Student gets arrested for violent essay

Ill. Student Charged Over Violent Essay

A high school senior was arrested after writing that "it would be funny" to dream about opening fire in a building and having sex with the dead victims, authorities said.

***This will hurt poetry and freedom of speech.  But what the heck.  For me, there should be responsibility, not just freedom.  Violence, for some is poetry.  Now, if it goes unchecked, it will turn into obsession.

I just hope that they don't treat the student as a criminal.  It will not help him.  Counselling him would be better.
