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?
