Student writes fictional story about zombies then is arrested for terroristic threats

9/11 changed everything. It's all excused when you mention those words.

 

These nuts existed before 9/11. Scary.

 

There's more to this story if his grandparents turned him in.

 

That is what I was thinking Bobrek.

BUT...if it is a fictional story, it is stupid.

It is getting like minority report, pretty soon thinking of doing a crime will get you arrested.

I'm going to have to disagree here....

 

Imagine Stephen King or Edgar Allen Poe in high school today.

 

This is a joke. Wait until the ACLU gets their hands on this one. Zombies? Can this kid raise the dead? I know what happened. His illiterate grandparents were embarassed that their grandson could even write a story and turned him in to the cops.

 

what kind of grandparent would turn their grandson in. especially for something like that. They didn't even talked to him about it, and let him explain it. What were they afraid of? that he would summon some zombies and kill them

 

That's the reason I think bobrek was onto something. Most grandpaprents wouldn't do something drastic unless they are nute or there is more to the story.

Just wait a few weeks and se what leaks out. Perhaps the grandparents were wrong, or perhaps thy did the right thing.

 

I had a friend who's grandparents wouldn't give their grandson an alibi about a felony assault even though he was at their house during the alleged assault. The grandparents were pissed at him and his mom for some reason and he ended up in jail for it.

Just because they are grandparents doesn't mean they have any sense. I would even argue most grandparents don't have any sense.

 

It's a brave new world.

 

How do you know they didn't talk to him about it? How do you know what else may have been going on in their home?

 

Jesus Christ, thank God nobody found my journals in high school. I'd be arrested for sexual harrassment!

 

I didn't know it was a crime to sexually harrass yourself.....

 

If this kid is like one of those Loner kids that likes to write and no one understands him then his Grandparents might have thought something.

I would like to see what this kid was like in school and outside of school. I think how he interacted with people or he kept to himself had somethign to do with the grandparents mistaking it as a plot to do something like Colobine or whatever because those kids were kind of loners etc.

Almost all the great writers at my school kept to themselves especially ones that were into science ficiton and stuff like that...so i think they might have taken that and judged a little too quickly.

 

This is ridiculous, zombies can't premeditate murder.

 

Well, you can't rape the willing!

Nah, but seriously, I'd have totally been busted for "premeditating" slapping my hot newspaper teacher's ass.

 

i do not know that. Nobody knows the entire story(atleast nobody on this bbs). But if you believe the boy, then if the grandparents did talk to them he would have told them it was a fictional story, and then i do not think the grandparents would report him to the police.\
Otherwise if they wanted t get back at him for something. they would probobly no talk to him about the fact that they are planning it. So i think they did not talk to him.

Ofcourse nobody know exactly what happened. But i think it is strange that somebody would report their grandchildren to the police for something as stupid as a fictional story. But there are strange people in the world.
