I mean... i'm not one who condones threats of any type, but this IS the fucking internet. Has the government SEEN 4chan? I mean holy balls... people on THIS site say some pretty fucked up shit as it is...
Sure, maybe send some FBI folks over to his doorstep, maybe arrest and search him on suspicion, and maybe throw an ankle tag on him for a few months and give him mandatory counseling sessions... but 6 months of federal pound-me-in-the-ass-prison for a twitter post while he was probably high as balls?
But nope... Spend thousands on yet another inmate, for half a year, which will fuck this dude's life up even more than it might already be, just to 'prove a point' or some bullshit that 'teh interwebz is serious bizniss', then throw this dude back out onto the street, where he's now pissed off, with a sore butt, and lots of new, pent up issues with a government he already doesn't trust? Way to create a guy who might actually point a real gun at the POTUS.. or anyone for that matter WITHOUT the blind threats...
America's justice/prison system is too fucked up already for this shit.
