Re: Teen Jailed For Violent Comment During League of Legends....

said by atuarre:

Like I said before, you don't say shit like that on-line. You don't take someone seriously, and they shoot up a school, and it comes out that the authorities knew someone said that, especially if people were killed, expect lawsuits.

You investigate. But you use common sense and cut him loose when it's apparent he isn't a danger to anyone. You don't lock him up for months and threaten a decade in prison for something he typed once onto facebook. That's scary shit, man, and I can't believe anyone is actually taking the state's side on this one.

And what happens if you release him, and he actually does go out and shoot up a school?

Exactly. We do live in a different time now, but does that really mean we turn to a system of "guilty until proven innocent"? Go look at Mexico if you want to see how that one pans out.

The fact that there are people taking the state's side on is much more scary than anything this teen might have done.

You make it sound like The State is full of robots who are accountable to no one.

They threw a dumb kid into solitary for doing dumb kid things and set bail to something unobtainable by the family. The state's accountability already took a siesta on this one.

Why not arrest you? You have about the same chance of shooting up a school as this kid does. Why not just keep you locked up the rest of your life because, hey, if we let you roam free, anything bad you do will be on OUR HANDS right?

And fyi the government already has immunity. You can't sue the government for failing to stop a terrorist attack or whatever.

But this kid can and should sue the government for violating his Constitutional rights, wrongful arrest, and imprisoning him without probable cause, in addition to searching his house without probable cause. He has endured a lot of pain and suffering because some politicians wanted to cover their asses.

Where's the conservative and liberal media on this? Surely, Americans everywhere should be absolutely furious over this issue.

We just want to know where all the good porn is on the internet before the terrorists do.

Then they just need to hack on Tigerlord's PC and that's it, no need to do a big mess about it.
