http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/07/03/198129617/teen-jailed-for-facebook-comment-reportedly-beat-up-behind-bars he family of Justin Carter, the 19-year-old Texas gamer who made offensive Facebook comments is working with new urgency to get his $500,000 bail reduced because they say he’s getting beat up behind bars. "Without getting into the really nasty details, he’s had concussions, black eyes, moved four times from base for his own protection," says Carter’s father, Jack. "He’s been put in solitary confinement, nude, for days on end because he’s depressed. All of this is extremely traumatic to this kid. This is a horrible experience." Carter has been in jail since his arrest in February. After he finished playing the online game League of Legends, where the community trash-talking can get quite toxic, court documents show he posted the following messages on a Facebook page: "I think Ima shoot up a kindergarten / And watch the blood of the innocent rain down/ And eat the beating heart of one of them."
