hey read his Facebook site. Real hard.

Not sure that by merely reading his site on Facebook that they would have the information you suggest. It is not as easy as that. You are also assuming that he would permit others access to personal information.

Still not buying it.

I found this which had more details than the link you posted :”

The indictment cites the alleged threat by Carter “to shoot up a kindergarten, watch the blood rain down and eat the beating heart out of one of them,” according to the report.
“What I said was terrible, mean and downright stupid,” Carter reportedly wrote in a jailhouse letter to a judge. “The misunderstanding was that I wasn't trying to scare anyone, I was trying to be witty and sarcastic. I failed and I was arrested.”

Not very bright.

It is the worst kept secret in the country that prison management uses rape as a tool. It is a national scandal.

You're right, and it's no laughing matter. It's a phenomenon which produces profound ripple effects when these victims are released. The rage that manifests itself is horrible.

[Nachum]

I certainly hope that the so-called ‘Texan’ judge never has a good night’s sleep for the rest of his craven life. A few serious beatings in the street wouldn’t go amiss either.

Wouldn't be the first King-Sh*t cop of a judge to abuse others under the color of authority.

In this case, yeah. It's another instance of local authorities going off the deep end.

Do you recall the mandatory memo delivered to many towns across the US straight from DC, "If you see something, say something"? Or DHS's leaked memo that BY IDENTITY that single out conservatives as "terrorists"?

Don't think local and state officials haven't been encouraged in fedguv memos to "go off the deep end" with impunity. OR having even been seduced with possible rewards.

This kind of "off the deep end" LE behavior and attitude has become epidemic. You believe its a coincidence; I don't.

[Nachum]

I did read that. No, he was very stupid, but the judge went too far. Now the kid is scarred for life. What’s worse, the stupid kid who made idiotic comments on gaming sites, or the beaten, raped, former felon coming out of prison afterward?

[USS Johnston]

Bears repeating.

Then maybe you ought to look into it. He posted some idiotic comments about shooting up a kindergarden on his Facebook site. Some twit in Canada, of all places, came across it and, after Googling his name and finding out he lived near a school, called the New Braunfels Police and reported it. The cops freely admit that's how they found out about it. Anyway, they went and got a search warrant and a week later they arrested him. The local cops arrested him and the local judge set the bail. No grand, sinister conspiracy, just a Keystone Kops aspect to all of this that makes one want to shake their head.

While no-one deserves being beaten up by other prisoners this one deserves the Darwin award for missing a few links.

see #42

Facebook seems to be a popular place for morons to incriminate themselves.

I guess I'm just not blessed with your imagination.

Maybe. But how many times do things like this have to occur before it ceases being just the "Keystone Kops".

[0.E.O]

Not very bright.

To put it mildly.

[Xenophon450]

We thought he had the possibility of committing the crime in question, so we threw him in to get beaten and raped just for safe measure.

This judge is a complete and utter tool.

[USS Johnston]

Wouldn't be the first King-Sh*t cop of a judge to abuse others under the color of authority.

PROBLEM: It's become observably epidemic. BY DESIGN. Coincidentally within the last few years.

State and local governance and its respective enforcement wings (under the color of authority) have apparently been delivered memos from DHS that encourage "GUILTY BEFORE PROVEN INNOCENT." When THEY "see something" they indeed "do something" -- that is, abuse Constitutional Rights.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Deniability.

We all know who’s done it, but oops, can’t say anything about it.

[0.E.O]

Maybe. But how many times do things like this have to occur before it ceases being just the "Keystone Kops".

Beats me.

[USS Johnston]

I guess I'm just not blessed with your imagination.

Nor I with your quaint naivete.

[0.E.O]

If you say so.

-and yet Alec Baldwin-who personally threatened a hate crime protected homosexual- is a free man after a simple mea culpa...

-yes, it was a stupid thing to say, but this punishment is equally stupid....simply amazing what has happened to “our” courts and LEOs.

It is sickening and I’m sure similar things have been said about Tea Party people, Conservatives etc...

..but THAT is different.

[sickoflibs]

RE :”It is sickening and I’m sure similar things have been said about Tea Party people, Conservatives etc...”

threatening to kill Kindergarteners is not going to earn him much sympathy easpecially now, beyond from a few here I guess. He has no constitutional right to do this.

Maybe the other morons will learn from this case NOT TO DO that, and this will not happen again.

I hear that criminals in jail are tough on child molesters too. They dont like that child abuse stuff.
