It's ok to have someone confirm their intentions, it's NOT ok at all to jail them for numerous months (facing 8 years) without any form of investigation or background-check.

Let's take it a bit further. The thread was about a kid going apeshit in a school, you suddenly talk about building bombs. Better send someone to check your house, because MAYBE there is a reason why you said bomb instead of something else.
Hm. Easier than i thought to be an american.

If I say that I am going to shoot someone and they believe me, I can be sent to jail, even if I did not intend to do so. Threats of doing something is still a crime.
I do agree that 8 years is a lot, though. Still, I need to know more and if he pushed it to trial, rather than plea out. And if that is the maximum sentence, then its not even a problem.

This, seriously.
His actual speech is completely protected and not at all illegal in this context because his "threat" had no credibility and could not reasonably be argued to have been intended to incite a panic. If they want to convict him with a crime like "terrorist activities" (which would still be horribly inappropriate because a guy randomly shooting up a school is totally different from a terrorist doing it for political reasons, but the laws governing that stuff have become incredibly broad in scope so it might fit), they need hard evidence that he was actually planning some kind of attack.

He might get convicted but he won't get eight years, court will look at the intention behind the threat and the persons willingness to actually carry it through. It's pretty obvious it was some stupid crap he just said, further it was on facebook. He prolly will get find guilty but I doubt it will be that severe.
But hey, main thing is that we sold plenty of newspaper, right?

The threat of doing the think is still a crime. You cannot threaten to do things that are illegal, especially bodily harm to others. 8 years is a long time, but do not post this shit of facebook for all to see.

you dont need to be worried as long as you dont threaten to kill people which is, as im sure you are aware of, illegal

People are fucking retarded. No, I mean it. To jail this person for a rage comment you have to be mentally challenged.
Do they even understand that if they acted against every offensive comment on the internet millions of innocent people would be in jail right now, for no reason beyond fear-mongering.
Whatever happened to kids will be kids? He made a stupid comment... haven't we all? Either to friends, on an online game, in chat programs, forums, etc?
People that have never played video games or don't understand the internet shouldn't have any form of power or legal foothold against others for what is said on the internet... Soon enough they will want to jail people for killing people in video games or taunting them after they killed or beat an opponent.
I can't even coherently form a post for this crap, it's so god damn stupid and I feel terrible for the kid.

Joking is not. And you're not to judge if a joke meets "joke-criteria".

Wait, so I can't threaten to kill everyone in my town, on Facebook and provide no context for the comments? I was not aware I didn't have this freedom to be an idiot on that scale.
