Reply #3: Is there a precedent for such a huge prison term for incitement?

If not, I'd need to know more specifics about what he did, and why 25 years is warranted.

Further, if there were no actual measurable effects to his actions, that does seem like an excessive sentence.

Am I wrong?

On edit, there is this:

>>Chesser pleaded guilty in October to providing material support to terrorists, communicating threats and soliciting others to threaten violence. The three charges carried a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.<<

>>Chesser also admitted that he tried to go to Somalia to join Al-Shabaab, an Islamic militant group that the United States considers a terrorist organization.<<

That does sort of make things seem more sinister, than if he'd simply been a prankster. In light of that, I do think 10-15 is warranted.
