Hey If no one hears from me in a while, it's cause I said this
"I'm going to overrun the White House with my Zombie/Demon army, and shove a pretzel down george's throat then duct tape his mouth shut so he can choke without making those disgusting sounds of death"
My personal guess is that it's something to do with the ensurance of school "safety." Ever since the Columbine shootings at that school, schools got really pathetic just to make sure nothing like that occured ever again. Although it was for the better, like searching pupils just incase they were holding illegal firearms, it did have it's silly moments. Some kid got expelled for pointing a chicken wing at a teacher and shouting POW! POW! The kid was 8 years old. So when a teenanger makes up a story about zombies attacking his school, well, it's obvious that it's going to get messy... in America anyway.
And before anyone notices, yes I did get that information from "Bowling for Columine."
To say that it happened because it was in america is absurd. This was a specialized case that has the odds stacked against it. There were just the right factors for it to come this far. How come when this kind of crap happens, no matter how rarely, people blame America's legal system and/or columnbine.
Headline should have been "Millions of Highschoolers not arrested for Zombie Stories"
there, that doesn't sound so ridiculous anymore does it.

They only see this happening to us because they look for it, but its pretty obvious that if people looked, you would find this same shit happening elsewhere in the world. Its fucked up to see that people can put down america so easyly, just because of shit like this. This is about what... 0.5% of what USA really is, & I'm tired of people pointing fingers at us because of it. It needs to stop...
Look at the past of other places in the world, you will find the same shit there. Your past is just currently our present & there is absolutly no way to kick USA in the ass because of it. Thought I will admit, atleast 50% of USA is wacked in the head, because obviously Bush was re-elected so. Dont forget about the other half of USA that is infact sain here.
Not sure, but I highly doubt someone is going to get arrested for Zombi Threats 2x, If someone was really hard core in proving the gultiness of other parts of the world, they can & will find it. I'm to lazy to do it though.
You're forgetting the fact that Europe spawned America (sort of). It's not America. It's just this one idiot. His fragle little mind has been altered by the Communist Public School system.
That b why non of klikerz spel to good, yo.
Fine Garbage since 2003.
CURRENT PROJECT:
-Paying off a massive amount of debt in college loans.
-Working in television.

Dude, the point is there was no guilt here. The kid just wrote a story about zombies in a school. He didn't even say it was his school.
Bush is an idiot, elected by idiots, but the other 49% of USA who didnt vote for him, are not the idiots (unless they voted by flipping a coin) & I think we deserve some credit. Bush is the reasion no one likes USA, & in 4 years, we'll be back to normal again (unless another idiot is elected)...
You know, not living outside the US you can't really guess at why nobody likes america. I assure you, we were none too fond of it even before bush came to power. His reelection pissed people off, but it wasn't all hugs and kisses before that.
First Bush? No. current Bush? Yes. Anyway, no countries are hugs & kisses with each other, but Bush didnt make it any better & I know that anyone outside america who has had the chance to know me via AIM or some other form of IM, they change views over USA, because they see all of us at first, as a load of people with are fingers up our asses.
Exactly, bush is a puppet, the interior appropriations committie members are the ones that get things done in america. He holds no real power, hes a figurehead.
Anyway I have seen a crapload of these kinds of stories coming from the UK, Germany, Canada, Japan.
There are bound to be more instances in the US because we are the third largest country by population. We also have more media coverage. Think of every little story like this that slips throught the cracks. The fact is that it didn't happen because of geographical location, the wrong people made certain decicions at wrong time.
I doubt they even know what the patriot act is, congress didnt even read it.

"Anyway I have seen a crapload of these kinds of stories coming from the UK"
Nobody in the UK has been arrested for writing a story about zombies, I can guarantee you that.
In the UK, we seem to get criminals being let off all the time. In the US, they seem to get people being arrested for stupid shitty things like that. We could do with some kind of middle ballance, UK car thieves and burglars actually getting put in jail no matter their age, and US citizens being able to write innocent fictional stories without being arrested.
Stupid types of stories involving the laws or school systems of certain countries.
Phizzy, reading fark for over four years nearly every day, with 30 front page stories each day I have seen so many that I can't pinpoint every story from the guardian, sun, and register.
Anyway this kid hasn’t been prosecuted, convicted, or incarcerated for writing the story, some kind of miscommunication must have happened along the way for it to procede even this far. Even in Winchester, Kentucky, the entire population knows that this is ridiculous and laughable.

Damn it man have these people completely lost their minds?! God, those must be the dumbest people I have ever read about! Necromancy, puh! That's just plain stupid, go and learn common sense!
I usually get angry of very, very, very dumb things.
We dont know the whole story, only what we can read.
But it does seem a bit over the top to imprison a child for writting a story about zombies attacking a school. Unless the police have some really good evidence ... I am quite sure it would be safe to leave him outside.
There is some truth about this could not have happened in Western Europe ... well not in Denmark anyway (hardly in Western Europe). We tend to take things a bit more relaxed and balanced whereas the US tend to "Shoot first, ask afterwards".
A couple summers ago my friend and I made a movie called Zombies A Go Go. It was a Teen Comedy except they get attacked by Zombies. The climax of the movie took place at the high school dance. The zombies get in and bit everyone. This film, when completed, was played AT THE HIGH SCHOOL... in one case I think a teacher put it on instead of English class. And we all became local celebrities.
It's a good thing the school never found our shooting script or they would've realized our horrible plan for world domination via zombie attacks.
Last time I had lobster, it reminded me of biology class. Except in biology class the professor didn't make you eat the frog when you were finished.
I wrote a story for school in which a teen that got picked on came to school with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic rifle, and took hostage of everyone at an assembly.
Then I got into AP english.

at my school i got in trouble for writing my "how to help out the community" paper about killing the bums to solve the homeless problem, and then employing people to bury them to solve the unemployment problem
i once got highest grade for a short story about a guy called Bonzo who got drunk and jumped under a truck and wasn't accepted to hell and had to live on!
I wrote an essay about a guy who got his eyes clawed out by a cat because he didn't listen to the advice of a computer program. 4 pages, 50% dialog, got an A for it, and it was for one of those very, very important exams
