Grisly new details emerged in the story of the ongoing imprisonment of Justin Carter, who racked up months in jail for making sarcastic, violent threats after playing an online video game.
Carter has been beaten up multiple times while in jail in Comal County, Texas, according to NPR. He is now on suicide watch.
“This was his first incarceration, his first charge, and without getting into the really nasty details, he has had concussions, he has had black eyes,” said Jack Carter, Justin’s father, in a statement.
Carter is one of two teenagers imprisoned for months for the crime of making off-color, threatening comments over the internet in response to a video game. Josh Pillault has been imprisoned for even longer–since last October. He recently pled guilty to the charges against him out of fear that fighting them would result in a lengthier sentence.

Way back in the day when I played WOW for a little while, I could have put half the people on my server in jail apparently.
This is truly frightening.
without getting into the really nasty details,
We all know that that means. What is this Turkey?
The Cops should get back to their day job:
Collecting Revenue for the Welfare State from innocent citizens attempting to go about their day.
Sure is !! These kids have been put in prison - for months - for a speech crime.
Their lawyer should have got them out within hours.
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of law-breakers—and then you cash in on guilt."
-- Dr. Ferris in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

The Stazi has decide to make an example of this kid and they don’t care if they ruin his life or not.
It is the worst kept secret in the country that prison management uses rape as a tool. It is a national scandal.
Teenagers get raped in prison. No wonder he's suicidal.
This isn’t the federal government doing it, it’s Texas law enforcement and a Texas judge.
Thank you for posting that. There are many detractors of Ayn Rand on this website, but one cannot argue with her perception decades ago of where things were going.
I was looking for that quote just the other night, so I am glad you posted it.
Their lawyer should have got them out within hours.
MEMO: The 1st Amendment sometimes applies. Some say it it dead -- along with the 4th Amendment.
MEMO II: The 0dunga Regime has declared war upon the US Constitution, and thus We The People. Congress' silence on the matter is beyond disturbing.
MEMO III: Chances are their attorney was himself intimidated and threatened.
I wonder if the adolescents are smart enough to realize that this is Barack Obama making an example out of one of them? Isn’t he so cool kiddies, the way he abuses the law to terrorize people?
Are you suggesting the 0dunga Regime lacks the tentacles to influence this case or other States'-Authority issues?
And how did they track down the kid?
Or do they simply ignore it?
The prison is now a Four Seasons Hotel. Go figure...
Is this a joke?!?!
What could he have possibly said? Has the exact content been made known? I'd like to know what the judge is getting out of this. Absolutely incredible.
