Seriously? You "jokingly" threaten people all the time. To me that seems a little unstable. Maybe I'm just too much of a hippie but I never say anything like this kid did. While he shouldn't be in jail what did he think would happen? It's a public forum that he threatens very real violence - other parents of children that go to school with him would have a very real fear of this not being a joke. Just saying lol isn't really much to go on. I guess it the kid has a history of violence, hurting animals for example. If so then it seems like a good idea to keep him out of society until this is investigated. If he's the school prankster then forget the case and ground him for the summer. Remember Woz made a similar threat (bomb) when he was in high school ...
