16 year old Pink fan paid 460-odd to be in the mosh pit at Pink's concert last night [in Melbourne] and TWITtered some crap about a bomb...and 'blowing up the Rod Laver arena'.... His face was identified from his page....and he was located in the arena.....carted out by security and didn't get to see anything of the concert. He now faces Police criminal charges of terrorism [and notification he will NOT be getting a refund].   You rug-rats of the 'Me Generati...
