Wait what? Jail for a Facebook post?

 

IT'S CALLED A THREAT AND YES THAT'S ILLEGAL.

It's not like he held a gun to his temple. Show me a single threat on the internet that is not empty as fuck. Poeple say lots of things on the internet.

The magic word is context and nuance. Law isn't black and white.

That's why downloading an illegal MP3 isn't the same as conducting an armed robbery of a record store.

Its only empty until is legit right?

So next time the news reports about a murder ... and the threats he made prior that no one acted upon... you'd be the first to sympathize with people for not acting?
