LoL Player Jailed for Sarcastic Comment ― Facing Long Prison Sentence!!

[Tezuni]

A LoL player arguing with his teammate on facebook was jailed in march for his comments, which were followed by "lol" and "jk" in case nobody noticed the sarcasm. 

I guess the FBI didn't care about that, since he's been jailed for months now.  The internet is serious business!

The charges are 'terroristic threatening', and if convicted he faces up to 8 years in prison.

Oh yeah, I’m real messed up in the head, I’m going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts,”

A spokesman for Austin police said that after recent events statements such as the one Justin made are taken seriously.

Cant help but reading that as "Some other unrelated people did some bullshit, so we decided to imprison people at random"

America, the land of the free xD top kek
Well at least Americans aren't too busy promoting gay rights instead of trying to stop becoming a full scale police state. Awesome.

But yeah after all the crazy shit that happen I guess the FBI has some rights too be paranoid but I don't think they should be paranoid to an extent.

After all this surveillance scandal, whistleblowers, all those illegal wars that have destroyed most of the middle east and pretty much made the entire generations in there to hate America and other shit like Guantanamo bay, I think they have a lot to be paranoid about.

Did you get an 8 year sentence too?

Things like this bother me greatly. The eight year sentence is bullshit for something he didn't even threaten to do. He didn't threaten any person nor group, and he retracted the statement while making it. If someone is imprisoned for eight years due to making some silly comment, its not a huge stretch to get life for saying a government official ought to be removed from his position, since that can be twisted into a direct threat and conspiracy to assassinate a government official by the same legal loon that decided the kid is plotting to commit mass murder solely off that statement.
