koalakid··on The 19-year-old jailed for the crime of sarcasm
I'm going to be downvoted into oblivion for this comment, then my account will be hellbanned by the mods, but whatever: this guy's posting was jarringly violent and disturbing.

I believe most people would never fathom ideas so evil, and yet this guy broadcasted it in the most public space in the known universe - FACEBOOK.

The guy needs correction, badly.

English is my first language, and I write for a living, and it's not sarcasm.
koalakid··on Texas teen in jail for his Facebook comment
Thought crime is real in the US. I think we all make concessions not to say things in emails, text messages and on the phone so we don't set off invisible tripwires the government has set. We do it almost unknowingly.

The statement this guy said is different. It's not sarcastic, it's ultra-violent and distressing. He's either a person completely devoid of morals and decency, mentally ill, or so angry he can't control what he thinks and says.

He needs to fully account for what he said/threatened.

koalakid··on Why are Slashdot's comments often impressive but Reddit's rarely so?
The topics at Slashdot attract smart, well-spoken people.

Lately, I've been hanging out on /. for that very reason. The topics and discussions are higher quality than HN IMO and the site is more configurable for the user.
