Suspend Justin Carter's 8 year sentence.

Created by J.M. on June 28, 2013

An 18-year-old Ohio teen is facing 8 years in prison for a sarcastic comment on the online game League of Legends.

“Someone had said something to the effect of ‘Oh you’re insane, you’re crazy, you’re messed up in the head,’ to which 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,’” recalled Justin’s dad Jack. “The next two lines were lol and jk.”

The police found no weapons upon investigation, yet he is still being charged 8 years in prison for a sarcastic comment in a Video Game. This should not happen. We need to stop this sentence from happening, and prove we still have Freedom of Speech.
