Aspiring Horror Writer Arrested in High School
The frag pattern from Columbine High School seems to be spreading. I must confess that I don't know a lot of facts in this case, and I have not read what it is the school officials and cops, not to mention his kinfolk, were all upset about . . . but my brain is screaming "what ever happened to the exercise of judgment???"
Have we let Osama inside of everyone's head? That's a win for him, if he can get Americans to do stupid stuff (NTSA anyone?) and call it reasoned defense against terrorism.
Daniel Boone wept.
Wow, Granny rats out the kid. Is this tough love, or the culmination of years of their grandkid being a werido who is scaring the heck out of them? No details. But narking out your own kin? Something seems to be rotten in the State of Kentucky . . .
As a matter of importance, family loyalty aside, let's take a look at education in Kentucky and ask about priorities.
Poole disputes that he was threatening anyone.
"It didn't mention nobody who lives in Clark County, didn't mention (George Rogers Clark High School), didn't mention no principal or cops, nothing,"
said Poole. "Half the people at high school know me. They know I'm not that stupid, that crazy."
If he is a senior in high school, and if that is a verbatim quote, I'd ask the folks at George Rogers Clark High School, and his family, to consider working on fundamental skills, such as speaking English, as a priority. Fix the basics, eh? He won't learn good grammar in prison.
Should Edgar Allen Poe have been arrested for writing "Telltale Heart?" After all, it was about murder . . . which is a felony in the state of Kentucky, Maryland, et all. :P

Quote: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.
