Yeah, that's the part that is the most depressing. Innocent or not, you're still screwed over by it. It's like with sex offence accusations and such. Simply being accused is enough to ruin your life, even if proven innocent. Crying wolf can do as much damage as an actual wolf. It's like the witch hunts. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, if you got accused of being a witch, you were fuckin burnt toast. Throw her in the lake and hold her down, if she drowns to death then she wasn't a witch.Crimsane said:
Former Teacher Acquitted of Videogame Massacre Threat
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
So... what teacher anywhere in America can afford the ammo, not to mention the firearm, to kill 500 people? Did they think he was going to set off a bomb, or run around and stab 500 people? Over someone taking his markers?!
Thank you, rats. So glad they tell kids to rat out any "suspicious" comments to the authorities instead of using common sense in a situation like that. And where was the principal in this whole debacle? How did the school not consider this an internal "problem" before calling the fuzz? "Zero tolerance" makes sense to a point, and you can't always predict how serious a threat is, but they always seem to over-react instead of the school possibly taking the heat of not doing anything in case shit happens. I wouldn't be surprised if this teacher got tazered when the cops showed up.

You, sir, are full of win.ciortas1 said:It is time...
And I just said that America has surprised me with the FBI stupidity.
OT: Seriously? I've made worse allegations of violence, murder and torture pertaining to a video game in school out-loud to my compatriots before and I wasn't even so much as given a slap on the wrist. This is just another reason that our country is spiraling down the crapper...
It is only paranoia if they aren't out to get you. I KNOW they are all out to get me... No sudden movements.flaming_squirrel said:
Well the schools are now living in a state of constant fear so I can only 1/2 blame them. As Our schools seem the be the new parents and will be sued if the little angels are not treatd like royalty they are very cautious to avoid the wrath of moron parents.
The school/cops could have at least you know asked the kids if they knew what he was talking about before they said terrorist and walked away. Thus they are half guilty and the investigator and the school official who should have handled this will serve half of the sentence the teacher would have served.
The teacher will be slapped called an idiot and warned about morons who are parents/people.
the judge has spoken.
Poor guy, his career is really going to be in shit after that. No one cares if your found completely innocent, if theirs two candidates going for the same job you take the one without the criminal record 'for the kids' even if it's for talking about a videogame.
Poor poor guy, the school should hire him back if they had any decency.

I feel sorry for the teacher.
People are apparently getting even more paranoid in the US than in Mexico, and that is an interesting fact...

And thus the criminal justice system once again proves itself to be a fucking joke in a new and interesting way.
Dear Kentucky,
On behalf of all of Florida, I would like to thank you for being such fuck-ups. You see, we occasionally fuck up, and every now and then we need another state to remind us, as bad as we are, we're not the worst.
Sincerly, Thedayrecker
P.S. I'm sure South Carolina's letter is in the mail

Yeah, one of my dad's friends was fucking charged with child abuse, when his girlfriend's son got into a fight with some kid, who picked on him at school, and he didn't stop it.Crimsane said:
America... Fuck you?
That's such a ridiculous figure that you think the witness would wonder about it. If he said "I'm gonna kill that fucking kid with a knife tonight" I can see you wondering, but 500 people? Fuck.
