Teen in jail for months over 'sarcastic' Facebook threat - CNN.com

Now, this is a bit ridiculous. If they found no evidence (like guns, amunition etc.) that he was actually gonna carry out an attack, why keep the poor kid in jail for a stupid but harmless comment?

That could turn even you pro-death penalty, no?

The United States was founded as a nation of freedom. Freedom to live, work, and raise a family the way you please. Freedom of religion and the freedom to protect yourself and your family with guns, even against your own government. Over the last 40 years in particular, we have seen these freedoms come under intense attack. Starting with Roe v. Wade in 1973.
There are three defining ideas that have shaped our country and will continue to forge our future.
~ Pro-Life • Pro-God • Pro-Gun ~
If these principles aren't held in high esteem and taught to the next generation, we will surely see America as we once knew it, gone forever.

That final line is truly contradictory to the first two, especially the first one.

Probably not worth a thread on its own, but fucking hell America, change your fucking gun laws. Melbourne baseballer was out for a run and shot and killed. I didn't know him, but one of my colleagues and one of my good mates both knew him. Fucking senseless.

Foreigner! Don't tell us what to do! We're the greatest country in the world with freedoms you'll never have! Shut up and go back living in your communist-socialist-Marxist country!

The joke stops being funny when it happens to someone close to you.

Tragic and senseless. "We were bored - so we killed a man."

A very sad story.

I doubt very many people take that attitude toward this tragedy.

I think it is more important to figure out why this happens.

Obviously, if he carried a pistol with him every time he went jogging then he could have defended himself.

From what I understand, he was shot by a simple .22 rifle. If that's the case - (and assuming the parent bought the gun legally) none of the proposed gun laws would have made a difference.

Remember, I support gun law reform. Especially large caliber, mass casualty producing weapons and background checks.

As it turns out - at least of these kids have their mom in jail. I'm going to guess we'll find the root cause in that area.

Maybe not very many, but enough to feel disgusted and embarrassed.
