That's pretty retarded, but so is substituting 'sentenced to' with 'gets'. |

Or, "That assumes we ever had it," right? |

Tom, I think if the kid knew that he would get an 8 year prison sentence, that he probably would have at least had second thoughts... |

Yeah Mike i agree, but sadly in today's world where school shootings seem to be becoming more and more regular, i think this kid was made an example of. Unfortunately they seem to have come down on him like a ton of bricks. What really screwed him i guess was the "terroristic threat" charge. Thats a very heavy weight charge and carries heavy weight sentences. |

News like these are getting just plain ridiculous. If I lived in the US I'd consider moving to Europe or Australia. All this fearmongering and stupidity ... I just remembered all the fuss about the blinking lights viral adverts crisis ... get half a brain ffs. Is this how 'the media' is trying to portray the US or is it really that bad around there? |
