I knew it was only a matter of time before I found a story like this one. Due to tragedy at Virginia Tech, one nut job and some crazy writing they found after the fact we might as well cancel all creative writing classes around the country. I don’t care how many morbid stories someone writes, some people make millions doing it for a living, the stories will never accurately predict whether the writer is going to snap one day and start killing people for real. However since hindsight is 20/20 we have to deal with a parade of idiots on every TV channel telling us that somebody should have been able to predict the tragedy based on what had been written.
Unfortunately the douche bags running school district 155 in Cary Illinois were persuaded by said parade of idiots. As a result high school senior Allen Lee has been arrested and charged with two counts of disorderly conduct for following the directions on the creative writing assignment he was given by his teacher.
Here are the directions he was given:
“write whatever comes to your mind. Do not judge or censor what you are writing,”
Here is what he wrote:
“Blood, sex and booze. Drugs, drugs, drugs are fun. Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, s…t…a…b…puke. So I had this dream last night where I went into a building, pulled out two P90s and started shooting everyone, then had sex with the dead bodies. Well, not really, but it would be funny if I did.”
Sure what he wrote is fucked up but it looks like it follows the directions to me. Maybe the school district should speak to the teacher and tell her to append “Anyone who submits an essay containing violence will be subject to arrest†at the end of her assignment directions.
