The story that has me riled is here.

The summary is that  a teacher posted anonymously on a conservative blog professing that teachers are underpaid hacks and that the columbine shooters were heroes.  It is laregly believed he was being ironic, but someone complained, and officials tracked him down and arrested him for "disorderly conduct and unlawful use of a computerized communication system."  They are considering whether to press charges... Given the attention of the ACLU, I am thinking they will be really entertaining if they do.

 What do I think should have happened?  Nothing.  The Site admins might have banned him if they were upset by it.  He was clearly trolling, and trolls can get banned.  As long as he didnt' threaten anyone in particular.  The teacher cum blogger wrote "They knew how to deal with the overpaid teacher union thugs. One shot at a time!" and some people are saying that was the threat.  It seems pretty oblique to me.

But as far as this affects VideoSift, it makes me think two things:

1. Our tizzies are pretty mild.

1. Even given the mildness I wonder if there are any posts that could get folks arrested in the wrong hands.
