Teenage Bomb Threat Suspect Was Internet Prank-Call Star | Threat Level

Quote:

A 16-year-old North Carolina boy arrested for allegedly making a bomb threat against Purdue University had a secret identity as a superstar in an unusual online subculture — one dedicated to making prank phone calls for a live internet audience, his mother admitted Thursday.

Lundeby confirmed that her son was known online as “Tyrone,” a celebrity in a prank-calling community that grew late last year out of the trouble-making “/b/” board on 4chan. Using the VOIP conferencing software Ventrilo, as many as 300 listeners would gather on a server run by Tyrone to listen to him and other amateur voice actors make often-crude and racist phone calls, some of which are archived on YouTube. The broadcasts were organized through websites like PartyVanPranks.com.

A former fan of Tyrone’s work helped lead the police to Lundeby’s son after the boy allegedly moved beyond pranks this year and began accepting donations from students eager to miss a day of school. In exchange for a little money, Tyrone would phone in a bomb threat that would shutter the donor’s school for a day.

South Bend Tribune: Prosecutor says teen’s detainment not Patriot Act-related

Quote:

The U.S. attorney in South Bend says a North Carolina teen’s arrest and detainment for allegedly making bomb threats to schools has nothing to do with the U.S. Patriot Act, contrary to swirling Internet rumors.

David Capp issued a statement Thursday saying the FBI had arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection with a false bomb threat made Feb. 15 to Purdue University, and similar threats to other schools.

Capp said he has filed a charge alleging violation of Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 844(e), which “prohibits sending false information about an attempt to kill, injure or intimidate any individual or to unlawfully damage any building through an instrument of interstate commerce.”

Odd thing to say, naming specific parts of bombs like that.

They also made it sound like he knew a fair bit about computers from the equipment they took from his house, so I really doubt he was hacked as he claimed.

I'm willing to bet he's also a /b/tard.

"And now for the rest of the story..." You just knew there was more to it.

CRUNCH!!! That's the sound of soap boxes crumbling in the other thread.

So, is Obama off the hook on this?

So it's "truth" when lefties pass the guffaws, but it's "hysteria" when a few righties agree on a point. .......Mmmmm, ok.

She knew he was making crank calls. She had to have known what they were about. She can claim ignorance but her words in the linked story aren't showing ignorance- she's a conspirator in it.

Any chance she is also guilty of being an accessory or obstructing justice as well?

Beat your drum, toot your horn- you earned it here with this case...you called it the whole way in the other thread with that same comparison.

The whole Patriot Act is as big of a red herring as you can get, the mother probably concocted the idea to claim they used it against her son to draw up sympathy for him and poison the potential jury pool with politics instead of facts...glad that people aren't fully buying it.
