moneymakers Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The rest of the story http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,519570,00.html But a new report by Wired News suggests that, not only was the teenager an online superstar in rogue tech communities for his prank phone calls, but his mother may have known all along that the boy was conspiring with others to make bomb threats. Lundeby, known online as "Tyrone," allegedly had progressed into selling his services as a threatmaker, charging schoolchildren from across the country $5 apiece to place threatening, Internet-based phone calls that would cause administrators to shut down their schools, Wired News reports. Tyrone" allegedly moved on to bigger things, according to Wired News, which says he began calling in bomb threats and pretty soon was being paid for them via a PayPal account. An Australian college student who told Wired News that he tipped off the FBI about Ashton said Annette Lundeby knew exactly what her son was doing. "His mother knew that he was making calls, because she'd come on the microphone when he was talking and tell him not to do any bomb threats because the house was going to get raided," the student told Wired News.

I'm sorry that we can't prosecute this person through the legal system that worked fine for 200 years before you started hiding under your bed from the dangerous evildoers.

Azazello1313 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The claim that the boy is a victim of USA PATRIOT, though, appears to have been cut from whole cloth. While there’s plenty to criticize in that post-9/11 law, it doesn’t contain any provision that abrogates a defendant’s right to a trial. It’s also not responsible for making it illegal to phone in a bomb threat. That’s been a federal crime since 1939. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchoutofwater Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Well, if you would bother to actually read, you would note I've already stated that "this is bad", see post #7. I didn't see any need to go any further than that because it seemed as though most people are in agreement over that. I only go on about items that are in contention.
