Only if you’re a liberal is it ok to talk stupid, expected in reality.
Why isn’t this kid out on bail ?
I'm currently on bail facing felony "stalking" charges in TX for sending a few joke emails to a former employer who fired me under questionable circumstances.
There were no threats, or words even in the email or I would be in a worse position.
It was a few tasteless pictures (non pornographic or violent, but crude).
Because, along with trumped up charges. Bail amounts have gone up to ridiculous levels.
I'm guessing the bail amount was well north of the six figures I was facing for a lesser charge.
I went back to the article and saw his bail was 500,000 which is absurd....the judge should be horsewhipped....
If you can’t do the time . . . . Don’t do the crime. . . .
And all over Facebook and Twitter the Moron Class is promising to riot and kill people if George Zimmerman is acquitted. Why isn’t the Gestapo going after them?
Shouldn’t one take into to consideration the issue of intent? He did act foolish, but how many of us when we were 18-years-old said something we regret. Hopefully, none of us got sent to prison for talking stupid at that time.
democrats have a first amendment right to lie, but everybody else has to suit the democrats
I remember when America, the whole country, followed the Eighth Suggestion: "Excessive bail shall not be required". I miss the rule of law.
Get a lawyer and sue.
3 months and still no trial, this is not right.
You are the ideal police-state drone.
Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against—then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. 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 it 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 lawbreakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system
Written in 1957 about the future of the US, by a Russian woman. Hmm.
It’s the government idiots who should all be in prison. the IRS morons, Obama, the Congress, the TSA, the EPA etc all should be in prison. American citizens who have freedom of speech to write what they want to on the Internet should not be put in prison by big brother gov idiot criminals
Were you born a fool or did you have to work your way up to it?
According to the article: The young man's father explained that while playing a video game, “Someone had said something to the effect of 'Oh you're insane, you're crazy, you're messed up in the head,’” he called, “to which he replied 'Oh yeah, I'm real messed up in the head, I'm going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts.’”
My guess is that the authorities want to make absolutely certain the boy was joking before unleashing him on society ... and they probably want to drive the point home that certain subjects do not lend themselves to gallows humor.
He made a sarcastic remark. Poorly phrased. But that should have been obvious. There still is a 1st amendment isn’t there?
If he didn't have inclination to violence before, he might well have by the time he gets out of jail.
What does that mean?
3 mos before trial for.... nada?
