According to his dad, while Justin was playing a video game „[S]omeone had said something to the effect of ‚Oh you‘re insane, you‘re crazy, you‘re messed up in the head. To which [Justin] replied ‚Oh yeah, I‘m real messed up in the head, I‘m going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts,’ and the next two lines were ‚lol and jk‘ [all sic].“

Even though it was a clear joke — underscored by the shorthand for „laugh out loud“ and „just kidding“ — a woman who saw the post reported Justin to the police. Now he‘s in jail for making „terroristic threats“ and faces $500,000 for bail and up to 8 years in prison!
