Justin Carter 18 from Texas, while playing a online video game "League of Legends" made a comment on the games Facebook page that a woman in Canada felt was a terrorist threat. So the woman looked up Justin address on the web then called the Austin police department.
this is what is allegedly keeping this young man in jail:
“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,’ and the next two lines were
lol and jk.," said Carter.
The 18 year old is being held on Federal charges for typing a comment during a multiple player game video game. He currently being held in a Cadwel County jail.
here are some comments from Daily Caller:
'Murica. the only country in the world where you can go to jail just for making a joke. For freedom!
-
You cops should be ashamed he was being SARCASTIC You guys are stupid .

This is all in the plans to make
everyone be quiet. If no-one can say anything about being violent, they
can not communicate about standing up to the government without the fear
of being jailed. With precedent of jailing someone for making a threat
in a joke, they get the ability to jail anyone for saying anything about
violence. The boy should bring a malicious prosecution suit against the
local sheriff's department.
This is also an example of getting idiots who improperly interpret
information to tattle on others, so that the government can take away
rights. By making and example of one person, and using the divide and
conquer technique to single out that one person, the individual is not
able to stand up to the state. Since most people do not belong to strong
organizations, they feel intimidated by the organized government. We
must limit the size and power of the government for this reason.
-
Jesus, thanks god i dont live in this country of retards where you cant say ANYTHING.
-
as a female gamer, do you know
many online screaming threats of rape and "teaching you to know your
place" we get? it's called taunting and s**t-talking...people need to
calm down and think about things before they go around, pointing fingers
and blowing VIDEO GAME TAUNTS out of proportion...i'm not saying it's
okay to say these things, by any means, but i think these people are
reading WAY too into this...
-
F'in Canadian should have minded
her own business! But what can you expect from the land of thought
police and Minority Report arrests?
-
I should shoot any officer that
oppresses the FREEDOM OF SPEECH as traitors, including, nay, ESPECIALLY
the ones to whom this article pertains to.
Come get me pigs. EMail attached as can be obtained by subpoena. I
defy you to try. I will be ready with a counter suit attached to a
Human-Rights complaint.
Perhaps, and this is conjecture based on opinion, these officers
should kill themselves before someone like me catches up with them.
Someone like me may not be so nice, and preserve their life as long as
possible.
Please get the prosecutor to reread the word "MAY" signifying, once
again, conjecture before acting rashly and trampling my rights, like the
one for speech and expression.
So officers, where's the charges for defamation, calling the
"terrorist" Insane. Has his sanity been evaluated yet? Just asking,
since this could also be chalked up as bullying... thought I'd mention
it since we're so gung-ho on ending "crime" (if that's what you call the
provisions of the constitution).
-
America is a fucked up country
-
huh? did you read the story
-
Why are his parents being so
defensive? The kid did nothing wrong, if I was his parents I would be
pissed at anyone that thinks what he did was any sort "crime."
-
I read the entire thing
word-for-word and I just want to state that these people are idiots;
their dumber than a sack of nails. I mean, I even laughed at what he
said, a person with a IQ of .1 could tell that he was being sarcastic.
And also, sign the petition:
http://www.change.org/petition...
-
So in its entirety a teenager is jailed and could face a sentence of eight years for a distateful joke.
Are you serious?
If I was jailed for every distasteful joke, I would face a triple death sentence.
This is seriously crossing the line.
The only sense this would make, is if they found any illegal guns,
excessive amount of ammunition which they can trace to the kid or if
they find any evidence that would prove him mentally unstable or
sociopathic/Psychopathic.
It would seem they have no evidence of that sort, thus this better be a late april fools. A very late one.
-
I dont know whats in the polices donuts and coffee oh yeah 99.99 percent stupidity
-
He ever really threaten any domestic facility,he made a off the
cuff jokey remark that if it had been investigated by any halfway
competent law official could have been resolved and settled within 1/2
days ...however i strongly suspect in this case the urge to find him
guilty is motivated more by the political ambitions of the prosecutor and others
than any real fear of him "going postal"
-
If he even plea bargens to a
minor felony, there goes one more smart kid who loses the right to vote
(picture ID or no ID). End police state tactics that create the largest
penal system on the planet and do nothing to increase safety!
#scarenation
-
Um so what are the police doing about this woman that stalked an underage boy to find his home address? .... That's creepier...
-
ahhh the crazy bat won't be penalised
sure
she may've undoubtedly violated some laws in obtaining the information
but then again the 'Murrican gov't won't do sh*t against here since she
'did the right thing by reporting this public safety hazard' oh my god
this political correctness is gonna make me barf
-
I'm wondering the same thing. The United States is certainly getting more stupid.
-
Oh for Christ's sake
And people wonder why I despise political correctness
It blows minor sh*t like this out of proportion in what any sane person can easily deem the most irrational manner ever
For f*ck's sake there're bigger issues to be had at
If
any of y'all can't use your logic and implicitly understand what's
coming out of anyones' mounths, the gov't is so horrible because the way
it's set up to function and the incompetence of the mindless blobs
running it
[I had to censor this bloody comment because of the filters. Really...?]
-
Maybe it too soon, but.. heck...
I guess somebody finally.... reported this noob.
-
I'm embarrassed to be a Canadian,
honestly this is just absolutely ridiculous and it's being way taken
too seriously, the kid said something on the internet everybody says,
that woman was overreacting.
-
The woman didn't overreact. All
she did was notify the authorities in Austin, Texas where the kid lives.
If she was concerned or scared then she did the right thing. I don't
believe the kid should go to jail for 8 years, but if his Facebook page
where he made the comment was public then he was sarcastic, stupid, and
breaking the law no matter how sarcastic sounding.
-
This BS is common
Ffs, leave us teens alone and tend to your own affairs; this is NOT an issue, you all blow everything out of proportion
-
Congratulations! In eight years
we will hear on the news, "Man shoots up school after being released
from prison for joking about shooting up school."
-
What ever happened to freedom of
speech!? Even if he said something controversial. One, has this kid ever
been in trouble before and if not then Homeland security, NSA, FBI or
ICE or OBAMA (Dictator) don't have much to go on as far as throwing this
kid in jail for a month let alone 8 yrs. And if Homeland Security
really wanted to be proactive they could have just done surveillance on
the kid to determine if he really was a threat to life's or not. But
NOOO they just went from point "A" to point "Z". Can we really say we
live in a democratic society anymore?
-
Freedom of Speech is not
guaranteed when someone is threatening someone else regardless of how
sarcastic they actually viewed it and it's also possible that the lady
didn't know what "lol" or "lmao" or whatever it means. His comments
were in bad taste and crossed the line. They were also made less than 2
months from the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre. I don't think
the kid should go away for 8 years, but the authorities have to take it
seriously AND in this case the U.S. Federal government has nothing to do
with it.
-
'...were also made less than 2 months from the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre'
STOP WITH THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, IT'S MAKING EVERYONE A PANSY
-
First Amendment (Amendment I) to
the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law
respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of
religion, abridging the freedom of speech,infringing on the freedom of
the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or
prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.
"abridging the freedom of speech"
Americans - Where are your amendments if they can't protect this teen?
-
Well, you're not free to threaten
someone else with violence no matter how sarcastic you're trying to
sound. That crossed a line the kid didn't know existed. The
authorities have to take it seriously.
-
My problem is the fact that there
is Implications and then there is truth. You say 'Threaten someone
else', and yet there were no names, there were no goals, there was never
a 'Someone' being threatened.
It's like,if you're a suspect for the murder of someone and you admit
that you wanted the person whom is dead to Suffer, die and burn a
miserable death, and that you would joyfully want them to die. That's
not an admittance. That's not evidence. That's only EXPLOITABLE as a
form of idiotic, unjust-justice loopholes that can be used against you
in the court of law because you never did it nor said you Did it.
To be imprisoned for actions that were never committed and in this
situation, actions that never came to be because Law and Justice tells
the public "It could have happened so we did the world justice by
preventing something from happening" - That didn't happen and likely
wouldn't have. It's like that law I heard in some States where you can
be Fined for listening to music with earbuds while crossing the street.
You get FINED by the Situational-predicament that you maybe get run over
by a car and the audio makes you unable to hear it coming so you are
Fined on the What-if-scenario of your own incompetence, being told
you're being charged in one ear while being told that: "We're doing this
to protect you and make an example out of you" in the other.
Similar bullshit, same problem. Know what I call it?
Corruption, lies, deceit, bullshit and food for the sheep to eat up.

Writing a book to overwhelm me is
not going to make what he did less actionable. He has been charged
with a crime and is awaiting trial. Hopefully, he will be found
innocent. A jury will decide whether he goes to prison or is set free.
-
'less actionable'.
The actions that never were.
Your choice of words amuse me but whether found guilty or innocent,
much of his life has been taken away from him and his societal image
from what they've done to his record even if found innocent it will
likely haunt him.

did you know jews did 911, and
are behind the whole phony war on terror? jews control the government
,jews have turned america into a 3rd world banana republic totalitarian

behing all this "zero tolerance" nonsense as wel as the 3 kikes laws
,and every other effort to take away our rights, they must be rounded up
and interned and never allowed to haold any pubic office media position
or position of power
-

stormfront is run by jews ,it is an ADL front

Red Necks!
What do you expect, a harmless joke and they go and arrest a 8 year
old kid, these are the people who make america look backwards and behind
the times. i think the Texans and whoever thinks this is really
offensive needs to grow up, someone needs to stand up and say no yanno
what no i will not let you take this kid. this has gotten out of control
its gotten to the stage where the people aren't even in control any
more, the people say doesn't even count any more. the government is so
posed to fear the people not the other way around. someone please stand
up for this dam kid.
-
First, the kid is 19 and he might
go to jail for 8 years. Second, he may have been sarcastic, but he
threatened to kill. Third, the comments were made less than 2 months
after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. Maybe you should
actually read the story before you comment.
-
-
life is getting more retarded by the minute.
the
guy should have at least be given a community service for making a
crude joke like that. But for 8 years. It shows these people built jails
but no one is occupying the jail, so they want people to use the jails.
-
The cops who arrested this kid
should have shot him dead in the head execution style. Violence should
never be joked about. Jk lol.
-
... The stupidity of the comments here are astounding...
I have tried to bring up how both sides can be both right and wrong.
But
all I see here are a bunch of retards either blaming the so called
"liberal agenda", OR blaming the so called "right wing redneck gun
nuts".
You know? You imbeciles are the reason we are in this mess in the first place.
You
all can go screw yourselves. Reap what you sow cowards.
Congratulations. Your stupidity has firmly planted a corrupting weed
that we will never get rid of. Thank you, for bring such tyranny and
stupidity to our shores.
Thank you for casting aside tolerance for hate.
I have nothing left but contempt for all of you scum.
-
Spead the word people tell the
angry joe show, happyconsolegamer ect. lets help this guy get his life
back! btw alpha sent me :)
-
what is the world coming to
really 8 years f**k sake for a joke. he said that then got STALKED by
that woman thats more of a crime than sarcasm by the way.
now he is
facing a prison sentence. if anyone is insane its every mother f****r
than thinks this person did anything that requires more than a slap on
the wrist for a bad joke
-
They should put the woman away
for being off her noodle. I cant believe the cops really think he was
serious. Where is the president when hes needed to intervene in
insanity.
-
And the world is watching in awe
as America destroys itself from the inside. Are you really this stupid?
Release the kid and stop being such a f**ked up country.
Best regards,
The people from the rest of the world
-
Also Im disgusted with that
woman. We should kick her out of Canada like we did to Justin Beiber.
SHE IS CANADIAN, Why should she care about a teenager in a different
country??? And was this a mother? if so why was she playing League Of
Legends. You would never see a male "gamer" ever react this way. I know
alot of girl gamers are perfectly fine but theres a few who really
SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE ART KNOWN AS VIDEO GAMES. This is what happens,
an innocent guys life gets fucked up. If he gets out they should move.
