Anonymous Person Posts $500k Bail For Jailed League of Legends Player

[aGameOfThrones]

An "anonymous good Samaritan" has donated $500,000 to the family of jailed League of Legends player Justin Carter in order to help them post bail, reports MSNBC.

Carter, who was arrested for a Facebook comment in which he said he would "shoot up a kindergarten," has been in jail for almost four months.

"Oh yeah, I’m real messed up in the head," the 19-year-old Carter reportedly wrote after a match of League of Legends. "I’m going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts."

According to Carter's father, those remarks were followed up by "lol" and "jk."

Carter's hearing is set for July 16. If convicted of the third-degree felony of making terrorist threats, he could be jailed for up to a decade.

Carter's current lawyer is inadequate.

The "lady" in Canada who ratted him out and caused all of this needs to get some attention from Anonymous -- though I suppose up in Canada that sort of behavior is considered normal.

Wow that is truly amazing, one rich gamer obviously was touched by this kid's plight... that's a hell of a scoop if a reporter finds out the anon donor.

No more normal than it is here.

I hope he doesn't find out. anon = anon

I was arrested under circumstances almost identical to Carter's, except the court denied me bail since I owned guns.
