Jake Brahm Goes to Prison



Hey, Jake Brahm (aka "javness")!

You've had your day in court. What are you going to do now?

I'll answer. You're going to prison.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:


A former Wisconsin grocery clerk must serve six months in federal prison for making bogus Internet postings warning of terrorist attacks against NFL stadiums, a federal judge in New Jersey ruled today.

Federal Judge Jose Linares says Jake Brahm conducted a "sick" hoax. The judge also ordered Brahm to repay $26,750 incurred in extra security costs at two of the stadiums.

The 22-year-old from Wauwatosa says the postings were never meant to be taken seriously, but federal prosecutors argued he intended mischief.

Brahm pleaded guilty in February, admitting that he posted false information that so-called dirty bombs would be detonated at seven stadiums having games on Oct. 22, 2006.

The "artsy" and "quiet" Brahm will be spending six months in a federal prison for his antics.

I don't know how well artsy, quiet types fare behind bars. My guess is not too well.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we post dirty bomb threats on the Internet.
