He should be not have been arrested, and I feel his First Amendment right has been violated.

I was actualy going to post this.
It was the front page of the local paper.

But isn't the US the “country of freedom”..? how can this happen???

When you have retarded kids shooting in your school, this kind of shit happens.

Mooga · 04-27-2007, 09:16 PM

While I understand freedom of speach, and I'm a CRAZY suporter of it, the kid's stupidity is to blame. Everyone knows that the guy from VT wrote such storries. So why the HELL would he write such things unless he wanted to cause problems.

I guess he's very stupid or very smart......

skuLL · 04-27-2007, 09:18 PM

Fucking ridiculous.

Exactly. Instead of ignoring such things like they did for VT, they are actually going to do their jobs for once.

1ST AMENDMENT? WATS DAT LOL.

GambiT · 04-27-2007, 10:23 PM

a good friend of mine had something similar happen in high school...

he had to write an essay...he did...he didnt threaten anybody or anything...and he has never been a violent person(i've saved his ass a couple of times...i love violence) anyway...the cops went to his house and confiscated his DADS guns...and told him he could not walk at his graduation....

Innoc · 04-27-2007, 10:50 PM

Smart or not I think good judgment is what he lacks.

Thor-Stryker · 04-27-2007, 11:06 PM

killing spree, raping dead bodies? Bad judgment and a loser. Freedom of speech or not, he doesn't belong in our school system.

SizeableSSonic · 04-27-2007, 11:51 PM

Doesn't matter what anyone thinks, he's protected by a little something called the Constitution of the United States of America. It's his right as a U.S. citizen, like it or not.

own3r · 04-27-2007, 11:56 PM

Freedom of speech in law and in reality are mutually exclusive when people in power have money.

**mervaka** · 04-28-2007, 12:44 AM

haha, that dude's a legend! shouldnt have been arrested though.

Next thing you know martial law will be upon us. Instead of arresting maybe some surveillance first. If this is going to set the standard for writing maybe Stephen King and other authors of our movies and fiction books.

Most of these fuckers I do consider deeply disturbed. But yet you don't see them being arrested because of some pussy assed bitch English teacher and fucking little big man attitude cops. IMO

Doesn't that depend on what he wrote ?

I understand that he has 1st ammendment rights to spout bollocks but arent they conditional rights as opposed to universal right to say absolutely anything ?
