The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate. Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are... Death awaits you.

This is horrendous, and a perfect example of America's flawed judicial system. This man committed no crime. Essentially, they jailed an innocent man. Aggravated menacing. That is a crime, and he pleaded guilty to it."Aggravated menacing"? Give me a break. He made fun of someone. Happens every day in America.
If making fun of someone was a crime, every schoolchild would be in jail.And yet we do punish schoolchildren for bullying and insulting their peers. Granted, we don't jail them. But shouldn't an adult be held to a higher standard?The school punishes them, not the law. And why would we hold adults to a higher standard than a 16-year old?
Making fun of someone shouldn't be a crime. That's why I hate all the people that get jailed for cyberbullying.I follow you. Personally, as Recon put it above your post, the man was in my view guilty of a crime. The crime was intentionally making a young girl, a minor, feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Whether jail time is appropriate for that crime, I am not sure. But I hope it teaches him a lesson.
