Texas Teen Could Go to Prison for 8 Years because of Sarcastic Remark on League of Legends

[pepperjackchees]

I don't even care. He shouldn't have said that. 

 

[blacklion23]

He shouldn't be in jail or have to go to jail. But seriously who the hell says "I’m going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts,’.. even if you are joking that's still a sick *** thing to say.

I don't know man, it's not too far from some of the stuff NTers say when being sarcastic. I can see some dudes on here saying something like that, as a sarcastic remark, after being called crazy. You see some the mess dudes post when beasting over these chicks, lol.

 

[wigsplitter23]

I see how what he said was wrong but if they wanted to scare him they should have just given him community service. Putting him in jail for even a day is exaggerated.
 

 

[sooperhooper]

I guarantee eminem and bizarre, along with hundreds of other rappers have said things ten times worse with no lol j/k. Government is a joke sometime. Overly sensitive about the wrong things, and allowing the true danger to take place right under their noses. Just because people have "rights" doesn't mean what their doing isn't wrong.

 That's real. Maybe I just can't relate because I wouldn't type nothing wild like that.

I swear Texas is its own country.

country > state

country > state

If you meant USA>Texas...not so much.

If  you mean country of texas>state of texas, than yes.

I agree.   Though, even as a non texan and non southerner, state pride and state power is important imo.

I swear Texas is its own country.

It's definitely one of the worst states in this country, that's for sure.

 

[guzzy]

Dam, he's been locked up for 3 months already.

Hope he gets out.

Signed the petition.  You have to be kidding me man, lady in Canada showing some real b**** a**ness for that.  Probably left out the "LOL JK" when she reported him too.  I understand people are on high alert because of the recent shootings and bombings that have gone on, but there's an obvious difference in sarcasm and actually meaning it.  If she had half of a brain the context clues would tell her that, I mean he did say "LOL JK," but even if she missed that, it's game and I'm sure he and others had been saying **** like that in the heat of the moment.  She's setting a precedence that we have to be politically correct online because you never know who will call the cops and have you thrown in jail

[boris]

I'm not really sure why you would say something like that with all that has been going on. 

 

[Coromanti]

Still one of the top four states economically and if it were to secede would be among the top 20 world GDPs.

 

[royal assassin]

We will forget.

 

[oh you mad]

Idk why but I wanna punch that dude frm the video in the face.

 

[sir charles]

I hear sarcastic remarks like that all the time, I see worse on Facebook on a daily basis. Why is this an issue,but not the fact that somebody stalked this kid?

 

[carver]

Some people that get attempted murder charges spend less than 8 years in jail

 

[pepperjackchees]

I'm not really sure why you would say something like that with all that has been going on. 

This. Even if it's a joke, you have to be a really evil person to be talking like that. 

 

[jdiggs]

I understand that he made a duechebag remark but its nothing to ruin the young man's life over.

So you're just gonna call someone evil without knowing anything else about them, huh...

 

[maliz]

Its a lose lose for the coppers so they had to arrest him BUT the possible sentence is way too much, I think mandatory psychiatric counseling would have sufficed.

 

[Top Boy]

I get called the N word on xbox live AT LEAST 10 times a day, and my life threatened.

If they want to start really cuffing dudes, all they need to do is to hop on duty.

 

[waka flocka]

As long as he white then I don't care

 

[mr marcus]

As long as he white then I don't care

I got issues with some but I can't cosign this

Now if he was actually planning some **** then yea lock him up for awhile...but him joking should = admitted to a behavioral health unit to be further evaluated

 

[FlipSide]

That's ridiculous. There's a ton of crazy comments online, if he goes to jail for that then a ton of other people should be in jail too

Kind of is.
