Some asswipe is saying theres a bomb outside NYC on Twitter.

I just saw this on another popular forum. It's about an hour old. I bet this clown is in Gitmo by sundown.

This has to be illegal right? If not completely stupid, then the dude must be mentally ill.

Here's the link to the Twitter account:

I'm not trying to cause any hysteria, I'd like to state I think it's a hoax.

If you were a judge in this guys case, what punishment would you hand down?

I'd shove multiple packages up his ass. On a related note, there is a bomb in iraq.

It's completely illegal. We're talking going away forever illegal. That's what you get for being a pretend-terrorist fuckwit.

I'd say he's better off Ted.

Well, I hope he likes prison because that is where he is headed. =\

I think Ted has a waterboard in his future.

In 2012... someone, in presumably sound mind and with enough mental faculty to use Twitter... posts a bomb threat.

In New York.

Dude is going down for hella time.

There's a giant bomb in my computer

Well that is one way to meet his kid's mother.

Awww, now I miss that show again...

Well, at least I'm not in the city.

If there is a bomb and he didn't plant it, and can prove that he didn't plant it and that he didn't have anything to do with it, then he'll be fine.

If there isn't a bomb then he's fucked for life. If there is a bomb and he had something to do with it, then he's also fucked for life.

He's a stupid troll, he'll get arrested for threats and you all will forget about it in a day or two, its not really a big deal.

ITT people over react

OH SHIT 2012 ITS HAPPENING #YOLO

I'm not exactly about to jump out of a window, I just thought it might warrant a single thread on the forum.

What is ecb and eurusd?

Yo, I heard that recently some dude got shot in New York. This is totally news to me.

@PeasantAbuse said:

eurusd is a reference to the euro and the US dollar I think. ecb = european central bank?

I'm not even sure what he means. "Outside new york city." Like it's in Jersey City? Or Somewhere outside in New York City? So in like a park or street?

Wuet?

But wouldn't that be the safest place to be seeing as New York is the only place we know the bomb isn't?

It's probably some kid thinking he's being smart.

And totally underestimating how much trouble he'll get in for this.

Maybe I'm just a cynical bastard, but I would've expected dumb tweets like this to be posted all the time. Why is this jackass with exactly 1 follower getting all this attention?

And that's when the CHUDs came at me.

Once the Department of Homeland Security gets to him......he'll a prison bitch for the rest of his life.

So you spread dumb shit like this to other forums? Way to be part of the domino effect.

It's fun to watch people ruin their lives intentionally.

THERE IS A BOMB LOCATED IN NOT THIS LOCATION. ACTUALLY SEVERAL LOCATIONS THAT ARE NOT THIS LOCATION. BEWARE.

Like, it literally could be anywhere. Technically speaking, his 'warning' means absolutely nothing.

Fair enough, if a 4chan post can make a school shut down for a day then this is warranted a thread, again nothing will likely come out of it.

Indeed. There are tons of bombs outside NYC. Many of them are in the possession of the US government. It would even be accurate to say that there are Pakistani nukes outside of NYC.

Now, if he means outdoors in NYC, that's another matter entirely.

In a related noted, there was a bomb threat from someone claiming to be from al-Qaeda at my college last Friday, as well as like two other colleges, and then another one at another college on Monday. Ours ended up evacuating and all classes were cancelled.

This thread reminds me why the War on Terror has been a farcical failure. If one imbecile, posting a nonsense statement on a largely anonymous site, backed with zero credibility can cause this much panic and consternation, then I'm sorry but you'll be living the rest of your lives in fear. Pretty soon you'll be begging for a total security state. People need to wisen up and not let fear rule them.

must be a new fad or something

Wtf does that even mean?

"There is A bomb" - Insinuating a single device...

"It's in a car"

"There are multiple packages?" - Wait you said "A bomb." What do I care about other packages you may have, possibly from Amazon or UPS/Fedex? I'd say the bomb is the important part.

"In multiple locations" - ?? That is one fucked up car... How can said car be in multiple locations??

heheh

This blow will be arrested REAL quick.

Hopefully we see him getting thrown in the clink on the evening news.

Edit: The punishmet? An entire hot wire coat-hanger up the pee hole?

Followed by being tied up at the Twin Towers memorial and letting any who'd like to hand out a 5 minute beating.

Followed by 10 years in prison if it's a fake.

Life in prison if it's for real, no chance for parole.

To be fair, there probably is a bomb in a car somewhere outside of NYC.

No kidding. The NYPD (and the Tri-State area in general) don't play around when it comes to bomb threats. To use a fucking computer to do it is stupidity on a massive scale.

Thanks for your feedback.

However, in your post, I was unable to locate an answer to the question I asked in the OP regarding punishment for people that make bomb threats.

Whatever, I thought bomb threats on twitter were rare. I thought this was interesting and I thought I might share it on the forums.

Anyway, I've got another thread I have to get back to so I can tell this guy how absurdly awesome this thing he made from Lego is.

Good day Sir.

They released a photo of the ass-wipe making these threats!

I wouldn't let the Epicness bother you.

This is way more valid of a thread than a lot of other horse-shit out there.

It's actual real news that we'll probably see on TV today if it gains enough attention from OTHER media.

I'm sure this d-bags (the tard that made the threat) intent was not to create mass hysteria on the Giant Bomb forum only.

BEHOLD THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!!

@LD50: Blah! No dude, we are on the same side, the "d-bag" I was referring to is the bomb threat fuckface.

Edit: Edited my post to make that more clear...
