I suggest playing it safe and not making comments like that. People are a little touchy about killing kids.

Could be worse. People in the UK have been getting arrested just for making racist comments on the internet.

lol, and yet every call of duty game is filled with racist 13 year olds wanting to have sex with my mum

Jail them!! :/

I'm afraid the truth is closer than you think it is...


That kid is a weirdo. Having sex with a dead person... I'm strongly opposed to that.

Anyhow, that video is irrelevant to his comment. I mean he's just pointing out trash talk, which are generally not threats. But that video is a story about murder, incest, and necrophilia.

When you can't joke about murdering school children, everything they worked for is lost.

People voting that he deserves it, what?
This is bullshit. I hope for the best for him.


I'll be honest I voted yes although I feel the punishment was a bit too much. The authorities jumped into it too much and rather than investigating and seeing who the suspect was they just threw him into jail and is thinking about a 8 year prison service which is EXTREME.

 

A small fine amount would of been sufficient. But the kid saying that was in the wrong though especially with what has been happening in the US lately.

I wonder if you have ever made a single threat in all your time online. its a kid, and he put lol, jk at the end. are we no longer allowed any free speech?

What I want to know is why would you put your real address on Facebook... After all those security problems. Whoever did the search wouldn't of known where he was then.

it sounds like she saw the comment on facebook, and than later searched google for his address. you would be suprised what kind of info is all over the palce. I dont think she got his address from facebook though.

I agree about making responsible and sensible comments and If the authorities are just making this as a lesson for the kid, like that "Beyond Scared Straight" reality TV show then I got no problem with it but if they go through and try to prosecute the kid. Then all I can say is "my goodness". There are a lot of real criminals in Wall Street (that they call legal) that has done irrepairable damage, that affected millions of ordinary people in a very bad way.

Oh yeah I forgot about that racist=arrest thing in the UK.



In the US you can go to prison for not doing anything.....thats how bad the laws are here.



That's... pretty sad and hilarious at the same time.
