“‘LOL’ stands for ‘laughing out loud,’ and ‘jk’ means ‘just kidding,’ but police didn’t think it was funny. Neither did a woman from Canada who saw the posting.

Justin Carter was arrested the next month and has been jailed since March 27. He’s charged with making a terroristic threat and is facing eight years in prison, according to his dad. ‘These people are serious. They really want my son to go away to jail for a sarcastic comment that he made,’ added Carter.”
