A 14 year
old Dutch female has been arrested for an idiotic tweet she sent to the
American Airlines on twitter. The tweet read “Hello my name’s Ibrahim and I’m
from Afghanistan. I’m part of Al Qaida and on June 1st I’m gonna do
something really big bye.” Immediately after the girl posted this tweet, the
American Airlines replied with a tweet of their own reading “Sarah, we take
these threats very seriously. Your IP address and details will be forwarded to
security and the FBI.” In response, Sarah began to plead and apologize to the
airline claiming it was simply a joke, etc. But to no avail, and she has
recently been arrested due to a simple idiotic tweet. It just goes to show that
terrorism is never a subject to joke with, and that you should never put inappropriate
things o the internet thus they come back to bite you, and in this case, quite
severely.
I think
that what Sarah did was idiotic, incredibly ill-advised, and just shows the
education level some of the children around my age have. Never in a million
years would I think doing that would be a good idea, or even have any type of
humor to it whatsoever. It is not a subject to ever joke about and she
completely crossed the line, and sending it to the American Airlines put it way
over the top, more than it already was. I believe Sarah deserves whatever
punishment comes her way, but if I were to dole out the punishment, I believe
she should receive a fine of upwards of $10,000 and made to work upwards of 300
community service hours to learn from her massive mistake.
