Madness just utter madness

Ok, I'm back sooner than I expected but sometimes you stumble across something that is just top shelf stuff. Just came across this story through Comixpedia and I nearly cracked up. Christ only knows what they'd say if they saw some of things that I used draw, and write about, when I was that age. It's like the guy from the Comic Book Legal Defence Fund said, what young boy doesn't harbour violent fantasies? It's why we played cops and robbers and watched the A-Team. It's why video games exist. At the end there's a quote from the school system spokesman, who says he "would rather deal with the situation today and have all three of these children alive and than to deal with it after the fact and possibly having some of those kids not be alive." By having two of them arrested? Taking his job into account, I'm going to assume that he's aware of the term over-reaction. Then again, maybe if he'd been in charge when George Bush was a kid we'd be looking at a whole different world right now.
