Gotta love this Patriot Act, where grandparents are reporting their own kid's kids to the government as terrorists when they write a short story. When I was in school, they encouraged us to think. But that was ten years ago...

CLARK COUNTY
Student Arrested For Terroristic Threatening Says Incident A Misunderstanding

A George Rogers Clark High School junior arrested Tuesday for making terrorist threats told LEX 18 News Thursday that the "writings" that got him arrested are being taken out of context.

Winchester police say William Poole, 18, was taken into custody Tuesday morning. Investigators say they discovered materials at Poole's home that outline possible acts of violence aimed at students, teachers, and police.

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.

"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."

Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill.

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."

On Thursday, a judge raised Poole's bond from one to five thousand dollars after prosecutors requested it, citing the seriousness of the charge.

Poole is being held at the Clark County Detention Center.

Over-zelous Kentucky cops who dont have a clue, taking something out of context? Well Ive Never! Oh wait yes I have, and many times. This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. The real people to blame are the grandparents. First off, they should have known their grandson, and wether or not the document sounded like something he would do. Second, they should have read the story, carefully. Zombies should have tipped them off that it was fiction.
As for the cops. Why is it, in the southern states in particular. These police officers stick to their first instinct. No matter how insane it is. Even after it slaps them in the face that they have made a colosal mistake, they hold on for dear life and refuse to assess the situation intelligently. Come on guys, admitt it, you jumped the gun and completely ****ed up. Now let this kid go and try not to let it happen again.
