After bench trial in juvenile court, 17-year-old Respondent was found guilty of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (AUUW) and unlawful possession of a firearm (UPF). Among Respondents conditions of probation was that no illegal gang, guns, and drug activity be displayed on his social media, and that Respondent refrain from illegal gang activity. Prohibition on gang activity is not unconstitutionally vague. Order as to social media was reasonable and did not unreasonably burden Respondents first-amendment rights. (McBRIDE, concurring; GORDON, specially concurring.)
