What the fuck? How is this real?

Reported by Daily Caller? It's quite possibly not real. Their social media team must be aces to get Tucker Carlson this much cred on HN and Reddit.

Blind prejudice against a news source when they link to a primary source (http://www.khou.com/news/texas-news/Texas-teen-charged-with-...) as well as name names that can be trivially searched for with zillions of hits (e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=Justin+Carter+threat) is not constructive.

I googled the term "Justin Carter texas teen jail" and got a whole lot of links from other websites and thumbnail of a youtube video of what looks like a local tv station covering the same story.

I haven't looked into it further but if all you had to doubt the story was "Reported by Daily Caller?" I think that should be sufficient.
