I usually don’t go off topic, unless of course someone wants to be President. I have a penchant for Presidential contests. But this really pisses me off.
Shame on the state of Texas, those god damned steers and queers. Oh, wait, perhaps they’ll send me to jail too now for making “insensitive” and “homophobic” comments.
Check this out:
Earlier this year, Carter and a friend got into an Facebook argument with someone regarding “League of Legends,” an online video game with notoriously die-hard fans. Justin’s father, Jack, explained to ABC local affiliate KVUE that at the end of the conversation “[s]omeone had said something to the effect of ‘Oh you’re insane, you’re crazy, you’re messed up in the head,’ to which [Justin] 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 [all sic].”
In case you’ve never been online before today: Internet shorthand LOL stands for “laughing out loud”; JK means “just kidding.”
A woman in Canada who came across the boy’s post failed to see the humor, however, and alerted police after Internet research revealed Carter, who was 18 at the time of the incident, lived near an elementary school. Carter was taken into custody and charged with making a “terroristic” threat.
An Austin, Texas, police spokesperson told Parentdish the department takes any threat made against schools seriously, especially after recent events.
Carter’s parents have since launched a Change.org petition seeking signatures to protest their son’s situation on the grounds of freedom of speech.
In the meantime, Carter, now 19, faces up to eight years in prison. His trial is scheduled to begin July 1.
This kid has been in prison since March for making a violent comment inside of a violent video game, which was immediately presented with the customary “LOL” and “J/K” acronyms, clearly stating the jocular nature of his idiotic comments.
Teenagers say stupid things all the time. I find it to be UNBELIEVABLE that these pencil pushing monsters in Texas are actually holding this kid since March and are dead serious about ruining his life for a comment left on a nerd-filled video game, intended to harm no one.
The Attorney General, Greg Abbott, needs to step in and drop the charges right away. I cannot think of a more ridiculous abuse of power, than what these morons are doing to this kid right now.

Fly did you read the one about the six year old boy whose parents call/dress him up as a girl…kill me now for the future is too bleak.

WTF!!!!!!!!!
He’s 6. He doesn’t know sex.
I hate his parents.
Take the subway through the Bronx like I did a couple of weeks ago and you will know there isn’t any hope.
It all started with those damn baby boomers! JK…lol
R.I.P. Carlin… I’ve been going through his specials going back to his first in ’77…dude was a straight up Care Bear compared to his last decade.
Carlin was awesome…
I have no prob with the adult GLBTers, but they love to push their loose sexual/gender boundaries on kids.
Only solid parenting can save children from this onslaught of degeneracy.
So, you do have a problem with them .. !!
Oh I guess you are right!
I sort of expected this video to accompany the post http://youtu.be/HyGp98Xoq9g
Wow Canada did it again.
Dead on about that.
Canadians.
The police department though, SMH.
It’s not the Candian woman’s fault. Many people get scared without good reason. But those people should not be in the police department. Talking to the young man about the seriousness of not making such statements as a joke would have been appropriate. Sticking him in jail for months is totally wrong.
Perhaps someone needs to tell the Attorney General what LOL and jk mean.
I bet every single one of those involved is a Tea Party Patriot.
Not the Canadian twat
That sounds a lot more like something “Progressives” do, not TPP’s. What a dumb comment
Texas should just be Mexico North
There are 2.3 million people in private prison. They need to fill the prison. some how.
TX is a red state. Enough said.
The cities are all blue tho… so it won’t be red for long with the immigration bill.
Austin is a liberal city.
Who knows what the political views of the particular policeman who decided to take the kid into custody are? Does it really matter?
Why must everyone believe that all bad actions are done by people belonging to the other political party than the one they identify with? It’s just not true.
Worst of both worlds… Homosensitive blue city in a tough on crime red state
Exactly, Frog!
Harper, get real.. Do we even need to list all the bullshit prosecutions/retarded laws brought forth in “Blue States” what an ignorant thing to say. “Red State..enough said” open your eyes buddy
Sorry dude, this is not Red state Blue state and is not a problem related to Texas conservatism.
Speech police are out of control all across the country.
Gold/silver stocks are taking out any Johnny-come-lately bears (should have shorted about the time Fly did his AEM short year and a half ago)(sorry to bring it up).
Bears being taken out Travon Martin MMA style.
That’s just retarded. Shame on the lady from Canada. Who goes out off there way to notify a police department in a different country about something they read on the internet. And how could that police department take that cunt seriously.
Governor Perry is just itching to put his death penalty record outta reach
PC is out of control.. b/c of lawyers.
Lawyers killed freedom of speech decades ago.
Today is a sad day for Canada.
Every day is a sad day for Canada.
True, at least were not Florida.
Huh?
Just watching the Zimmerman trial. Whenever I watch the ‘American Shit Show’ on the Teevee most of the episodes take place in that state.
LOL. Well, we definitely have some “winners” down here. I still can’t beleive that trial is getting so much national attention. Damn circus. Zimmerman should have stayed in his car and let the authorities handle it, period. Now he needs to spend some time in prison.
Believe… I love this George Carlin interview. Watching people is like watching a freak show: http://youtu.be/i9CjBtv7j78
Ya bro what a bird. Florida’s cool though, I stay in Tampa but was advised to stay away from the center of the state. lol
I would have to agree with that advise you have been given.
Holy fuck this is unbelievable.
What are they retarded? I doubt that was even the most offensive thing said on the internet that day.
Seems that at all levels, the folks running governments have gone insane.
I think that happened 3,000 years ago.
The kid should just ask for a speedy trial and get acquitted. What jury would convict him?
You are very right. People have lost all perspective and sense of proportion.
HJV
Doesn’t Texas want to secede? Please, pretty please, just let them.
Thank you for this post. I coppied it to my kids (13 and 16).
In the words of Bernie Mac (RIP)

I don’t think it’s a sad day for Canada at all. Police receive all kinds of groundless complaints every day from Americans, Canadians, and whoever. It’s the job of the police– not the complainers– to decide which complaints are really about illegal behavior and which complaints should be ignored.
All my ex’s live in Texas…
When are you going to post in the PPT again? It’s been a few years now.
It’s Canada Day in 3 days so everybody can fuck off eh?
Be careful Fly hates Canadians.
No biggie. Fly hates ‘muricans too.
That, or he is just jealous.

Naaaah!
Nuke the kid, he meant every word!
LOL JK
The future generations of men are going to end up being effeminate pussies. SF style.
