"My story is based on fiction," said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies."

Next time you write a story for school, write something about an utopia. And how great communism is. At the same time, make sure you praise whoever the president is. And write about how evil those terrorists in the middle east are and how you are willing to sacrifice your life for the dear leader. Most of all, read it aloud in front of the class and make sure you got tears in your eyes. To show everyone you mean it. :)

The story is from 2004, lex18 should really date their articles :)
All charges were dropped in 2005

He claims that what his grandparents found in his journal and turned into police was a short story he wrote for English class.

You know, it's these paranoid ramblings that make it impossible for me to take anything you say seriously, even if you do have a point.

And how great communism is

... why would that make teachers in the U.S. happy? Even the Democrats are as right wing as most of the ordinary right wing partiess in other countries. That's hilarious.

yea , try to resist using the word "communism" as it is almost synonymous with "terrorist" in most americans minds. it illustrates what a great job the right wing scarerists have done recycling that old cold war fear .

The only thing that the word communist brings to mind is the RuSsian Reversal.
"In America, you watch TV, in Soviat Russia, TV watches YOU!"

2nd post up there, bud.

i meant where can i read the zombie story the kid wrote lol

its prolly just a ripoff of that one movie where the guy used ballpoint pens full of speed to kill the highschool zombies , or were they vampires ? anyway , that movie totaly sucked

hahaha the faculty, with matt damon. god that movie was a total waste of time. I watched it because i heard there was bubz in it but that didnt happen until the end.

Turns out schools take this kind of stuff seriously. I got in trouble yesterday (GAH! WHY IRONY, WHY!) For having a few pictures in my sketchbook of guns, and cigarettes. Course, I DID accidentally turn said sketchbook in, so it's mainly my fault, but still... I just told them I was a comic artist and most of the stuff in my sketchbook is just concept stuff for stories. They seemed to believe me, I got a warning. (Oh, and there was also a picture of my IT Teacher looking stupid, but hey, it's just art, I'm not going to pull a columbine... Why are you all looking at me like that?)
So let this be a lesson to you all. Creativity is BAD! :)
