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

Do we live in America or Russia now? lets throw in Cuba too
This is rediculous and if i was the parents I would sue some A$$

 

Anybody else find it funny that spanking a teacher is the serious part of his post?

 

My bet is that his grandparents are very religious and when they found the stories about zombies they flipped out because they thought their grandson was doing some sort of devil's work.

Older people (especially the very religious ones that I have encountered) seem to usually be much more put off by zombies and monsters and such than younger people and don't tend see them as the humorous horror characters that most of us do.

 

that'll teach that terrorist SOB

good work men

 

Its Kentucky.
They are pretty close to Zombie status as it is.

 

so this is what they do to the children of war heroes?!?!

 

I think cause it's the weekend I'm a bit slow, but what does that have to do with anything??

Edit- Now I get it, next time I will read the NAMES in a story...

 

the kids name is william poole, no? so is the name on the tombstone.

 

The story probably had him running around the high school blowing the zombies brains out. The grandparents read about him taking a gun to school and shooting everybody in the head and they flip out. Assuming that the journal actually mentions zombies at some point, the police should have released him and apologized. If the zombie part was set up elsewhere, and all they have to go on is a story about the kid going around killing everybody at a high school by shooting them in the head, then they are just trying to cover their asses from having a nother possible Columbine incident.

Of course, all of this is just speculation.
