What, That’s Not Funny?

Would-be Annadale suicide bomber threatens Staten Island Mall Apple store:

A 17-year-old from Annadale left a chilling message on a computer in the Staten Island Mall Apple store threatening employees and customers alike with “bloody death,” prosecutors allege.

The author — Jason Barry of Eagan Avenue — told authorities he meant the note as a joke, but authorities are viewing it as a terroristic threat, and have arrested him on a charge that carries a maximum of seven years in prison.

“I have threatened your store and all its employees with a bloody death . . . On January 17th, 2010 whoever the crew may be working, or the innocent citizens that walk in… will be eliminated with the force of a 98lb bomb loaded with C4, strapped to my chest,” Barry typed on a computer at the store, using a name that belonged to his friend’s father.
