Jake Brahm was arrested in near Milwaukee for a threat he made, in jest, on the popular Internet messageboard 4chan.org. He faces federal charges for the hoax, which caused the DHS to warn football stadiums of a potential threat. From the article: " The threat, posted on www.4chan.org, said the attacks would coincide with the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and would spark civil wars across the world, bring the global economy to a halt and allow "general chaos" to rule.
It said al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden would claim responsibility for the attacks, which he would dub "America's Hiroshima." "
Will this have a chilling effect on "joke" posts on sites such as 4chan, Slashdot, and SomethingAwful? Do you feel as though your hot grit posts are under careful scrutiny from the FBI?
