In February, Justin Carter was playing “League of Legends” — an online, multiplayer fantasy game — when another player wrote a comment calling him insane. Carter’s response, which he now deeply regrets, was intended as joke.
“He 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,” said Jack Carter, Justin’s father, in a statement to a local news channel.
Authorities charged him with making a terrorist threat. If convicted, he will face eight years in prison.
“These people are serious. They really want my son to go away to jail for a sarcastic comment that he made,” said the elder Carter.

I wonder if I would go to jail if I play CS:S and when I plant the bomb I type into the chat "Allah hu akbar!!" in the last 3 seconds.
8 years is the maximum, which they have to tell you in any case. He's not going to face anywhere near that (if he even gets convicted). If he does get convicted he'll probably get a slap on the wrist with some probation.
So, we could go to prison for playing TTT?
one less league baby
On a serious note, wow, what horse shit.

Doesn't make this any less horseshit.

Agreed, it'll be really stupid if he's jailed for being sarcastic
