Never thought id hear about this again. I was a sophomore in HS in 2012 living in a rural school district in South Carolina when one day my my school went into a lockdown on a Friday because (quoted from a buddy of mine) "some kid on runescape said he was gonna blow up a school" and we joked about it throughout the day. Later that night we all got on TeamSpeak together and discovered the true nature of what happened through articles on the web and realized it was just over sensationalized bullshit and that the poor guy got a damn near death sentence for joking around in public chat. Much respect to Josh for coming out and talking about this insane situation, and hopefully drawing attention to the ridiculous consequences a young teen faces these days for doing less than what we see on television everyday by making dark humor about the tragedies the media loves to sensationalize. With that being said in a weird way im glad I saw this, this took me back to simpler times where me and my buddies would hop on a voice server everyday after school and bullshit around. If we reported half the shit we overheard on GMOD servers in those days the FBI and Police would have exhausted every resource they could muster just to apprehend 14yr old edge lords being edgy online just because they wanted attention and NOT preventing any type of crime in doing so.
Why people think this has to do with runescape is beyond me xD So stupid. He was in prison for threatening to do a school shooting & make bombs. Nothing to do with runescape.
alot of people drink at 19 but i only have a cup of Malibu and coke and night and light beers because of my asthma and it clears up chest infections my doctors agreed with this so im not illegal drinking im 19
@@GhosTSpartaNFtW34 Lol what? That's still illegal unless your doctor prescribed you those Mailbu, coke and light beers.

And this is exactly why censorship is wrong and the freedom of speech is so vital to modern life. This is just an updated version of the Salem witch trials
@@cptnbustanut the salem witch trials were about land take overs, not killing women, mostly men died and then their wives took over the property and then you can imagine what happened next
@@MGrey-qb5xz 16 women and 6 men were killed. Idk how you could possibly think it was about land grabbing. Women didn't have rights back then. Any land would be passed to the next male in the line. It would even go to a cousin before the wife. Even if it was the wife's ancestral land and the man married into it, it would still go to the next man in line
@@GTLx16 I have read into it and all the points that the case summarized is broken down by Josh himself on his channel and he doesn't skim on any of the points.

This dude fits in with you four very well. Like, honestly, you could probably just keep him as a personality on your podcast and it would function just as normal.
@Alex Yes he was. So was George Washington, MLK, Ghandi, and most people who made a positive impact on the world. They're all still smart no matter how you look at it. I get the point you're trying to make though.
Oh sure but when a middle Eastern guy says the same thing yall lose your fucking mind. This is white privilege if I ever seen. Any other race would be gone in Guantanamo.
@Alex Charles Manson told poor down on their luck people that he would make him famous and they believed him. He was more or less offering losers the chance to have everything at an attainable price. If joking about school shootings online is worthy of a prison sentence I deserve a death sentence for the shit I have said online over the past decade, I have said the most creative and deliberately offensive garbage from insults to threats to people in person and especially online and I do it because I think it is funny.
Ive said... dark dark things, capital punishment is only fit for a man that has commited mass racial genocide three times over against eight different minorities
I mean you probably would get jail time too if you're saying stuff worse than making threats you're going to "recreate columbine" and "blow people's brains out". Somehow I think you're full of shit and want to be hyperbolic for the memes but if not then you've just been fortunate no one took your idiotic statements seriously and reported them.
@@MinistryPhenom anyone offended by anything should start back from kindergarden, like how sensitive do people have to be. Making something into a myth is the worst thing imaginable that's why so many atrocities repeat.
I like this guy. He's accountable for his actions, understands his punishment and got royally shafted yet still seems like he's got a good head on his shoulders. He's skeptical but not bitter. The lady was right, he is charming and speaks eloquently. Even after all they did to you I believe you got a bright future ahead. Thanks for the upload boys.
Piss Ass Ok, I would be pissed if he spent 6 years in jail for JUST joking about it online, because that’s a violation of free speech. But what this kid did and what he had on his PC is way beyond just a joke. I’m wondering if he was mentally okay, honestly. That’s just not normal.
Cygnus' Edge idk it seems like a lot she said he said in those documents. He seemed like a typical edgy online kid, with the added detriment of substance abuse. the search stuff is alarming, but seeing as he had no prior offenses he should have gotten a much lighter sentence with mandatory anger management/counseling. He had and has issues, definitely. But not 6 years of federal prison issues
#1 ratbag he did nothing illegal tho. He definitely deserved to serve SOME time but 6 years? Seems excessive. Edit, sorry, he did do illegal things, but nothing had come from those alarming files he had. You can’t arrest and sentence people for crimes they haven’t committed, or at least it’s very hard to prove and go through with
#1 ratbag no, that’s a pretty harsh punishment for threats. People get less for certain violent crimes, where they actually went through with attacking someone. The guy was fucked mentally, no doubt, but we gotta put it in perspective of US law and what other sentencing practices look like for far more serious crimes. Idk, the guys no saint and he did his time so I guess you think he got what he deserves and hopefully he’ll move past this and keep his proverbial nose clean
Josh should try to get on Joe Rogans podcast. I feel like they'd vibe well because of Joe's interest in domestic terrorism and security. Joe's practically in love with Edward Snowden.
I think alot of people admire or appreciate Edward Snowden I'm one of em for the fact that he was willing to expose the misuse of surveillance technology on a scale that was insane everyone always suspected/knew they invaded our privacy but the extent and proof he provided proved how big it really was now he's been forced to find asylum in russia which is ridiculous he should be thanked for what he did not condemned.
@@jamescaico7980 I think most people respect Snowden. The only people who don't are the government and the idiots who base their opinions on what that same governnent tells them. Its sad that there are so many people who just listen to whatever they are told is good or bad and not an ounce of skepticism goes through them.
Feng Bao I see a lot of people like you sending this link. Do you realize that everything written there is what he was “accused” of? Not proven or challenged in court? Like they didn’t include the falsification of his ex gfs testimony and so on. Because he pleaded guilty the case will not contain his defense arguments.

What a joke of a judge this person is not fit for the job they need to have an understanding of the world.....every COD lobby would be in jail if this was the case
What a joke of a culture and society. "Kids just say no to drugs.......except these drugs....and these....and these....side effects may include suicidal ideation and psychosis. That should cure you from fidgetting in the classroom. ......oh no our kids are shooting heir classmates. It must be Doom II and Marylin Manson"
@\f_a/ That's a ridiculous assumption. There are tons of super active gamers and developers(plus other people who works behind a desk) that have active social lives and are doing great in real life. Judging gamers is so 2005. You're just salty we got to choose our own careers that we love and you are busy burgers for Ronald McDonalds.
But this kid needed a life, that's the result of letting your kid sit online 24/7 and not being active offscreen. Sadly, someone died because he loved to dox and having kids swatted. he deserve all the time he got and more for attempting to escape custody several times.
The kid tells him " Kill Yourself " Which actually causes more death regularly over internet if people are sensitive enough and take it to the heart too much, yet he goes into a prison for basically trying to trigger that kid back for talking trash to him… WTF is wrong with that system there?
It's just like getting banned for shit talking back. Whoever is the smaller, pussier man sends the report and they're the one that get's trusted. It's as retarded as not Columbining kids.
that dude has the perfect amount of southern country in his voice where it's not hick, but its as close to a smooth Matthew McConaughey that you can get lol
When I was in high school my school almost expelled me because someone told a lie that I was gonna shoot up the school. The principal at my school kept telling me she had video proof. She never showed me the video. I think the officer who worked at the school at the time told her to say that. I was suspended for 3 weeks. I went to the board of education and she lied to their faces telling them I was gonna shoot two dudes in the head. Which she 100% made up. I had nothing on my record and I could have went to jail because of her. I'm glad I was 17 at the time or I could have been in a similar situation to Josh.

Fritz Philogene II it isn’t mentioned but he was found to have multiple folders on his computer named ‘columbine’ and ‘serial killers’ both containing detailed breakdowns of murders and the events of columbine... however this doesn’t mean he would have gone through with it, and did not need to be jailed for 6 years... he could have been on a watch list and maybe not allowed firearms but his entire 20’s are gone now
All he really needed was a medical evaluation or something similar where they just put you in a mental hospital for 3 days cuz i went there for screaming and threatening the councelors at this high school meeting about my grades
Bro. Josh needs to be a permanent staple of the podcast. He would be suuuuch a good addition from what I've heard so far. He'd add a hilarious perspective to the show.

This guy is genuinely a grown guy, he has accepted what he did and learn so much for it, yes the time he did for shit talking is just mind blowing but at least he learned something important regarding life.
Damn I got mad respect for this guy. My buddy is currently locked up over some bullshit. I hope nothing but the best for Josh, your story is an inspiration bro.
This happened to my friend, he reposted a meme about shooting up schools as a joke and the police showed up and sent him to jail for a while and he was on probation for a year and a half. They totally embarrassed and ruined his life for no reason.
@@roenero7242 it's no like he made a speech in the court room about how the justice system in a joke and everyone clapped. Its in the realm of believability.
I just want to point out something with the audio in this podcast. At some points, while the guy in the bottom right is talking you can see someone else say something but the audio is seemingly cut out. The timestamp of the second time of me noticing this is at 16:26 Guy in the middle starts to say something but his audio is missing. Would love if you lads could look into fixes for that in the future. Such as everyone recording their mic with audacity or something and then syncing that with the footage. Edit of a new timestamp 17:15, 18:16, 20:53, 37:51
So why don't they arrest stand up comedians for all the jokes they make that involve some kind of violence? I guess you have to have a sarcasm licence now?
@@Keep701 there was no evidence gathered. the full transcript is available online where he clearly states it was sarcasm in the chat, he had the tor browser but no illlegal files downloaded.

This dude fits in with you four very well. Like, honestly, you could probably just keep him as a personality on your podcast and it would function just as normal.
This guy got actual jail time with no proof.. scapegoated.
Sabin Figaro Thanks for seeing through the bullshit, haha.

Josh Pillault that should be the name of your book. Runescapegoated: my story on justice, videos games, and shithead 14 year olds
he's legit it's not bs look it up
10 minutes in, this guy is ridiculously smart and well spoken. Such a shame people like this get shafted today.
Faithleap thanks for joining the livestream
@@JoshPillault hope all goes well now, don't be too edgy cause sensitive FBI agents might get offended
@Alex Yes he was. So was George Washington, MLK, Ghandi, and most people who made a positive impact on the world. They're all still smart no matter how you look at it. I get the point you're trying to make though.
Oh sure but when a middle Eastern guy says the same thing yall lose your fucking mind. This is white privilege if I ever seen. Any other race would be gone in Guantanamo.
@Alex Charles Manson told poor down on their luck people that he would make him famous and they believed him. He was more or less offering losers the chance to have everything at an attainable price.
If joking about school shootings online is worthy of a prison sentence I deserve a death sentence for the shit I have said online over the past decade, I have said the most creative and deliberately offensive garbage from insults to threats to people in person and especially online and I do it because I think it is funny.
ive said worse on ps4 party's and this guy got 6 years, in that case give me the death sentence lmaoooo
Fr LMFAOOOOOO
Ive said... dark dark things, capital punishment is only fit for a man that has commited mass racial genocide three times over against eight different minorities
I mean you probably would get jail time too if you're saying stuff worse than making threats you're going to "recreate columbine" and "blow people's brains out". Somehow I think you're full of shit and want to be hyperbolic for the memes but if not then you've just been fortunate no one took your idiotic statements seriously and reported them.
@@b.j.blazkowicz9169 i did say worse.. I said the n word.. Hard r
@@MinistryPhenom anyone offended by anything should start back from kindergarden, like how sensitive do people have to be. Making something into a myth is the worst thing imaginable that's why so many atrocities repeat.
Its funny when someone with a southern accent, mimicks someone with a southern accent.
It’s even funnier, when people think, you need to put a comma, after every small pause in a sentence.

Tom Wall Oh it’s not a comedic pause
@@Chrisiscool46 dude he used ONE comma. Jesus fuck
Chris Talley I don’t, understand, your, accent.
I like this guy. He's accountable for his actions, understands his punishment and got royally shafted yet still seems like he's got a good head on his shoulders. He's skeptical but not bitter. The lady was right, he is charming and speaks eloquently. Even after all they did to you I believe you got a bright future ahead. Thanks for the upload boys.
he does seem genuine and like a decent person, but he definitely left out a lot of other types of not good things he did.
Imagine getting arrested for making a edgy joke in *Runesape*
Edit:I just wanted to make a joke. Not start a debate. But it's coo
hi Bloo. btw wobba wobba
Piss Ass Ok, I would be pissed if he spent 6 years in jail for JUST joking about it online, because that’s a violation of free speech. But what this kid did and what he had on his PC is way beyond just a joke. I’m wondering if he was mentally okay, honestly. That’s just not normal.
Cygnus' Edge idk it seems like a lot she said he said in those documents. He seemed like a typical edgy online kid, with the added detriment of substance abuse. the search stuff is alarming, but seeing as he had no prior offenses he should have gotten a much lighter sentence with mandatory anger management/counseling. He had and has issues, definitely. But not 6 years of federal prison issues
#1 ratbag he did nothing illegal tho. He definitely deserved to serve SOME time but 6 years? Seems excessive.
Edit, sorry, he did do illegal things, but nothing had come from those alarming files he had. You can’t arrest and sentence people for crimes they haven’t committed, or at least it’s very hard to prove and go through with
#1 ratbag no, that’s a pretty harsh punishment for threats. People get less for certain violent crimes, where they actually went through with attacking someone. The guy was fucked mentally, no doubt, but we gotta put it in perspective of US law and what other sentencing practices look like for far more serious crimes. Idk, the guys no saint and he did his time so I guess you think he got what he deserves and hopefully he’ll move past this and keep his proverbial nose clean
Josh should try to get on Joe Rogans podcast. I feel like they'd vibe well because of Joe's interest in domestic terrorism and security. Joe's practically in love with Edward Snowden.
I think alot of people admire or appreciate Edward Snowden I'm one of em for the fact that he was willing to expose the misuse of surveillance technology on a scale that was insane everyone always suspected/knew they invaded our privacy but the extent and proof he provided proved how big it really was now he's been forced to find asylum in russia which is ridiculous he should be thanked for what he did not condemned.
@@jamescaico7980 I think most people respect Snowden. The only people who don't are the government and the idiots who base their opinions on what that same governnent tells them. Its sad that there are so many people who just listen to whatever they are told is good or bad and not an ounce of skepticism goes through them.
Theo's be good
Jackson is so stunned by the stories he hasn't moved the entire time it's crazy how shocked he is.

Feng Bao I see a lot of people like you sending this link. Do you realize that everything written there is what he was “accused” of? Not proven or challenged in court? Like they didn’t include the falsification of his ex gfs testimony and so on. Because he pleaded guilty the case will not contain his defense arguments.
Feng Bao good job. You’ve listened to this podcast and still managed to became the sheep they’re talking about. Dumbass kid

What a joke of a judge this person is not fit for the job they need to have an understanding of the world.....every COD lobby would be in jail if this was the case
Well.. someone died because of this.
What a joke of a culture and society.
"Kids just say no to drugs.......except these drugs....and these....and these....side effects may include suicidal ideation and psychosis. That should cure you from fidgetting in the classroom.
......oh no our kids are shooting heir classmates. It must be Doom II and Marylin Manson"
@\f_a/ That's a ridiculous assumption. There are tons of super active gamers and developers(plus other people who works behind a desk) that have active social lives and are doing great in real life. Judging gamers is so 2005. You're just salty we got to choose our own careers that we love and you are busy burgers for Ronald McDonalds.
But this kid needed a life, that's the result of letting your kid sit online 24/7 and not being active offscreen. Sadly, someone died because he loved to dox and having kids swatted. he deserve all the time he got and more for attempting to escape custody several times.
@@NineteenEighty8 Nobody died because of this. Why do you keep saying that bullshit? Do you have me confused with someone else?
This is way better than I thought it would be ngl
Nastypatty Same ;)
this has been eye opening and awersome!
The kid tells him " Kill Yourself " Which actually causes more death regularly over internet if people are sensitive enough and take it to the heart too much, yet he goes into a prison for basically trying to trigger that kid back for talking trash to him… WTF is wrong with that system there?
It's just like getting banned for shit talking back. Whoever is the smaller, pussier man sends the report and they're the one that get's trusted. It's as retarded as not Columbining kids.
If being told kill yourself on the internet makes you do it, you shouldn't be using the internet. LOL
Yay it’s fucked what happened but wine much
that dude has the perfect amount of southern country in his voice where it's not hick, but its as close to a smooth Matthew McConaughey that you can get lol
When I was in high school my school almost expelled me because someone told a lie that I was gonna shoot up the school. The principal at my school kept telling me she had video proof. She never showed me the video. I think the officer who worked at the school at the time told her to say that. I was suspended for 3 weeks. I went to the board of education and she lied to their faces telling them I was gonna shoot two dudes in the head. Which she 100% made up. I had nothing on my record and I could have went to jail because of her. I'm glad I was 17 at the time or I could have been in a similar situation to Josh.
except he actually said those things. He is trash human.
@@Undisputed_mma nope you are a trash human
@@Undisputed_mma except it was all jokes :/
I swear principles or basicly any higher up in the education system is a shitty human being.
Yea I got sent to a different school for a year and got six months probation cuz someone did the same thing to me

FunnyestKid well he was in prison for six years, I’m sure it can be kinda tough know how much the world has changed
Honestly he'd probably make a great reaction/review channel.
Someone who's missed 6 years of Movies and pop culture? I'd watch
@@apatheticviewer234 he actually does make reaction vids, along with some other random videos
Generally people that go to prison come out acting similar to the time period that they went in as to try to relive the years that they missed out on in prison
I thought him violating his parole was him going back onto RuneScape
Lol
Zealoton showed immense concentration during this podcast, what amazing talent. He can fix his eyes on one singular spot without blinking for a whole hour. This man... he frightens me.
How do you not spend every day furious for something so trivial?

@#1 ratbag Jeez every time I do an interview someone takes it upon themselves to go copy/paste this everywhere. Watch my videos.

Thanks America and UK, for arresting people over jokes.
hi Fritz. btw wobba wobba
@@JODRecaps fuck off, JOD.
We forget about China? The biggest offender of this?
Fritz Philogene II it isn’t mentioned but he was found to have multiple folders on his computer named ‘columbine’ and ‘serial killers’ both containing detailed breakdowns of murders and the events of columbine... however this doesn’t mean he would have gone through with it, and did not need to be jailed for 6 years... he could have been on a watch list and maybe not allowed firearms but his entire 20’s are gone now
All he really needed was a medical evaluation or something similar where they just put you in a mental hospital for 3 days cuz i went there for screaming and threatening the councelors at this high school meeting about my grades
35 minutes into the podcast before I realized the top left was a picture not just some guy really good at listening
Bro. Josh needs to be a permanent staple of the podcast. He would be suuuuch a good addition from what I've heard so far. He'd add a hilarious perspective to the show.
the fact that he knows dethklok just makes me like him even more. he’s genuinely one of the best guests you guys have ever had. solid dude, glad he’s doing better after being dealt a shit hand
This dude's so positive for the shit he went through, and gave some pretty amazing advice.
can we get some donations for this man ... The government may have let him down but we might be able to take the sting out of it a bit.
I want to be like Josh, he came back swinging with a positive and healthy mindset even after 6 years in prison for some stupid shit.

What happened?
This happened to my friend, he reposted a meme about shooting up schools as a joke and the police showed up and sent him to jail for a while and he was on probation for a year and a half. They totally embarrassed and ruined his life for no reason.

Still does not mean that it occurred.
I just want to point out something with the audio in this podcast. At some points, while the guy in the bottom right is talking you can see someone else say something but the audio is seemingly cut out. The timestamp of the second time of me noticing this is at 16:26 Guy in the middle starts to say something but his audio is missing. Would love if you lads could look into fixes for that in the future. Such as everyone recording their mic with audacity or something and then syncing that with the footage.

I guess you have to have a sarcasm licence now?

it took me 20 mins to realize jackson's face was frozen. I'd look over every so often and figured he was just paying close attention.
This is easily my favorite episode yet. Josh is a great dude we can all learn a lot from him
From 17-22 I spent a lot of time going in and out of jail simply because I couldn't afford their ridiculous restitution prices because I was homeless and trying to finish my education. It ruined me for a while, still have PTSD / Anxiety from my experiences.
