A Boston-area high school student who allegedly threatened to carry out a bombing worse than the Boston Marathon attacks could face 20 years in jail if found guilty, according to multiple reports. Cameron D'Ambrosio, 18, an amateur rapper and Methuen High School student, admitted Wednesday to having written a post on his Facebook page that said, "[Expletive] a boston bominb wait till u see the [expletive] I do, I'ma be famous rapping, and beat every murder charge that comes across me!" [sic], according to court documents, the Boston Herald reported. Police learned of the threats after a student alerted a school official, the Herald writes. School Superintendant Judith Scannell said D'Ambrosio's threats weren't made against a specific person or the school, but alluded to general violence, according to the North Jefferson News. "When we're just recovering from what occurred in Boston, to make a threat and use what occurred in Boston to enhance your threat, is extremely alarming for us," Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon said at a press conference after D'Ambrosio was apprehended. D'Ambrosio pleaded not guilty in court on Thursday and could face 20 years in prison if convicted on one terrorism charge of making a bomb threat, the Herald notes. Police seized a computer tower and an XBox 360 with a hard drive from D'Ambrosio's home as evidence in the case, according to the Boston Globe. "I don't think he was intending to do anything," a neighbor of D'Ambrosio's told local NBC affiliate WHDH-TV. "He was just full of hatred at the time. I don't think he's smart enough to build a bomb, you know?" A probable cause hearing on the terrorism charge will be held May 9, the North Jefferson News reported. Two homemade bombs that went off at the Boston Marathon on April 15 killed three people and wounded more than 250. Boston Police recently announced they had arrested three more men who allegedly helped suspect Dzokhar Tsarnaev after the bombings occurred. - www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/03/cameron-dambrosio-bomb-threat-boston-terrorism_n_3204149.html a website for him has been made to try and inform the public of his apparent innocence: cms.fightforthefuture.org/teenager/ his questionable rap: thoughts?

He just seems like an idiot. You can't go about saying things like that and the more popular it becomes, the more of a chance he'll be made an example of.
In any sense, there's no way that this should be happening in todays world. What would possess you to think that would go un-noticed?
EDIT: I don't think that he's much chance of selling many singles either...

He did nothing wrong. He should be released. Talking about something is not the same as doing something.
If they arrested someone for every time they threatened violence in a song, The Dixie Chicks would be in jail for killing Earl.

Let me guess, you're a Mattel over Jakks kinda guy? Someone should be arrested and jailed for saying something? He didn't act on his words. There wasn't even any specific threats. There were no threats period. It was a song. Like I said, if they jailed every musician for a violent song then a lot of people would be in jail. Mattel > Jakks

I say put him in his place in jail. There's been a situation in our school district where some kid from another school was posting nude pics of girls on twitter. The FBI got involved and tracked every phone that got the pics sent to them. So it's obvious they're not going to go easy on the kid and simply going to make an example out of him. Which I know they will this kid, too.

Last time I checked, making bomb threats and claiming you will murder people is against the law. It's called making terrorist threats. He was not quoting a movie, this was not a line from one of his "raps", this was a post made on facebook, which in the age of social media that we live in, need to be TAKEN seriously. 99% of the crap kids say on facebook is BS that never happens, but all that needs to happen is ONE time a kid says something on facebook and then goes out and does it and we've got another tragedy on our hands. People say "ah he's a dumb kid and kids never do this stuff anyway" like that's an acceptable reason to write this off as "boys will be boys"....to me, that's a horrible oversight. Yeah, mass shootings, bombings, terror attacks...they happen VERY infrequently in the United States of America. But when they do happen, they are BAD. We should take EVERY threat seriously because you never know which one might be THE one.

Leave him in jail, but he should try to get hold of some paper, write down a few songs, give it to the jail attendants and when they pass out from the horror of modern rap he can bail himself out.

The guys comments are worthy of him being investigate to make sure he's not actually planning anything. Anything beyond that is overkill.

The guys comments are worthy of him being investigate to make sure he's not actually planning anything. Anything beyond that is overkill. Pretty much. No matter how stupid his comments, he still has a right to say whatever he wants. What he said was obviously not in good taste and did deserve a little bit of digging to make sure it wasn't actually true, but jail time for his actions is not necessary. Actions speak louder than words, everyone seems to be forgetting that.

Not really, both are expressing themselves in a way on the internet. If you going to try to start an argument with me over something you don't know please just stop. -.-
