They worry way to much about violence in school today. To get a felony for drawings like that. I knew kids that did stuff like that all the time. I think it was more a way of getting out stress, and by doing it, I woudl say it woudl actually help prevent a violent outburst. Oh well.
When I was in Grade 4 I drew a picture of Goro from Mortal Kombat disembowling opponents with his four arms. I drew it for a villian in a fairy tale story. It had lots of blood and heads getting ripped off. Don't see why I wasn't suspended then.

I think the main reason is because I didn't draw stick figures...

Did you guys read the article? Its not just a violent drawing, apparently the kids were threatening another kid(notice the names above the stickmen). Thats why the kids were suspended and arrested.
Well, I didn't think much about 'death threat' but rather 'bullying'. The drawing did play a large part, I don't think they would get massively fucked to be charged by the legal system if it was just verbal. It's sad isn't it?
Two boys, ages 9 and 10, were charged with felonies and taken away from school in handcuffs, accused of making violent drawings of stick figures.
The boys were arrested Monday on charges of making a written threat to kill or harm another person, a second-degree felony.

back in middle school, for like 2 weeks the whole school was in a craze of making flip books. We would buy the smaller post it notes packets and jst start making them on it. Damn where som of those violent. Then we went into the hacky sacking frenzy, where you couldnt even walk in the halls w/o having a hacky sack flying at you.

Well at first the thought of kids getting arrested for a drawing was sickening. However, if they were threatening someone, that's a little different. I don't know about bringing the law into it though. Maybe just discipline them there at school *shrugs*.
