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.

 

Actually the law IS BLACK AND WHITE. Who cares if its empty? It might not be. A threat is illegal and nobody is going to consider whethet it wass empty. You do something illegal and you get locked up period.
