Zombie Writer's Alert

~JustinStarwind:iconJustinStarwind: reports, November 22, 2006
Okay. I am crazy about zombies. Ever since I seen the orignal Dawn of the Dead 6 years ago, to the first time I've ever played the Resident Evil series. I have dreamt of them, wrote about them, drawn about them, heck! Me and Argus have even had full flegged conversastions about what we'd do if zombies came to our city, school, or world. And now I am being told I can be accused of Terrorist Threatening Charge if I write about them.

I. Am. Pissed.

A eighteen year old high school student, from Kentucky, was arrested Tuesday for making "Terrorist Threats", by writing a story for his English class about zombies overtaking his school. His grandparents found it and turned it into police.

He swears up and down that it was a work of fiction, but the police say, "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky."

Bull crap.

It's. Fucking. Art.

I've made a lot of stories of zombies overtaking my school. If I ever get accused of this stuff I don't know what I'll do. Kill myself or something.

You can read about it more over here. [link]
Let's all pray for this kid. I am.

That guys grandparents are pathetic excuses for grandparents.

How can writing a story about SOMETHING THAT COULD NOT HAPPEN be seen as a terrorist threat? What the hell are they expecting him to do? Reanimate corpses from the local cemetery and train them to use guns and go hunt down the mayor? :|

This is very saddening, but doesn't surprise me a bit. The United States has turned into a totalitarian, facistic police state with no respect to human rights.

Thanks for posting this. Those who don't speak out are a part of the crime.
:iconavhaz:
Pathetic. Something should be done about that moronic legal system of yours. :roll:

This is crazy, a story totally fictiction getting in trouble like this. Then again society brings out fears are the cause of such nonsense to the point that fear runs the society. The US has a problem with this closing the nation from the outside world. I'm lucky that I live here in Canada. Where we are more open and tolerent, but even that is slipping thanks to the attitude of government from the Liberal government of the past to the now in power Conservative government of present day.

So f*cking disgusting.

Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're our own imagination.
:iconbaita-of-the-camera:
This is insanly wrong!

Why in the world would his grandparents turn him in is the most confusing part of this.
