Should an admittedly crude and offensive "joke" on Facebook with no actual intent to commit a violent crime send someone to jail for ten years? I would hope that the answer is "no" but that may well happen to a 19-year-old gamer in Texas. Justin Carter was discussing a video game online when someone else called him crazy. He said, sarcastically, that he was crazy and was planning to shoot up a school.
