I think the guy who posted first on Twitter should be charged , not sure with terrorism but charges should be laid. Also I'm not sure 30 years is justified , the punishment out weighs the crime far too much. I'd say five years tops with a huge fine.

As for the others who re-tweeted. They were simply reporting a story they had read. Sending them to jail is totally immoral as they had no idea the info was false. They were trying to inform people like good citizens!

He caused large scale chaos and havok. I'm sure that warrants for more than 5 years.

I dunno he probably had no intention of causing so much chaos. Probably didn't realize just how far it would go. I agree he deserves jail time and a very big fine. But I don't think more then four years should be warranted. its like when somebody calls in a bomb threat, they cause extreme chaos but they don't go to jail for 30 years.

Also they should investigate further into why he did what he did, if he intended to cause chaos and destruction then he should be charged differently then if it was a joke gone wrong or just a stupid decision that the user didn't expect to snow ball.

I think 5 years is reasonable for the offence. But I'm not a judge I guess it will be up to the Mexican courts. However in Canada I don't think he would get more then five years. So I don't really believe he should in Mexico either, they are way harsher on light crimes!
