The psychotic terroist type. Those grandfathers should be in jail, not the boy.

A normal pair of grandparents would have spoken with the boy first. Not sent him to jail.

Now he's gonna pay for writing horror stories... if things got to go like that, let's arrest the guy who wrote the Doom movie story. HE is making a terrorism act.

Heh, only in America.

Pieter Enis · March 2nd, 2005, 07:49 AM

Man, sometimes those people in governments can be so stupid!
Oh well, hope he doesn't get sent to jail.
And I agree on the fact that those grandparents should be put in jail.

THATS RETARDED!!!!!!

Americans might as well just give up communitcation all together....apparently nothing we say or write is legal.....we will just go back to banging on cowhide drums with sticks to convey messages...

just try not to bang anything that might stir up controversy.....

She-wolf · March 2nd, 2005, 08:51 AM

Yeah it is rather crazy.
For that matter then you'd may as well go and also jail the writers who have already written stories involving terrorists, film writers, directors...need I go on? I think the thing some people fail to realise is this; as sad as it is terrorism is a thing which is very real and since 2001 it's made people realise that. However while people do need to be aware of it, there is no need for this level of paranoia and suspicion at every turn. The time would be better spent going after people who are an actual threat than cases like this, and making a good job of it.

Aliotroph? · March 2nd, 2005, 10:11 AM

Ugh, stupid grandparents, stupid cops, and stupid government. Besides mass muder != terrorism. The point of terrorism is to cause fear, but killing a load of people (or zombies) is just killing. It's sad that the people in charge of dealing with laws are often the type who will do anything to have more of them.

This clears the fact up that old folks shouldn't complain. They say: "The youth of these days...(negative)" whilst WE (the younger ones <60) should say: "The oldies of these days....*sigh*"
Anyway it's plain idiotic what the grandfolks did to their own grandson. They got him a 5000 dollar bond and a potential spot in the prison....

insane

DoomedAce · March 2nd, 2005, 10:26 AM

That's just sad. Pure bureaucracy, that's what it is.

Unconscious_Doomer · March 2nd, 2005, 11:32 AM

Insane.

Why the hell would you get arrested for doing that?

Like I said, bureaucracy. Laws are taken too literally. Or there's a target set by bureaucrats for a police department in order to "gauge their performance", like, "write an x-number of fines" or "prevent an x-number of terrorist activities"

Aliotroph? · March 2nd, 2005, 06:45 PM

What I want to know is why would anyone turn their own family in before finding out???

Mystic · March 2nd, 2005, 10:36 PM

Maybe they turned him in because the stuff he wrote isnt quite what he is claiming it is now that he is caught, has anyone seen the actual text that is causing all the fuss or is everyone believing what the accused is saying in an attempt to wriggle out of it??

Aliotroph? · March 2nd, 2005, 10:40 PM

Who cares anyway? I don't think writing anything you don't distribute should be a crime.

Mystic · March 2nd, 2005, 10:45 PM

think about it, if you knew someone who is a bit unstable, like that columbine nutter for example, and noticed he had made some notes in his diary about his plans to murder his schoolmates, would you ignore it?? would you risk becoming his first victim by questioning him about it??

Wicked Anime Kid · March 2nd, 2005, 10:50 PM

I know I would, besides, we are all different from each-other so who says I'm going to be his first victim or victim. He might have only wrote it done because of anger....

You can't tell what's going on in his mind that's for sure so you have to be careful but turning the kid in. I was thinking of sending him to a psychiatrist or whatever, but not to court...

Mystic · March 2nd, 2005, 10:53 PM

well, dont you think his grandparents know the guy fairly well, they will know if he is a nutcase or a joker as he claims. I reckon the fact they turned him in shows that not only were they worried about the content of his notes but were also afraid to confront him about it which suggests he is a violent person
