A 21-year-old man who admitted posting online threats against the creators of the animated TV series "South Park" was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison.

...

Chesser admitted to posting online threats against the "South Park" creators due to a depiction of the Prophet Mohammed. He also admitted that he tried to go to Somalia to join Al-Shabaab, an Islamic militant group that the United States considers a terrorist organization.

I always thought it would be a good counter-terrorism tactic to do something "offensive" as bait and pick off the rats as they crawled out of the woodwork.

At a minimum, instead of just giving witness protection, which they don't do most of the time anyway, the FBI should lie in wait for those intending to attack "blasphemers".

This is stupid. No way this guy deserved 25 years. Taxpayers have to pay for him and murderers get less time in jail. Are celebs a special protected class? Idiocy.

So now he has 25 years to pollute and agitate other prisoners while we pay his board. (Unless he pisses the wrong guy off)

agree. Threaten parker or stone and you should be shot or hung. Or some combination of the two.

I'm guessing the length of sentence was based more on this:

He also admitted that he tried to go to Somalia to join Al-Shabaab, an Islamic militant group that the United States considers a terrorist organization.
The "South Park" threats are just a reporting "angle".

I disagree. I'm inclined to believe our PC powers that be are actually signifying that prophet-defamation is far worse. Johnny Walker Red (Lindh) got 5 years less for actually joining up and taking arms against America....

Oh I thought based on that in Hussein’s IslamoAmerica that he would get a cabinet or czar gig.

The one who threated Bush will be made the head of border patrol or will become a czar. Just as long as RINO Rick Perry doesn’t mess up his hair worrying his pretty little head about the border.

LOL! Dude - you are assuming he has a brain. Based on the photo - another product of public schools.

My graduation picture sucked but at least I had a glimmer in my eyes. Maybe that had to do with having Reagan as President. ;-) Life was good.

Moral of the story if you’re going to do something do it, but don’t make threats about it. He’d get less time for assault, and the average murderer spends just under 8 years in prison.

Agreed. Do hollywood tv show billionaires have special rights over the peons? This kid is a dumb islam wannabe puke but threatening two cartoonist and getting 25 years is BS.
As far as billionaires - my guess is the show has been on for 8 + years so when they go into syndication (it may have already happened) they will be mega wealthy(er).

And to think that there are many of them right here among us hiding in their ratholes waiting for a pre-determined call for jihad.

And to think that there are plenty among us who either don’t care or who still think that Islam is a ROP.

South Park has been on for 14 years, and it is in syndication. Although, I don’t know how much Stone and Parker get and how much Comedy Central gets out of the syndication deal. I’m guessing that if not in the billions, then in the 100’s of millions.
