Not if these kids were being rediculous and taunting the object of thier distaste (the boy depicted) with it.

better them taunting him, rather than actually acting on their desires.

and thats what i mean. better they use pictures to express what they feel, than use knives to express how they feel

Newsflash - Odds are all of the people who posted in this thread used to draw violent things like that when they were kids. It's perfectly normal and doesn't mean they are out to kill someone.

Hell you should see some of the stuff my mom saved from when I was 10.

I can't seem to find the article, but this is similar to a case involving a kid pointing a banana at a teacher and saying "pow". The kid got suspended.

Don't mess with the man.

The boys were arrested Monday on charges of making a written threat to kill or harm another person, a second-degree felony. The special education students used pencil and red crayon to draw primitive stick figure scenes on scrap paper that showed a 10-year-old classmate being stabbed and hung, police said. "The officer found they were drawing these pictures for the sole purpose of intimidating and scaring the victim," said Ocala Police Sgt. Russ Kern. The boy depicted in the drawings told his teacher, who took the sketches and contacted the school dean, Marty Clifford. Clifford called police, who arrested the boys after consulting with the State Attorney's Office. They were also suspended from school. One drawing showed the two boys standing on either side of the other boy and "holding knives pointed through" his body, according to a police report. The figures were identified by written names or initials. Another drawing showed a stick figure hanging, tears falling from his eyes, with two other stick figures standing below him. Other pieces of scrap paper listed misspelled profanities and the initials of the boy who was allegedly threatened. Parents of both of the arrested boys said they thought the boys should be punished by the school and families, not the legal system.

That is so ridiculous. And I'm really getting pissed about the hysterical, over dramatic, over medicated, self help book, paranoia infested ranks that seem to be assimilating my fellow Americans like in one of those old school sci-fi movies. I swear somewhere in this country (New Jersey, I think) normal, reasonable and generally sane people are being stolen away, and are being systematically replaced by ultra-mega-sissiesare being hatched from space pods and are now taking over the population. There is some contraption spitting out drones like those types who charge 10 year olds with a felony, or sick the lawyers on you if your coffee is too hot... you know the type. I don't know if you have that problem in Canada or not, but it's really starting to bug me.

whew... Pardon my rant...

I had a similar experience in school - though I wasn't cool enough to get any jail time, a rather bizarre drawing got me into much trouble.... and now I make art for a living (insert a middle finger to my art teacher here ). Funny how things work out

Oh they have the same problem here in Canada.

The problem is that the government here the one actually implementing it.

Brought to you by the same Liberist ideologies that banned the Lord's Prayer and reading of Holy Bibles on school grounds no doubt...
