Student arrested for writing zombie fiction

From All Flesh Must Be Eaten: a high school student was arrested for writing zombie fiction. The authorities claim the story “outline[s] possible acts of violence aimed at students, teachers, and police.” The police have admitted they know it’s fiction, but still consider it a felony. A judge raised the student’s bond from one thousand to five thousand dollars, because of the “seriousness” of the charges.

Furrfu, what does it say about the world when I can’t decide whether to file a story under “Politics” or “Zombies”? I guess, as Lori said, if you let a child write zombie fiction, it could lead to an unhealthy adult obsession ;)
