Angie Swenson DLE Period 1
I feel it was unfair for the men to go to prison because no one even started a riot on behalf of the incite they posted on Facebook. This affects me because I have a Facebook and this is an example of what not to do there/posting foolish things you probably don't even mean
Nancy Corral(:
1st Period
I think it is what he deserves but, It was to much time in jail over something so small. It would have been different if that his actions actually caused a riot. Something like that really doesn't affect me unless, there was a riot in my neighborhood and it destroyed my home.

i think the boy shouldnt have put that stuff on face book this woulda never happend
(charlie rodrigues) i think that they dont deserve to be in jail because the riot didnt even pop off. 1st period.
Period:1
Anything you post on the internet will and can be used against you, it can never be erased.
Organizing a riot on a social network, where the people that own the site are required by law to report anything unlawful was a bad idea.
I don't think that they deserve four years, but I do think that their idiocy was punishable.
Giovanni 1- I felt he didn't need to post that it if it was a joke.
It makes me be more careful about what i post.
Sharit Cardenas period:1
I feel that court is been very unfair with the two guys who wanted to make the riot harming. if they did not do anything to the other guy who wanted to destroy a store then why should they be put in jail when they did not do anything.
i remember that one day i had told my sister i was going to come home late and she told my mom that i was planning to come home late. so before i had even left to school my mom told me i had to come home straight from school because i was punished for a week. i though that was very unfair because when my sister came late home she did not get punished and i did when i got home on time.
Luis - Period 1. A man was arrested for using facebook as a site where people got informed about the riot.
Aaliyah Harrison DLE Period 1 . .
I think its not fair that someone is facing time in jail because of something he did over facebook . Its also not fair that someone did the exact same thing and is not facing anytime and is considered a JOKE . This reminds me of what happens at my house because my sister does stuff and not get in trouble but when i do it i get in trouble -______- .
i think it was unfair they got four years
i think it was unfair because they went to to jail bout the riot and then pose it on facebook
Ajanae
1st Period
I think its unfair for someone to start niether is to respond to the violence. So I think it is not was good that he put into jail because it only takes one to do something then unresponsible people that doesnt have any sense follows behind. I think that would just mess up society.
Mia Kellner 1st period
To me this is just another case of abusing the internet. Its always been a good and a bad thing, depending on how you use it. If you respect the internet, and that everything you post will be seen in some way. i think he being an adult he should have known.
Malia Demello
Period 1

I feel that they deserve less than 4 years in prison because they didn't really mean what they said they were just joking around they didn't think anyone was actually gonna take them seriously about vandalizing a shop.
Galy Torres
Period 1
Aug. 22, 2011
I read this article and I thought that it was a very poor decision for the two men to write something so stupid on Facebook. I think 4 years in jail is an acceptable amount because that will scare other people off and they were talking about vandalizing a store. That's wrong. Shame.
i think that it was not that serious to give them two men four years sentence
>:)
Bryant Garcia Del Angel 1st Period
In my opinion i think it was unfair for the man to go to prison because the riot dint evan happen , It dint affect me
Betoooooooooo think that these guys think their funny but failed when getting caught up in the move
BriannaT/Hernandez
perod 1
this is whats going on is that thees tow people ad posted on facebook it damige a stor dering a riet (wich they pot as a joke)
I think it was stuped and rhey shoudint have dun it and i fell that they should not bee poot in to jail for doing sumthing that uther people knowse that they should not do..
iLubb Yuh
i think they were trialed wrong becuase no riot happened so there trial was not fair
(abel martinez)
period 1
I think it was unfair because no one should get that many years for doing something that didn't disturb the town maybe he could serve about 2 years
wow, after reading about this article I was thinking how this would have never happened and that they misused Facebook in the WORST way ever!

Period 2
My response:
Well i think that it was foolish of him to plan that but also if there were other people who planned similar things, than they should go to jail to.
Connection to me:
By reading this it shows me how dangerous Facebook can be and i will try to be more careful. As a Facebook user i will be sure to like no such page like that and or make a fake page like that.
Josh Dela Cruz(2nd Period)
I think the guy doesn't deserve 4 years in prison, but does deserve some kind of punishment. He shouldn't take all the blame for it, but the guys who wanted to vandalize the shop should be punished, if you were smart enough, then don't vandalize the shop!
anthony period 2
i think that the sentence was way too severe to be placed. I mean nothing really happened so it was an unfair sentence.
Ivonne Period2:
I think that it's unfair how they have to go to jail for 4 years if it was a joke that wasn't important. It didn't even happen so they shouldn't go to jail.
Gregory Lott period 2
yea i do agree with that if no riot actually happened then i don't think that it was a point to arrest them .
Star Long per.2
i feel that the boys should go to jail because what they did was wrong .They should go to jail , but on the other hand they should get that many years if they didn't disturb the city or town .
Roberto Guzman
Period 2
My response:
i think it's not fair because even though nothing happened, they got a 4 year prison sentence.
i think its slightly their faults for posting foolish things. second period swagger . savannah greer
Ok, so I just read about the situation in London with technology being blamed for causing the large riot and many other riots. I DO myself, believe that technology is causing lots of "crap" around the world because people post something or a couple of things that can cause a serious debate all over the world. Technology these days is just the main issue that's causing half of corruption in the world of technology, that pops outside of its bubble, into the reality.

period 2
MY RESPONSE:
it is realy unfair because they got for years in prison even when nothing happend. lus its a free country and nothing should happen to you just by saying or posting something. the reason why the court gave them 4 years is because after what happend in egypt they dont want that to happen in america.
Willie Owens
period 2
you cant post everything on the internet because it can be leaked and thats not good for no one....
michael per.2
i feel that he should get 2 months in prison. but im not even trippn off this dude so yea.
Mahlia Kaid
Period 2
I think people need to think about what action they do or say before doing it.
taylor lambright
period 2
, i think its was unfair because to me its just him abusing the internet yes he did something wrong i'm not taking his side but it didn't take action what i'm trying to say is yes he should be punshied for making something that could of did a lot of damage thank god it didn't happen like that i think he shouldn't get a big huge sentence but he should be punish for it i believe he should think about what he did to me i do have a facebook so when people see this they could get a lesson from this its affects me because i have a facebook and i see stuff like this all the time
la shay period 2
i believe that the sentence that they got was unfair becuase people post unessecary things all the time maybe facebook should have deleted it and it would have been that but to charge them with a sentence was too much
Raven period 2
i think that it was unnecessary for the two boys to get a court sentence for posting this on facebook. even though this may have needed attention, a less drastic measure would have been more reasonable. as for the posting i think that they should have been moe mindful as to what they put on their wall because no matter how private you think your profile may be there is always a way to get access to it
felipe ortega
period 2
i agree with roberto
he shouldnt have gotten four years of prison
paul said this is very interesting because it talks about what there charged for.
Jennifer Solis
Period 2
What I think about this article is that it is there fault for posting a foolish comment. But just because he posted it doesn't the other user that like/responded to it so is much of there fault as the other users to be influenced.
wow, I find it really dumb how many people caused so much serious situations in the bart stations in SF. I don't think they should have gotten so serious over something so small... no ceel phone cervice!!! you can talk with people when you can get out of the bart stations in SF!!!! And maybe the reason why they cut the cell phone cervices at the four bart stations in SF because they're going through a bad economy right now and they are trying to gain back a good economy.

so from what i understood these dudes tried to get some people to mess up some places .. but they did that through facebook .. but they are douches for doing that through the web because they could of made a riot instead ... also they tried to be all "smart" and say "it was just a joke" .. i believe the court is pretty smart so they can't be fooled easily ... by the way i believe the court should of gave them more years ! :P
Anthonyyy ! iThought This Wass Unfair Kus The Riot Didnt Even Happen So iDont Understand Why They Would Gave Him A Sentence Of 4 Years .
Not Fair !
SWAAAAAG !

He was stupid to encourage someone to vandalize a store, and to put on Facebook so know everyone knows what he did.

Karina Martinez

well my opinion about this situation is that is not cool for a that type of situation.. too be locked up for 4 yrs in prison
Francisco Leon
3rd Period
I think the sentencing was dumb because it wasn't fair. 4 years for posting a wrong or rude comment isn't fair at all. It should have been like 1 year only because no riots actually happened. So thats a dumb sentencing.
Gianni
period 3
smh i think its unfair to put them in jail for writing something that they even do yet i think thats messed up~SWAG.

i think it was unfair for them to go to jail for four years, i would have agree maybe for some months.This makes me think that i should be careful for what i post.(Jessica Montano)
Adreanna Paschal Per. 3 i felt like a lot of people be on facebook and a lot of people have seen it..and people might even start doing it to. i feel that i'm always on facebook and my friends n family. and i dont want that to happen on my page.

south berkeleyyy!!!!!
Mayleen,third period.I think that the sentence was not very fair but they still do deserve some kind of sentencing because if it was somebody else they wouldn't even care and they shouldn't have been planning a riot in the first place.

i think it is messed up dat dey went 2 jail for something they didnt do [AHHHHHHHHH]
iM BOOOORD SORRY!
TACOS :3
Jose Garcia period 3
I think the court in this case was unfair to the two men who told people to do something that never happen. I do believe these men should be punish for encouraging violence. However I don't believe the punishment should be 4 years in prison. I think the punishment should be at least 100 hours community serves,or write an appolyg to the city.

why would people take anything posted like that serioslly
that was totally misguided
and if there was no ambush then why get 4 years!!!!
soo not cool
Zuri 5th period.
I think that the court gave those men a reasonable punishment because they probably knew that encouraging violence during a riot it bad but they did it anyway. No connection.
victor, frieson 5th period
i dont think facebok should be taken this seriously, its ment to be social. but i do understand how peopl can abuse it.
Onesty Hill Period 5 i think the time in jail was unfair. i dont have anything that connects to it in my life
i think they do get to do a sentence but not as long g because it makes no since to me why do you get that long of a sentence but they still DO!! deserve a sentence -Mikaela- period 5
maexi vidrio
period5
i think it was unfair for such a long sentence of 4 years but it is also bad that they did such thing if they had a problem they could have organized a petition that would not harm anyone
- I think this is not right , and i think they should protest to get them out of jail or at least get less time.

jason ewing
karma suck dont it
they have been jailed for going on faceBook " encouraging crime ".... I mean , yeah , they DID actually encourage a riot .. but if hey had not admitted to " ENCOURAGING CRIME , " they shouldn't have been convicted . They shouldn't have been convicted because its faceBook , you wouldn't be sure if it was THEM that had encouraged the riot .. someone could have hacked their FaceBooks .. but since they were stupid enough to admit to encouraging the riot , they deserved to e convicted ... because who in the world would want their shops to be vandalized ??? NOBODY right !!?!?! sooooo , they were indeed in the wrong .

9TH GRADE
5TH PERIOD
I think the sentence of 4 years was too much.
They should not have put that on face book.
Riots are not something to joke about.
If it actually happened then he should of got some kind of time but not all of that time. It did not happen so he should have got some months and community service.
Naz 5th period
I think itz unfair cuz dey went 2 jail 4 joking but the other kid didnt
That is really childish to follow a facebook post like that even if you are friends you go and tear up other peoples businesses that they live off of. Then they have to pay money and go in debt to repair it.

samir 5th period.
I think that the two guys got what they deserved. they were going to start a riot that would do nothing but make the problem even worse.
I think its unfair for two men to go to jail because of a riot they didn't actually start. But this also shows a great example of what NOT to do on Facebook or any other social network. Anything you write will always be linked to you, even if you delete it from your wall or status.
- Ti Faotusia (9th grade, Period 5)
-He got 4 years in prison!!!!!!!!!!
that is really ugly and not cool.......

soo i think this is too much putting two guys in jail for four years just because of a stupid thing to start a riot like if that if there wasn't more bad things that people put in facebook.

I agree with the consequence that they were givin. But if I was the judge, I wouldnt have givin them as much time. The crime wasnt ok, but it was also out of pocket to post something like that on facebook. & if that was to happen what would have the boys done? they cant control the other crazy reactions that other people have.
