[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1275901, member: 12952"] [SIZE=6][B]The Alarming Case of Justin Carter, Facebook "Terrorist"[/B][/SIZE] By [URL='http://www.absoluterights.com/author/daveblount/']Dave Blount[/URL] on February 14, 2014 One price of indulging in hysteria is losing our sense of humor. Another is losing what’s left of our liberty. Just ask Justin Carter of New Braunfels, Texas, who is facing up to 10 years in prison for indulging in sarcasm. It was unfortunately only two months after a lunatic shot up the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut — an event [URL='http://moonbattery.com/?p=22511']journalists[/URL] and [URL='http://moonbattery.com/?p=22547']politicians[/URL] alike exploited shamelessly, hyping it to the point of frenzy for political reasons — that 18-year-old Justin posted some comments on a Facebook thread that were over the top but clearly not on the level. As the [URL='http://www.dallasobserver.com/2014-02-13/news/the-facebook-comment-that-ruined-a-life/full/']Dallas Observer reports[/URL], we don’t have the entire thread, just three comments taken from a cell phone screenshot: One of the comments appears to be a response to an earlier comment in which someone called Carter crazy. Carter's retort was: "I'm friend*cked in the head alright, I think I'ma SHOOT UP A KINDERGARTEN [sic]." Carter followed with "AND WATCH THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT RAIN DOWN." When a person writing under the profile name "Hannah Love" responded with "i hope you [burn] in hell you :censored: prick," Carter put the cherry on top: "AND EAT THE BEATING HEART OF ONE OF THEM."
