“‘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’s dad says the woman did a Google search and found his son’s old address was near an elementary school and she called police. 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.”
