Student faces years in prison for college massacre "joke" [View all]

A 20-year-old college student in Georgia has spent the past six months in jail—and could spend up to five years—for making what he considers "an experimental literary piece and art project" to his personal Tumblr.

The "literary piece" Caleb Clemmons speaks to was actually somewhat concerning: He announced on the blogging platform that he planned to open fire on staff and fellow students at Georgia Southern University.

"hello. my name is irenigg and i plan on shooting up georgia southern," he posted on Feb. 8. "pass this around to see the affect it has. to see if i get arrested."

He did.
