison? I'm fucking stunned... 18 years old may be an 'adult' in physical terms, but if you think you knew at 18 what you know now, acted at 18 how you act now, or do anything now that has the same thought processes and life experiences as you had at 18, you're the one who should be locked up for being the world's biggest asshole :2 cents:

he's a biker :upsidedow:upsidedow:thumbsup:1orglaugh

christ, wtf is wrong with people lol. It was a joke, intended as a joke, with lol and jk typed immediately after. Of course it negates the so-called 'wrongdoing'. Have people really lost the ability to differentiate between jokes, threats, and genuine threats?

Holy mother of fuck, this thread has absolutely blown me away :Oh crap

Seems so.
