Stadium Bomb Hoax

By now you've all heard about the bomb hoax for the 7 NFL stadiums. In case you haven't, last week there were Internet warnings of terrorist attacks against NFL stadiums, specifically, that trucks would deliver and detonate radiological bombs at stadiums in Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Cleveland, Oakland, New York. Naturally, this caused quite a scare last week, until the FBI announced the warnings were a hoax.

It turns out, this was done by a 20 year old clerk named Jake Brahm. He has no ties to terrorism, and did this as part of a "writing duel" with a man in Texas to see who could post the scarier threat online. He was even bragging to his friends about it, seeming to think it was no big deal.

Well, that being said, we get to the reason for my post... Brahm was charged with making a terrorist threat over the Internet, and could receive as much as 5 years in jail and a $250,000 fine!
Thank God! This, people, is natural selection! You don't see it as much in society these days, as our world is always becoming more and more idiot proof, but this... THIS is a prime example of natural selection at its finest!
How, HOW in this day and age, do you do something like that? How could you think, even for a SECOND, in the post 9/11 America that we live in, that it's somehow okay for you to post fake terrorist threats over the Internet?!? How do you think it is okay to quite literally threaten hundreds of thousands of lives, claiming terrorist ties, and then think it's fine and isn't a big deal because it was part of a "writers duel?!?"

This guy deserves everything he gets. Idiots like this need to be weeded out of the foodchain. I for one, am pulling for the full 5 and quarter million.
