A Penn State-Harrisburg student was convicted Tuesday of charges related to threatening messages left on his MySpace page, the Daily Collegian reports. The 24-year-old's profile was reported to show a photographic illustration and poem titled "The Ballad of Cho Seung-hui," a work about the Virginia Tech shooter. The poem appeared under the headline "Virginia Tech Massacre: They got what they deserved." The profile also threatened, "Someday I will make the Virginia Tech incident look like a trip to an amusement park," according to a press release from the acting U.S. attorney for the middle district of Pennsylvania.

The man was found guilty of transmitting communications containing a threat to injure and faces a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison.

Почему Библейский плод с древа познания добра и зла был запретным?

Очевидно, что в ветхозаветной истории речь идет не о зрелости Божественных

плодов, но о духовной зрелости самого человека. Только духовно зрелое человечество

способно познать Истину - вот о чем, в метафорической манере, повествует Библия.

Именно Знание Истины является свидетельством духовной зрелости и потому только

Знание Истины дает право на Символ Истины, а Символ Истины - это Древний Контактный

Символ, который позволит вам убедиться лично, что мы не одиноки во Вселенной.

Путь к Истине находится по адресу: truenewworld.ru
