It is hard to believe. I wonder if there is more to the story?

First Rule: THERE IS ALWAYS ALWAYS MORE TO THE STORY.
Second Rule: See First Rule
Third Rule: See the following quote from the OP

"A woman in Canada was alarmed by Carter's questionable comment and notified authorities. Carter's home was then searched (although no weapons were found) and his computer was taken. The teen spent his 19th birthday in jail; this is the first time he's been incarcerated."

Ms Excitable felt that his statement on Facebook was a problem so she turned him in.

Doesn't sound like much more of significance is there to be seen. A woman about 2000 miles away was frightened by some keystrokes on a computer and the guy has been in jail for a few months? For starters?

He was turned in by a foreigner no less. I certainly don't feel I have the right to call Canadian authorities and rat out someone living in Canada. I'm wondering what the legal implications are concerning a complaint made by a foreign Citizen? Are authorities required to respond to a foreigner's complaints? I mean, who is she to stick her nose into the business of the people of Texas?

That is an excellent point. A person in another nation felt frightened by someone she almost certainly will never encounter in any way and what, Interpol stepped in and took the menace off the streets?

I'd like to see the Texas authorities send her a hot nastygram telling her to keep her nose out of OUR business. Instead, they champion her cause and charge the kid. Upside down world.
