"A Mississippi man, Josh Pillault, was sentenced Thursday to 6 years for a comment he made while playing Runescape in 2012. The story wasn't carried by national media, but was covered in several online and local outlets.
Apparently Pillault made threats against his former high school, but no weapons or bomb making materials were found during the SWAT team's search of his home. According to the local newspaper, 'U.S. Federal Judge Michael Mills sentenced Pillault above the recommended sentencing guidelines 'to protect the public.'"
