I'm not going to go on too long of a rant about it, but anyone who would even begin to defend that case is the problem with our country right now. You don't deserve your rights if you would willingly have them trampled on.

He was making a joke and he maybe he deserved to be investigated, not jailed. Stand up comedians make worse jokes every day - why should they get a pass but some kid online doesn't when he clearly said "lol jk"?

Just a disgusting story. So disappointed in my country. Justin Carter (the 19-year-old) is on suicide watch after being assaulted by prisoners.

and lolgaxe I usually ignore your posts but you're a disgusting little creature.


That's why we have trials. There's reasonable suspicion he was uttering threats to kill children at a nearby school. This seems like a good time to review the case in front of a judge, if you ask me, especially given the threat of copy-cat killers. Now, if he was just outright slain for uttering threats, or sent to jail forever without his day in court, this would be a violation of his rights, and I would be outraged. But so far, there is nothing unconstitutional about what's happening that I can see.

Threatening to commit mass murder against children doesn't get less shocking by adding "lol jk" afterwards. If anything, I'd be wondering how a rational person could think that was funny, and I'd be even more concerned.

I certainly don't think it's funny. But I think it's even worse to toss the kid to the wolves and ruin the rest of his life over a comment on a message board, to which he immediately admitted he was joking about. It was an awful thing to say, and he definitely should have been kicked off Facebook and forced into counselling and evaluations... not sent to jail to rot for months, on a 500k bond no less. 500k, are you freaking kidding me? How is that constitutional when he didn't even actually do anything? Rapists and grand larceny criminals have lower bonds.
