Western countries are taking this too far. Isn't it enough that they watch every move you do on the internet now you can't make a sarcastic joke?

welcome to internet dictatorship.
It is just sick. You ruin a kid's future just because of a joke??
I don't really believe that its okay in any instance to say your going to shoot up a school. Personally I agree with them but then again I don't. But then I think about the fact he's using Facebook to argue and say shit like that expect authority. No one wants to hear someone say there going to shoot up a school then eat thier still beating hearts joke or not that joke would have never been in my head lol.
Its not ruined his future because he'll get off lol. More than likeley atleast I hope the kid does but I hope he learned a lesson because its a very adolesent thing to say.Quote:

Even though if he was serious about it they should take him to a mental hospital and help him rather than jailing him because it will set an example for the people who have the same issue and they will seek for help.Quote:

Happens .. good lesson for him , what NOT to say next time.
Someone from our city also has the same incident but more fucked up, because the person really got killed by saying a single comment " wew " on facebook. Oh well, I guess it is life.

So fucking stupid. People are way too uptight nowadays, and the internet is becoming more of a place for prosecution, not an exchange of ideas.
Political correctness has got out of hand... stupid comment aye, but that's why you report the comment to Facebook/contact the parents if you're that uptight. And now some uptight woman has ruined this young boy's future prospects because of a sarcastic remark. What amazes me is a jury agreed with the prosecution and didn't see the sarcasm in it.
Only in america!
Considering in the UK you can get arrested for "racist" comments onlines, it's not just Murica'Quote:

Great to know what tax dollars are spent on.
Pursuing sarcastic online comments costing the justice system thousands of dollars in the process...
This is why I believe the united states is full of retarded people.
This can only happen there and these idiocracies keep happening over and over.
