We don't generally consider fleeting, trollish comments made by teenagers with no capacity, inclination, or wherewithal to actually execute said trollish, fleeting comments to be a capital offense in this country. Especially when, of course, he hasn't been convicted of anything.
As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that we aren't generally inclined to levy punishments that are excessive or so disproportionate to the crime they would be considered cruel - you know, I'm sure I read that somewhere.
I don't have a problem with that Canadian referring the matter to police. I don't have a problem with the police investigating - it would be a failure on their part not to. When that chain of good work breaks down, obviously, when they decided not to exercise some common sense and prosecutorial discretion.

Because he is quite clearly a menace to society.

So the kid gets out and now is probably scarred for the rest of his life and probably has a record because of "words" in the chat of an online game. Here, Penny Arcade, please tell us how you feel about people going to prison because they said dumb gak online: (Spoilered because of three "bad" words) This is ridiculous, again, I should be in prison, most online gamers should be in prison.

Yeah I'd probably be looking at way more time if this happened to me...
Actually what he said was relatively tame to some of the stuff I've seen... many of us have seen. The only difference is that apparently somewhere along the line someone had a slight disconnection with reality.

The fact that some anonymous individual spent 500,000 of their own money to bail this kid out gives me hope for humanity.

 Do you play 30k? It'd be a lot cooler if you did. |

Not that I know how bail brokers work, but my impression is that the individual buying the bail only has to put up a portion and the bail company covers the rest. The bail company keeps the portion as profit and hopes most people don't skip.
the bail is returned when the trial is over and bail wasn't skipped out on.
So someone may have only put up 50,000 or so.

True...
That said the bail is set disgustingly high...

The real baffling part is that it was initially 250k which is still high. But they decided that the jail he was in didn't have jurisdiction, transferred him to another jail, where the a new judge promptly doubled his bail.
Is that normal?

Could be.
Maybe they have an automatic doubling of bail if they move the accused to another jurisdiction. Moving to a new place could be seen as increasing the flight risk.

No, the real baffling part is that it has even reached this stage.
