This is not included under Freedom of Speech anymore than just randomly shouting "Fire!" in buildings.

Geez people, did everyone miss the education boat ??

He did not directly threaten anyone, and it was conveyed that it was intended as a joke. Therefore, it is covered. If it weren't do you think George Carlin would have spent a day of his life past age 40 out of prison?

That's true but Freedom of Speech doesn't mean you can say anything you want.

MURRICA?

I'm not surprised.



Yes, cause I'm sure the countries all you people are soap boxing about are perfect. People these days have no respect for other countries. Your total lack of respect or honor is evident when you call a country like the US, 'Murica.




Do you honestly think he's going to get 8 years? He's not. Stop being over dramatic.



No respect for other countries???? Shocked

It's hard to respect a country that claims to be:
Arrow"the best country in the world",
Arrow"the country of freedom",
Arrowa country of immigrants but that hate immigrants;
Arrowa country that bases their economy in starting wars against other countries...
Should I continue?

And and a funny one: a country where a vid of nudity (barely a nipple) is banned but a vid of a body being shot with a shotgun is ok.

PLEASE SHUT UP...

“The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” - Adolf Hitler

Sad state of 'murica now. Glad I'm an old fart and didn't have to grow up during this time.

Stay rational people.

rabble rabble rabble

18 may be a teenager, but that's an adult in the eyes of the law, and apparently he's 19 now. Consequences for your actions and all that.

He "faces" 8 years in prison, he hasn't even gone to court yet. (July 1st) Save your rage for if/when the judge finds him guilty of poor taste in humor.



Clearly the issue here is Canadian women - they should be banned from facebook, the damned stalkers!

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

and yes, we'll just wait nice and patient like for North Korea and Iran to relinquish their nuclear arsenal out of good will. I hope your children love their new supreme leader.

Why? Have you never jokingly threatened to harm someone in a game or oog? Someone you know? What is the proper punishment for joking?

"hahaha, you are SO dead man!" after getting a flick on the earlobe. Yeah, that's a death threat right there. 5 years in jail for you.

I see someone who is technically an adult (18 now 19) and should have known better.
Sorry but there are a lot of things that just shouldn't be joked about, granted most won't get you sent to jail but this person was an idiot.

We a country of freedom, contrary to what all your friends with the same opinion as you believe.

Starting wars with other countries? So we'll just live in some hippy utopia where Iran and North Korea dispose of their nuclear arsenal out of good will?

How about you SHUT UP, and get out of your little world.



Illegal immigrants? who asked the natives about settling in north america?

And yes, Europe is a total FAIL, I know it because I live here. Mostly for trying to be like USA, the capitalism is what is killing Europe, not immigrants.

Regarding nuclear weapons: you decide who can build them? based on what?

I can only laugh at this kind of logic and hypocrisy...

This is bat **** insane. Even for Texas; he's from austin which is a liberal hellhole compared to the rest of texas but wow. That 8 year sentence he's facing is what a certain triple felon I know received for 3 felonies{armed robbery, possession of 2 lbs of cocaine, possession of 5lb of mj}

The most ****** up part; a Texas jury would convict his ass.

It is not capitalistic when we prop up banks that fail and thus reward wasting money. It is cronyism and corruption. If we had more capitalism in EU, the banks that gave loans would have been let go down and our legislation would have made investors and bank management pay the price for their own stupidity.

Nations conquer other nations. The European settlers had a technological advantage.


lol, The irony is the US is trying to be like Europe. How is capitalism killing Europe? By affording you opportunities to actually be a productive member in society? We should do what? Go back to the barter system? I hear people complain about capitalism? But show me something better!

Would you rather have a radical muslim that says jews should be wiped of the map and the holocaust never happened to have weapons?

OR

America, Germany, Canada etc.

Bullshit. Sarcasm should and can not be punished, except you don't live in a country which constitutes free speech.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

Should have known better? I cant believe that someone would get 8 years jail time for that.

Seems it was obviously intended as a joke, it may cause offence but lots of people make jokes about things that people would find offensive and do not get put in jail.

Alright get a grip people and think.
No country is perfect.

Just about everyone is unhappy about taxes and what the government does or did.
And lets face it, bad news sells so that is all you hear about.

As far as immigration, go ahead try to find a country that doesn't have a cap on how many immigrants can enter each year.
IF you do you really need to ask why, the answer won't it is a great place to live.
