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.

A small fine? Are you being serious? I really hope you do not live in the US, because if you do it should be obvious to you that this kid should be GIVEN a large settlement for the government infringing on his rights. We have free speech here, it means we can say things others do not like, thats kind of the point. If free speech only protected speech that we all liked it would be pointless. This was obvisouly not a threat, there was no chance of harm like someone yelling "fire" in a crowded room, this is simply big brother being big brother.

My god the fact that there are this many people voting that the kid got what was coming to him is really making me lose faith in the posters in this site.
