After Making Shooting Threat, Judge Bans Teen From Playing Violent Video Games

A Chicago high school student allegedly made a threat and received an unusual punishment for it, the Chicago Tribune reported. The 16-year-old posted a video on Snapchat that eventually led to a felony charge and his banishment from the world of violent video games. The sophomore, who was not identified by authorities, reportedly got annoyed by all of the discussion around school shootings in the aftermath of the Valentine's Day Parkland shooting. He then allegedly posted a Snapchat video in which he played a video game with the caption, "Y'all need to shut up about school shootings or I'll do one." He was charged with felony disorderly conduct in juvenile court, and after a night in juvenile detention, he was released.
