Say You'll Blow Up Half The City And You'll Get A Slap!

Well, just when I was starting to have some more faith in the judicial system.........
Today, after 2 days of confinement, the guys who tweeted their death threats against Macri, the subte, shopping center at Abasto, etc, were set free and stated they would never wish such 2 days on their wosrt enemy. If they pulled this CRAP in an Arab country or many other countries, their 2 days would have been 2 days of torture and then another 20 years for their "real"crime. WHAT A JOKE!

With respect, they checked out these 2 kids who turned out to be total punks, and sent them packing.

Not sure that imprisoning them - thereby introducing them to the prison population (and new ideas etc; not sure local prisons are all that good at rehabilitation), all at taxpayer expense - would be a better idea. Maybe a heavy fine.

I'm all for law and order, and hate the local culture of impunity and infantilism as much as the next guy, but this particular case may not be the best (worst) example.

They are old enough to know not to joke about these things!

Maybe the judge interpreted that such an attack would be an act of mercy towards Argentina, instead of an act of terrorism.

Good thing this is not a "Arab country" then.

No argument there. Just not sure prison would be a good remedy.
Perhaps yes - but I don't see it as open and shut.

How about community sevice well enforced and with good follow up plus reporting back to the public on its success or failure?

Considering some of the crimes politicians get away with here it would have been an injustice had they gone to prison.

Nosedeayer's community service sounds about right if they have such a scheme? Seeing the Kirchner family sweeping the streets would be a sight to behold.

The point of punishment in this case would be a deterrent.

Don't joke about this.

Yesterday at a beach resort near Barcelona, Playa d'Aro, a German Group of travel Agents organized a happening ... Whereby an organized crowd of people would chase a supposed film star. The yelling crowd and the Shooting of flashes created a panic among tourists fearing a terrorist jihadist attack. Tourists started running wild going into restos and shops for cover, resulting in injuries, contusions , tachycardias, damages, etc. The beach was left empty.

The five organizers were taken into custody and judged yesterday , may be subject to the Anti-terrorist Law, as requested by the local City Councilor (Als brètols de Platja d'Aro jo els aplicava la llei antiterrorista per imbècils ) Catalans.
