“What? Terror charges for blowing up a virtual building?”

Nope. Read the article. It is fairly short.

“What? Terror charges for blowing up a virtual building?”

Nope. Read the article. It is fairly short.

and:

“It’s a whole other level to convict someone for attacking a fake building in a video game.”

Is it too much to ask one to read the article before believing the click-bait headline?

Alrighty, then:

" A Russian teenager was sent to prison on Thursday for supposedly "training" for terrorist activities and other charges that included blowing up a virtual government intelligence building on the video game Minecraft.

and at the linked source for sentencing:

"A court in Siberia has sentenced a 16-year-old boy to five years in prison in a high-profile terrorism case prompted by plans he had with two friends to add the building of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) to the popular video game Minecraft to allow players to blow it up."

It must be your water. Or maybe encephalitis from the fecal contamination having entered your ears.
