Student in High School zombie terror threat

The Register | March 8, 2005

Comment: We have highlighted this case before but this new article sheds new light. It was actually his own grandparents that 'informed' on him. They would have been proud members of the East German Stasi.

An 18-year-old US student is today behind bars after police uncovered his plot to raise a zombie army and attack his high school. The wannabe Papa Doc Duvalier's chilling plan was uncovered after the youth's grandparents discovered his written proposal for the outrage in Winchester, Kentucky, lex18.com reports.

Student Arrested For Writing Zombie Fiction Story




Mercifully, William Poole was cuffed before he could execute his macabre scheme. He faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge after investigators discovered "materials at Poole's home that outline possible acts of violence aimed at students, teachers, and police".

Naturally, the fledgling Baron Samedi has claimed that the writings were nothing more than a short story he penned for his English class. He said: "My story is based on fiction. 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."

"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. Half the people at high school know me. They know I'm not that stupid, that crazy."

Despite his protestations, the authorities have wisely decided to cage the miscreant youth. Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill noted: "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky."

Accordingly, a judge last week reflected the seriousness of threatening your high school with annihilation at the hands of the undead by raising Poole's bond from one to five thousand dollars at the request of prosecutors. He is currently reflecting on his folly in the Clark County Detention Center.

Hey dont laugh, i know people who oppose gun control based on the fact dead people might return from the grave like dawn of the dead.

[amsterdam]

[juggalo420]

that is such bullshit, fuck the prosecuter and judge

well after those wierdo loser kids shot up columbine people don't mess around anymore.better safe than sorry.

The loser kids were on anti-depressants.

Now this here is bullshit, I would love to know what kind of evidence they found. A pen and paper? Microsoft word?
I could understand a hitlist, but a story about zombies not specific to his high school?
I'd love to read it before I draw conclusions.
Perhaps he could have been held for questioning, sent to a psychiatrist, oh no wait..then he'd get on anti-depressants for sure and really do something crazy. Held for questioning maybe...but a felon 'terrorist' charge? $5,000 bail?!
If I write a book about raising an army of zombies to invade some fictional country and overthrow its government am I going to be arrested and prosecuted for treason?

i know that anti-depressants are bad,but it dosent excuse what they did.

[pisshead]

you certainly don't stop it by insituting thought crime and having your idiot stasi grandparents turn you in.

[amsterdam]

[pisshead]

read the book 1984 by george orwell (real name eric blair)...
