"My son, Justin Carter, was arrested on February 14, 2013 (yes, Valentine’s Day) because of a sarcastic comment he posted on Facebook about a computer game which was then taken out of context by a complete stranger! Please sign my petition to help release my son, Justin.
My son has been in jail for months because we can’t afford to pay the half million dollar bail money. It took a month before he was even questioned and he spent his 19th birthday behind bars. To this day, Justin has not had a trial. No weapons were found during a search of his apartment, and so we’re really confused and heartbroken that our family is being violated like this."

This is just unbelievable. Imagine how many people say stupid shit like this every day. No need to jail him.

Society is doomed when the inability to decipher sarcasm leads us to this.

The internet is doomed when it comes to the USA. Everything is taken so seriously.

Well, with recent happenings, an investigation is understandable. The post that he was arrested for was pretty obvious sarcasm the way she sees it. The arrest of the person was rather moronic, and it lives up to the U.S.A's FBI stereotype. I hope that that lady's son is released soon.
