4chan user gets 114,000 fine from CIA for posting school mall shooting image macro
Ok can't find the new story (someone post please... a quick google and I couldn't find it) but basicly some guy from over here (melbourne) posted the picture of the guy that shot everyone at that us mall and said he was going to shoot everyone until he was either dead or capacitated on 4CHAN.ORG!!!
Now he's facing 5 years jail (Australian laws) and 114,000 in costs to find him from the U.S.
I'm just reading this on the front page of the sunday herald sun (most popular newspaper) here and I'm thinking crap... this guy musta sent an email to a mall or something. Then i find out its a thing posted of 4chan. I mean seriously fucking get over yourself... 4chan is not a representative of what actually happens in real life (girls usually don't have penises either). I mean seriously... 4chan!!!
This has to be the biggest piece of crap fine/jail sentence ever. I mean seriously of all the fucking websites. What kind of dumbass CIA chases a guy that posts an image macro and a few death threats at 4chan.org.
This doesn't quite top the chaser sneaking a guy in an osama suit into the world meeting in Australia but it sure as hell is close. In either case neither persons/people should have been penalised.
Discuss (oh yes and post news story too please)a

Well this is the US we are talking about. Oh the other thing I forgot to mention is the only reason the us "apparently" took it seriously is that it was posted 9 hours after the shooting.
I'm really tempted to after a similar news story goto a local library make a 4chan alt and do something similar just to waste the CIAs money.

I really don't buy the validity of this story at all. Yes, its "the US we are talking about," but that seems just a tad far-fetched even for our government. The lack of any news article makes me doubt this even more.

I meant the US CIA taking them seriously.
Hmm well I can't find it on the sunday herald sun website... maybe they realised it was actually an incredibly dumb story.

"We know that the gun is supposed to be a replica of a stormtrooper's blaster but that is too well made to go carrying around the streets in front of people that don't know much about Star Wars. Too easily mistaken for a real gun … that was a silly thing to do," he wrote.
Everybody knows what Star Wars is and what a fucking Stormtrooper blaster looks like. Wow.
