As you pointed out, Joey:
Comal County prosecutor Laura Bates and Comal County District Attorney Jennifer Tharp are pushing the charge despite the fact that they don’t even have the entire comment thread to provide context. They’ve also apparently found nothing else to incriminate him. They found no guns, no bombs or bomb-making materials, no written plan of attack, really no indication at all that the comments were anything more than a bad sense of humor, or just bad judgment.
That should have been the end of it right there. Beyond maybe one night in jail to scare him away from making similar future threats online.
It sounds to me like lawyers in the D.A.'s office overzealously prosecuting unwarrantedly, to try and make headlines and a name for themselves at this kid's expense.
