Threatening Rap on YouTube Lands Two in Jail

[Guest]

No one is trying to link these two clowns to 9/11. All the reference means is that 9/11 changed the way we react to violence and threats forever, so videos like this can't go unnoticed.

Had the cops brushed this off as two angry kids venting online, only to find that they later killed or attempted to kill one of the named officials in the video, everyone would be up in arms, accusing the cops of ignoring a huge warning sign.

Actualy i agree with him.. These stupid kids are just stupid for using real names. assuming the unlikely event that something would have ever come out of this a simple investigation should have been done. But now if htey goto jail they really have a real change of becomeing real criminals. And before you ask me. NO i have never called the cops againced anyone whos made a threat againced me i have more common sense then that i make logical choices. I know when someone really means what they are going to say and calling the cops on someone just for saying something it just as childish as the person making te fake threat. that kind of thing can ruin someones like forever. just because you wanted to be a cry baby that thought he needed to teach someone a lesson for saying something stupid in the heat of a situation. personaly people like that to me should be the ones hauled to jail.

[citation][nom]azgard[/nom]Then they mentioned the names of specific officers, showed footage of a gun, and peppered their rap with sounds of a firearm going off.So not only did they mention actual names in there stupid little rap, but they actually produced some gun's too. Are you freedom of speech idiot's going to sit behind your monitors are try to defend these two moron's and say they have the right to do that freely? They have intent, shown they have a means, and made direct threats to specific individual's on a public forum. Your freedom of speech is protected, but if your a moron you still go to jail.[/citation]


actualy i do say they are within thier rights to have guns in thier video.. its done all the time.. registered guns perhaps.. threatening police well there is something that hasent been done for a century now in many mediums most notably the late 80's and 90's rap. so yes there to with in thier rights.. now mentioning peoples names.. ok well thats over the line of the law.. if they gave a first and last name so people would know exactly who they are talking about.. yes they are outside thier rights now.

It is illegal to make life threats in person or in a video. Too bad they didn't realize that.

Umm...hello, did you miss the part where these guys are not first time offenders? I'd bet money that they have prior felony convictions, hence the association with a probation officer and that makes possession of a fire arm illegal.

What others fail to also grasp is this isn't just about free speech, this is also a civil rights issue. If you do something that makes someone feel intimidated because you single them or a particular group out you can be brought up on civil rights violations. And no you don't have to give a specific name, just credulous intent.
