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.

"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."

So this kid writes a short story about zombies attacking his high school. His grandparents find the story and turn it over to the authorities. Any story that contains a threat to a school is considered a felony in Kentucky so they charge the kid with making terrorist threats.
Really, is there no common sense anymore? Are kids not even allowed to write fiction anymore? Geez, had this kid written "War of the Worlds", he'd probably be facing life. Un-friggin-believable.
