Long story Made Short:

Someone posts on an Internet forum, asking where to get ammunition for a shotgun. Members browsing that forum dismiss his request, treating the question lightly.

Ten days later, someone, by the same name, living in the same area of the country, kill two people with a shotgun, and then kills himself.

Question:

Should we start taking things said on the net more seriously?

I support this petition. Anything like that or someone threatening to commit suicide, or kill somebody, blow things up, etc. Should be taken seriously. But not every single typed word,because like sig# 1 said, people will say things to frighten others. It gives them a high. At the same time people still have to watch what they say or how they say what they want. If someone is threatening to do harm to themselves or others. TAKE HEED OF THE DEED.

Maybe this was one case where it actually happened, but it's probably like one in a million. Kids say stupid things on the internet just to start contreversy all the time, people freak out and the kid gets a good laugh back home. It would be ridiculos to take everything people say online seriously because it's extremely simple just to say such things to frighten people.
