More dumb criminal activity

It is amazing how many people don't realize that what goes on the web gets noticed (ok, maybe we bloggers dream of being noticed, but really, posting terrorist threats on Facebook?).

The scary thing is that 300 people signed on to his group!

LAVAL, Que. - A 19-year-old Quebec man is facing three charges after allegedly making threats to blow up police property in messages he posted on the social networking website Facebook.

Police allege that Philippe Duquette created an online group and wrote about his intentions to blow up a police car and police station in Laval, just north of Montreal.

Nearly 300 people had signed up to his group.

No explosives or weapons were found at his home when police arrested him on Thursday.
He faces three charges including uttering threats.

Better check to be sure they were real people, not spambot sign-ups.
