Anthony Caputo, a teenager who goes to Milan High School posted a bomb threat about blowing up a wing in his school on Facebook on October 8th. This threat was taking very seriously as police searched the school for any traces of a bomb. After that the police arrested Caputo after he confessed to posting this threat on Facebook because he was "bored". This teen has been charged with two felonies Monday and he is scheduled to go to court on October 24th.
Threats like this should be taken seriously since they could cause immense damage that could be preventable. People wouldn't post threats like this unless they were dedicated to acting upon them unless they thought that they would try to be 'funny'. Also, if this threat was carried it would have endangered many lives, according to the police and the school administration "safety" is their primary concern.
This young man should be punished because he threated to endanger many peoples' futures; so why should I care about his? Additionally, he had a choice on whether to post the bomb threat or not. Ultimately, the decision was up to him and he chose a poor decision; therefore, he should be made an example of to prevent future generations from "getting bored" and posting a bomb threat on Facebook.
I think a fair punishment for his young man should be a felony and four years in prison. I believe that this is a fair punishment because four years in prison is the minimum punishment for a bomb threat. Another reason is that if Caputo received two felonies it would be extremely difficult to get a job. However, even if you are granted one felony, it is still nearly impossible to get someone to hire you. The one felony will give Caputo more chances to put his life back together because once you get three felonies you are sent away to prison for a long time, and since this young man thankfully didn't act on his threat he should get the minimum punishment.
