I'm surprised a clear-thinking and level-headed young man like Zachary Chesser would overlook that.

Washington (CNN) -- A 21-year-old man who admitted posting online threats against the creators of the animated TV series "South Park" was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison.
Zachary Adam Chesser encouraged violent jihadists to attack "South Park" writers for an episode that depicted the Prophet Mohammed in a bear suit, court documents said.
He posted online messages that included the writers' home addresses and urged online readers to "pay them a visit," the documents said.
"His actions caused people throughout the country to fear speaking out -- even in jest -- to avoid being labeled as enemies who deserved to be killed," U.S. Attorney Neil MacBride said. "The fact that a young man from Northern Virginia could support such violence and terror is a sobering reminder of the serious threat that homegrown jihadists pose to this country."
Chesser pleaded guilty in October to providing material support to terrorists, communicating threats and soliciting others to threaten violence. The three charges carried a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.

20 year old kid charged with terrorism b/c he tells the feds he's going to join up with terrorists and he's offended by southpark? Lame. He needs anti-psychotic drugs, not Guantanamo bay. He's probably just retarded in some way.

"offended by south park" ≠ incitement to murder.
he initiated contact with a foreign terrorist, helped propagate his views online and attempted to join foreign fighters. oh, and he posted addresses of people alongside incitements to commit violence against them.
i welcome your retort, and please feel free to post your address, since it's so harmless.
