Russian Student Spams 400 People With Death Threat
A Russian student with a sick sense of humor is now paying the price for his poor taste.
According to 'Russia Today,' Anton Shurubara sent 400 death threats to random phone numbers proclaiming "Death to Russian pigs and to you, freak!" Funny, considering he is Russian. Shurubara, who was tracked down authorities, claimed "I was just joking around, I wanted to see what people's reactions would be." What an interesting social experiment Anton! Well done!
The court decided that "the mass text message amounted to racial hatred and a provocation to extremism." Anton will serve one year of probation for his behavior. [Source: Textually]

People have no sense of humour these days, I remember when we could innocently beat each other to near death without raising an eyebrow!

Seriously, he only got probation? People should be held accountable for their deviant actions, even if they are still teenagers.
He may have put a great number of people through hell, people who took the threat seriously and to this day may not know it was a hoax.

Most of these guys got by with a slap on the wrist. Then society rewarded them for their bad behavior by giving them jobs. Cyber-crime where Id theft is involved should be a serious crime. The way this article is written it leaves you with the impression that the crimes these hackers committed was serious but not serious enough to serve serious time over. I guess they beleive that their computer skills in hacking would be more beneficial to society but the weight of how serious the crime is seems not to be too important. Just another assault on the morals and principles of a society gone mad.
