A teenager is behind bars after he was arrested following some inappropriate remarks made on Facebook regarding a League of Legends match.<\/p>\n
18-year old Justin Carter took to Facebook and was quarrelling with another user.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone had said something to the effect of ‘Oh you’re insane, you’re crazy, you’re messed up in the head,\u2019” Justin\u2019s father Jack Carter told a Texas news station. “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,\u2019 and the next two lines were lol and JK.”<\/p>\n
Another user saw the post, Googled Justin Carter\u2019s whereabouts, and when seeing he lived near a school, contacted the authorities.<\/p>\n
Justin, now 19, faces eight years in prison, which his father is outraged about. \u201cThese people are serious,\u201d said Jack Carter. \u201cThey really want my son to go away to jail for a sarcastic comment that he made.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comments obviously brought up feelings and images of the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting, which was highly publicised across the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cJustin was the kind of kid who didn’t read the newspaper. He didn’t watch television. He wasn’t aware of current events. These kids, they don’t realize what they’re doing. They don’t understand the implications,” Jack Carter said. “They don’t understand public space.”<\/p>\n
