"Picciano joked about killing the first lady and going on a Charles Whitman-esque shooting spree, yet remains free and employed in a job that allows him to carry a gun; Carter, a 19-year-old who doesn't own a gun, joked about shooting up a school, and is being kept naked in solitary confinement as a result."

Cop must have some friends in high places. I feel bad for the teenager, everyone's a potential terrorist these days. Innocent until proven.... wait, he can't prove he's innocent, so lock him up for live just in case.

Yet another victimless crime. Land of the incarcerated and home of the PC police.
