A Texas teenager who has been in jail since March faces an eight-year prison sentence because of a threatening joke he made while playing an online video game.

In February, Justin Carter was playing League of Legends an online, multiplayer fantasy game when another player wrote a comment calling him insane. Carters response, which he now deeply regrets, was intended as joke.

Wow, I did not know that people can be that sensitive over the internet, especially playing a game. Yes, we suffered a lot, and school shootings happen all the time. Especially to those families that suffered in Sandy Hook.
