If only people knew when to stop while they’re ahead.<\/p>\n

This latest installment of the moronic Facebook chronicles takes us to North Olmstead, Ohio, where a man has been sentenced to 17 months in prison plus he’s been forced to undergo anger management counseling thanks to a few Facebook posts.<\/p>\n

27-year-old William Bement was furious with the justice system. He had just been given probation for a drunk driving incident, and he wasn’t happy about it. <\/p>\n

So where do people go these days when they want to vent to hundreds of people? Facebook, of course. <\/p>\n

Shortly after his probation sentence, Bement decided that it was a good idea to post vague threats on Facebook. “Stop shooting up schools and start shooting cops in courthouses!” said one post. “Kill you local judges,” said another.<\/p>\n

After one of Bement’s friends notified a court employee of the alarming posts, Bement was hauled back into court – this time receiving a much lengthier sentence for one count of “attempted retaliation.”<\/p>\n

He claimed that he was simply talking out of his ass – or doing it for “shock factor” as he put it. But it just goes to show you – it’s hard to communicate jest via social media. Joking or not, you can’t just instruct people to murder officers and judges online. You. Just. Can’t. Do. It. <\/p>\n
