Man posted death threats on his Bebo site, court hears

A trained mechanic who used his social networking site to advertise the fact that he was going to shoot an acquaintance of his ex-girlfriends and that he would “do the prison time for it” has been jailed for three years.

Michael Mooney (aged 24), also then posted the charge sheet on his Bebo site that had resulted from his arrest for setting fire to his ex-girlfriend's car and pouring acid on her friend's boyfriend's car.
