Watch what you say online.

I have commented with this boy's problems before on threads where people posted what crap they said to others online. The update is they are not backing down. Freedom of speech does not include yelling fire in a crowded theater. Do not become a felon over a bit of butthurt, or you might be getting a lot of real butthurt in jail.

SAN ANTONIO -- The New Braunfels teen accused of making threats on Facebook last year was in court for a pretrial hearing, to see if the judge had reached a decision on a motion filed by the defense team last December.

Thursday, the judge presiding over Justin Carter's case didn’t hear any motion to dismiss the terroristic threat charge brought against the teen last March, when Carter was arrested after making comments on Facebook, stating that he would "shoot up a kindergarten class."

Carter was 18 at the time.

And it was all over a video game.

Yea I remember reading something like that a while ago. People just need to be careful about what they say online especially with this spy companies hearing everything people say over the net/phone(I heard some anonymous person bailed him out iirc)

[Itzreality]

Definitely not the smartest thing to write jokingly or not, but $500,000 for bail? Yikes.

Yup. Somebody paid 30k to bail him out. I met the poor kid once, we live in the same small town. I feel so bad for him, cause we all have gotten pissed at someone else in game.

Ahh.. Texas laws..

 

 

You can buy a gun, you can hold a gun, you can shoot the gun. But don't TALK sh*t on a video game, that sh*t is dangerous..

 

Sh*t talking is much more harmful then guns.

Being stupid or talking sh*t never hurt anyone. Infact, they usually get punched in the face in real life.

 

Stupid people with guns tho... Theres a whole country full of that. idiots like Zimmerman come to mind. Id be more worried about them, instead of whiney dork sticks with a big mouth.

 

Dumb cowards with guns.. Now thats a problem.

You're under arrest for threatening to shoot up a school.

Exactly. If you're stupid enough to make these threats, you deserve jail time.

[Lance_Vance89]

There is no freedom of speech. If you believe that you are stupid. Nowhere in the world is there any freedom of speech.
For an example in my country, Sweden, you can be sentencend to prison for calling a muslim nigga. But if a muslim call a swede f*cking ''svenne'' (a racial insult against swedes) there is no punishment in our laws.
Same thing with hate crimes. If a arab beat a afroguy the arab can be accused of assault and hate crime and if a white swede beat an arab he will be accused of assault and hate crime. But if a Arab beat a white swede he will only be accused of assault.

That's equality and freedom for ye.

If people would deserve jail time for being stupid 98 % of the earths population would be locked up.

There's a difference between no freedom of speech and limited freedom of speech. Believing that we ('Murka) have no freedom of speech is what's stupid. We can say things here that would make people "disappear" in some countries. I would hardly consider making a threat like that, especially in light of all the shootings we've had recently, something that should fall under freedom of speech. There have been a lot of them in the past few years and it is something that should be taken seriously. Shooting up a kindergarten? REALLY? The punishment was too severe ($500k bail), but it was something they probably should have still looked into. Kids are f*cking crazy these days, and the guy who did the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting did post about it online before doing it, so they had every reason to take action.

To be fair, saying you're going to murder a class of children is a little different to calling someone a nooblord, jokingly or not.

[madmanaz]

The pathetic thing is, Justin was being crapped on because his K/D ratio was his main go-to to prove how cool he was. When some TROLL on Facebook called him out for playing violent video games at a young age and how it warps his fragile mind, Justin's response was sarcastic:

 

"oh yeah, I'm going to shoot up a kindergarten classroom".

 

We live in a world where kids now call in SWAT teams to raid other kids' homes under false pretenses. The age of the TROLL is here and I'm ready for it to end.

You know how many school shottings we have had in Sweden?

Zero.

Remove the guns and i promise that the shootings would drop like a f*ucking nuclear bomb.

[Raylion]

If someone jokingly uses the word 'bomb' in an airport they can get arrested pretty sharpish. Even if its obviously messing about the authorities will act and make an example of you (at minimum making you miss your flight).

 

So it's no surprise to me that this kid is going through legal proceedings for threatening to shoot kids...if the authorities are aware the threat is made, don't act and something bad happens they are screwed themselves.

 

I feel bad for the kid and his family as this is harsh but it was a stupid thing to say.

Sweden also has about 3% the amount of people that the U.S. has, is a fraction of the size, has a completely different culture, and a much less ethnically and financially diverse population. Promising anything with those statistics is silly.

 

I've always been curious how people think the "great gun purge" would work. The fact of the matter is, it wouldn't. Removing guns from the U.S. is impossible. Period. The guns that would get removed would primarily be legally owned ones. There's such a thing as the black market, and illegal guns would run rampant, mostly supplying violent criminals with firearms while law abiding citizens would either no longer have access to them or have to break the law in order to obtain them (which many would).

 

A lot of people from outside the U.S. seem to think that our law enforcement are like RoboCops who do a perfect job at protecting our citizens, but that simply isn't the case. Unfortunately in life-or-death situations for a civilian they're often simply too late or make fatal mistakes, and it's happened and happens far too often. Most people would rather not leave their fate up to another person if they can help it.

 

Truth be told, I think the world would be better off without them, but they're here to stay. We don't live in a bubblegum fantasy world, and our country and many others have them in a pretty hefty supply, and those that do are stuck with them for the foreseeable future.

yes, a perfect world where only pink butterflies exist over the rainbow and nobody ever gets hurt and nothing bad ever happens. I can see you've been programmed effectively.

 

I got an idea. How about we just outlaw murder and thievery! That'll take it all away right!

“Someone had said something to the effect of 'Oh you're insane, you're crazy, you're messed up in the head,’ 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,’" said Jack Carter. "And the next two lines were 'lol' and 'jk.'"

 

It's not nearly as bad as I thought when opening the article.

After reading it though I don't think this kid should go to jail, be considered a convict, and suffer the rest of his life for it. He's already suffering now. You can definitely see he has paid dues for what he did and I think he feels sorry for it. I highly doubt he would've done it the first time if he knew the consequences that would unfold.

 

As some have said, a lot worse has been said in private without a doubt and I think he perceived the idea that his conversation would be considered private.

 

The reality is that you don't say things like that publicly. Every time something big happens people say there were tons of warnings and nobody did anything about it and here we have government doing something about it and people are getting mad. Well, you can't have your cake and eat it too. And you don't want to be the person that the state makes an example out of.

The defendant's father, Jack Carter, said his son was exchanging comments in a heated discussion with a woman on Facebook.

 

“Someone had said something to the effect of 'Oh you're insane, you're crazy, you're messed up in the head,’ 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,’" said Jack Carter. "And the next two lines were 'lol' and 'jk.'"

 

A woman from Canada, who saw the posting, didn't find the statement funny. Instead, she took a screen-grab of Carter's comments and sent it to authorities. Carter was arrested the following month.
