but we aren’t monitoring mosques.
The level of prosecutorial overreach in recent years has become truly frightening.
Yes they are serious. They are seriously foolish.
Hasty law making makes for bad law. These laws are written in the wake of tragedy when law makers feel the pressure to do something to prevent future tragedies even though such laws have no chance of preventing future tragedy.
Such laws scoop up and punish the innocent much more often than they prevent real monsters from committing horrendous acts because real monsters typically live in the shadows were busy bodies like the Canadian woman never go.
now with PRISM we can find and jail anyone that posts sarcastic, joking, bragging, exaggerating, angry, or misunderstood comments anywhere!
He is still entitled to bail and a jury trial.
Well, a statement like that really does need to be investigated. So send a couple of cops over to the kid's house, and talk to him. But jail him? No way.
So THAT kind of “making terroristic threats” in social media gets you several years in jail.
Making THIS kind of terroristic threat in social media, however, is apparently A-OK:
“‘Ima kill me a cracka’: Death threats against George Zimmerman, random white people explode during trial”
Now that we have thought police like the Communist Empires, it is unwise to speak to others your thoughts. They can be taken out of context, and will be used against you when ever possible. No logic applies to dictators, they like to hurt people and exercise power, the more unjust it is the better for their egos. That is why God made a hell.
But if he had actually gone through with it, imagine the uproar because the threat was ignored.
Meanwhile, if the psychotic neighbor threatens to kill your children and burn your home, the police response remains, “There’s nothing we can do.”
Nothing funny or sarcastic about that.
Ask any teacher.
Ask any parent.
“only two months after the Sandy Hook school massacre “
-
So it would be acceptable in 6 months or a year?
The young man was insensitive but jail? No.

Here we go- epople beign arrested for postign on the internet- swell- wonder how hte prosecution is goign to prove that he was serious?
exactly- muslims can call for death to jews, death to americans, but a kid makes a joke and all of a sudden he’s a hardeened criminal?- I hope to hel the kid’s lawyer asks the judge why a kid’s joke is ‘more srious’ than the actual direct intentional threats by clrics in mosques
