Teen jailed 3 weeks awaiting trial over Facebook posts

Student jailed for three weeks awaiting trial over Facebook posts — RT USA:

May 23, 2013 - "A Boston-area teenager remains in custody on $1 million bond nearly one month after being arrested over what he said on the Internet.

"Eighteen-year-old Cameron B. D’Ambrosio of Methuen, Massachusetts was arrested on May 1 after police were alerted to 'disturbing verbiage' on his personal Facebook page discovered by a fellow student at Methuen High School. D’Ambrosio allegedly posted original rap lyrics that prompted authorities to charge him with terrorism, and now he faces a potential 20 years in prison....

"'A kid is in prison. Away from his family. All for something he posted on Facebook' reads a support page for the high school student established this week by the Center for Rights and Fight for the Future. In 48 hours, the website received more than 500,000 views, and on Thursday the administrators said 1.2 million people had visited the page."

  1. According to the MusicFeeds.com, the lyrics for which Cammy Dee may get 20 years in prison were:

    "F**k a Boston bomb, wait till u see the s**t I do, I'm be famous rapping and beat every murder charge that comes across me!" [expletives deleted]

  2. The website New Media Rockstars has additional lyrics:

    "I’m not in reality, So when u see me (expletive) go insane and make the news, the paper, and the (expletive) federal house of horror known as the white house, Don’t (expletive) cry or be worried because all YOU people (expletive) caused this (expletive),"

    Still no threat that I can see. It's pretty obvious that "make ... the white house" means 'be discussed at/by the White House', analogous to "make the news".
