Kids who post youtube videos of themselves rapping: http://news.yahoo.com/teenagers-social-media-terrorism-threa...

The Methuen, Mass., high school student was arrested last week after posting online videos that show him rapping an original song that police say contained “disturbing verbiage” and reportedly mentioned the White House and the Boston Marathon bombing. He is charged with communicating terrorist threats, a state felony, and faces a potential 20 years in prison. Bail is set at $1 million.

And lots and lots of other ridiculous examples, if you search.



Choice excerpt:

  “If you’re not a terrorist, if you’re not a threat,
  prove  it," he says.

  “This is the price you pay to live in free society
  right now. It’s just the way it is,” Mullins adds.
