Student spams 400 people with death threat in Russia

In Russia, a 20-year-old sent out four hundred death threats saying “Death to Russian pigs and to you, freak!” to random phone numbers.

Authorities have reacted, catching the sender who was in fact Russian. His phone number was traced and he was arrested promptly. After he (Anton Shurubara) was caught, he said that he was joking around. “I wanted to see what people’s reactions would be,” he added.

The court placed him on one year of probation for racial hatred and a provocation to extremism.

Don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t see this as a joke. Not that I would be frightened, on the contrary. But why on Earth would someone do something like this is beyond me. Guess he deserves the punishment…
