Let's see what would be "better" for him to do to get less jailtime, shall we? This is for all of you that says that he "deserves it":

This kid's life is over. He won't get out of jail and be able to employ himself in any meaningful way. He will be shamed and hated. And maybe he deserves to be hated, but let's be frank. He's now in a place where his life is in danger, a place where he will only be turned into a disturbed individual.

Screaming "fire" in a movie theatre is not illegal. This is a common misconception that stems from the Schenck v US decision from 1919. It was overturned in 1969 by Brandenburg v Ohio, and upheld by SCOTUS that says, "the principle that the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a…

July 4th is turning into an ironic holiday.

There are days I'm happy that I'm no american. These days became more and more frequently these lasts years.

There's a small problem with that, no one likes Bleach.

Unfortunately when the prisoners get out of jail, they only know how to be violent because that's how they were treated in Prison.

While some prisoners may deserve it, rapists for example...

Other prisoners who are in for something simple and harmless end up being treated the same as the bad prisoners.

I'm an American,…

I guess you could, but "Canadians say 'eh' a lot" doesn't carry the same sting as "You frequently support brutal dictators and have funded the coups of democratically elected leaders who weren't explicitly pro-American, then talk about that region of the world which you intentionally and systematically destabilized…

Sorry. But that's the most utterly ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You're right. You can't ever know someone's intentions. You also can't be arrested for your intentions unless there's evidence showing you intended to do something illegal. Saying you are going to do something illegal, specifically a threat, is still…

I don't know, "lol America" seems pretty tame considering we're massive dicks to the rest of the world and to a large segment of our own population. What do we expect? I mean, not all of us are like that, but the people who aren't are probably also the people who get that we've earned being on kind of crappy terms…

I'm an American, and completely agree that this represents an enormous failing on the part of our legal system. This case is nothing short of pathetic, and everyone involved should be ashamed.

I'mma comment here and probably get a lot of people angry at me, but as an American, I am a little embarrassed that other Americans will take a legit criticism of America and refuse to acknowledge it because you say something as tame as "lol America."

You do have the ability to suffer a little ribbing at America's expense and address the content of the conversation. We aren't the hottest shit in the rest of the world. We've been kind of crappy to them. We're currently arguing that PRISM is cool because we're spying on non-Americans, for instance. We're kind of…

He thinks if we give people the "freedom" to misbehave, more people will misbehave. I think he's ignoring the fact that we make many many many things illegal that aren't elsewhere, and the penalties are stiffer.

I'm sorry to say it, but if America has become a joke to foreigners I think we've probably earned that several times over by now. Especially since we can't deal if someone mocks us since it goes against our weird need to say we're a unique and blessed country etc.

He is pretty correct, though. The American prison system is shameful.

The responses to your completely valid point about how you're not from America so you can't be right or understand and that theres no way your system could work makes me so disappointed in my country I have no words to express it.

I understand that. He typed a threatening (and tasteless) statement in a public forum and everybody's blood pressure was up from other recent events. His bail is still significantly higher than that typically assigned to people accused of actual violent crimes, like rape or murder. This kid isn't even being charged…

You know, if she could make people immune that way, there is no way the Fireflies needed to kill her. Just have her bite people, heh. And have those people who gain immunity bite other people. And when one person who has been bitten ends up dieing someday (and in that world, it happens often), use their body to create…
