A sad day indeed when in the state of Kentucky if you write anything, even fiction, that concerns violence and a school, it's considered a felony and a terroristic act. This poor boy wrote a story about zombies, of all things, overrunning a school and he's in jail. He made no mention of what school, what teachers or students, he was just writing in his english class journal.

Stupid A$$h&*es! All I can say is Thank God these type of lameo administrators and laws were not in place when I was in High School, or I probably would have been locked up forever!

Scary people.

Regards,

Norm
 
God Damn! What is the world coming too? And a Freakin Felony fer cryin out loud!!!!
Look what they're trying too do too an innocent boy's record!!!!
I'm with you Norm, hell if I was going too school in this day and age and did the things I did when I was in school in the 40's & 50's I would be locked down so tight I would never be allowed loose on the streets!!!!

Hell fire when I was in school we all carried at least a big pocket knife, usually the largest Stockman we could find.
And I often carried a good sized fixed blade too school along with tomahawks and other such things.
Crap! We even made knives in 8th and 9th grade shop and were graded on them!!!! :rolleyes: :grumpy: :(
 
I made a percussion pistol for an American history class in Junior High (Middleschool???.) Wouldn't actually shoot, but it looked like it could. I'd still be servin' time on that charge
Who are these people protecting us from? :mad:
I sent this link to my newspaper and TV news. Hope they pick up on it.
 
It's almost funny in a wierd way. The teacher had to inform the principal who had to inform da cops. All the way up the "food chain" we have people who have bought the same philosophy that all weapons and aggression is bad.

I wonder what else they teach during the day? If that philosphy colors the other subjects in the school then the next generation is in a world of hurt. :grumpy:

Public schools... Home of the next inquisition.

Bruise the way I read it it was his grandparents who reported it too the police....

"Poole told LEX 18 that the whole incident is a big misunderstanding. He claims that what his grandparents found in his journal and turned into police was a short story he wrote for English class."

Maybe they know something or suspect something that no one else knows or suspects, but if it were one of my grandkids I would confront them with it if I were suspicious.
That is unless I was askeered of him er sumthin. And that is also happening a bit too often these days too from what I understand.:(

Yeah, I posted before I read the story. I guess I'm still mad about the kid pointing the breaded chicken finger and saying "bang".
 
I wonder if they will surround the stadium with SWAT and kill all of the football players when the coach says "kill em!" and the cheerleaders say "fight fight fight!" ??
 
I got in trouble in the 60's for writing a story where a Genie wiped out the entire school and crushed my teacher while she was plotting more horrible homework.
I designed a Mother's day card with my mother's tombstone on the cover
It said something like; 'I'll see you to your grave" and on the inside was to be written, "because I love you and will see you all the way through"

No matter how many times the adminsitrators demanded an apology for that card, I would not give it, not admit it was a bad card.
My mother laughed her head off about it.

A few years ago when my son was in Jr. Hi (He's about to graduate now, and has been accepted at a good university) he was wearing a black cape his mother made for him. Administrators kept telling him to remove it because it reminded them of Columbine. He would remove it and then put it on again when they left. We resolved the situation by pulling him out of the school and home schooling him through the Jr. High School years.

It's a kinder, gentler world now, Bruise. We don't really like to talk about violence in the schools now.

You may not know the history of WWII. It goes like this:

A man named Adolf Hitler said some bad things. A lot of people were offended. Many of the countries in Europe sent people to argue with Mr. Hitler. Mr. Hitler argued back. Mr. Hitler didn't even want to argue with the Jewish people so he put them in a special place where he wouldn't have to argue with them. Then the Japanese people started arguing with the Americans and other people in Asia. Americans debated with the Germans and Japanese, but they couldn't convince them not to hurt people's feelings. Some American scientists didn't like all of the arguing, so they went down to New Mexico and thought and thought to see if they could come up with a convincing argument. After a while they thought they had a good one, so a pilot flew their argument over Japan, and dropped it on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When the people saw the argument the American scientists had come up with, they thought it was a convincing one, and everyone decided to stop arguing.
 
Good stuff and thanks. I find it is not easy to write measured responses when your blood is boiling and your blood pressure is going right through the roof.
 
Here's the difference:

You and I, we can call our congressional representatives in the state and national legislature and complain!
We can vote people out who make stupid laws and vote people in who we agree with, or better yet, WE can run for congress and do it ourselves.
We can write letters to the newspapers, put up signs and we can CHANGE the laws.
We have access, it is OUR government.
That is democracy.
Noone ever had that like we do. Excercise your rights!
 
Isn't it interesting that our nation, which at least aspired to be a nation based upon tolerance and has struggled for generations to realize that aspiration, now has some folks who pride themselves on intolerance of anything they find disturbing.

Danny is right. We need to stop these twits.
 
Whether the State can loose and bind
In Heaven as well as on Earth:
If it be wiser to kill mankind
Before or after the birth---
These are matters of high concern
Where the State-kept schoolmen are;
But Holy State ( we have lived to learn )
Endeth in Holy War.

Whether The People be led by the Lord.
Or lured by the loudest throat:
If it be quicker to die by the sword
Or cheaper to die by vote---
These are the things we have dealt with once,
( And they will not rise from their grave )
For Holy People, however it runs,
Endeth in wholly Slave.

Whatsoever for any cause,
Seeketh to take or give
Power above or beyond the Laws,
Suffer it not to live!
Holy State or Holy King---
Or Holy People's will---
Have no truck with the senseless thing.
Order the guns and kill!
Saying---after---me---

Once there was The People---Terror gave it birth;
Once there was The People and it made a Hell of Earth
Earth arose and crushed it, Listen, O ye slain! Once there was The People---it shall never be again!

Rudyard Kipling, "Macdonough's Song"
 
For the most part, being offended is not a right which requires civil or criminal action to correct.
It is strange the most intolerant say they care deeply about everything.

Amen to that Bro!

Hey, in my school, Georgia Military Academy, we carried guns.

WWII M1. "Gas operated, semi automatic, shoulder weapon, SIR!" 9 and one half pounds of real wood and real steel. I loved that gun.

For punishment we held them at arms length. When you couldn't hold them out any more, they gave you a pencil to hold at arms length until it hurt so bad and you felt like SUCH a wimp.. ..... But we NEVER thought about turning these weapons on the faculty. Maybe the cadet drill sargent (in your dreams), but we knew down deep (very deep) that he loved us recruits.

Got these M1s in the 8th grade. Wish I had mine now....

Guns were required by the faculty. Marched with them. Learned to stip them. Got our thumbs caught when the bolt slid shut too soon at inspections. Anybody know "M1 thumb?"

Didn't have any ammo, but 30-06 was not hard to find if we wanted it.

Now GMA is Woodward Academy. No guns.


WTF HAS HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY????? :mad: :mad: :mad:
