Huh.......

When I read "I'll eat their still beating hearts" I knew it was a joke so of course I went and signed it.

I feel sorry for him, but then too I'm kind of not surprised. Justin's though was more serious even in joke form, because while someone can say they were joking, the recipient can't really know for sure since they don't know the person well, which your video shows.

And who the person that reported him should also have legal actions taken against them as they shouldn't have been able to find the person's address unless they were an admin/GM of that game. Even when I was an assistant admin for a game, I didn't have that type of access to people's accounts. So she should be held liable too for breaking online privacy.

The video you posted I stopped watching about 10 mins in when he started insulting law enforcement.

Signed.
Inane comments are just that.

Well I guess half of off topic may end up in jail by the end of the year. O.o

It was consensual you're okay.

It was consensual you're okay.

Nothing is ever consensual in off topic.

This is stupid. The kid is stupid for making the joke and the girl is stupid for taking it seriously.

From the story i read, this was a conversation he was having on FB, from which the woman in CANADA... again IN CANADA, saw and got his address from FB, then googled his address and found out he was close to a school in TEXAS.

This is just another example of American government becoming to big. Its a blatant disregard for the 1st Amendment... and that Canadian woman needs her internets rights revoked.
