I hope that day comes soon.

I could overlook and understand the grandparents desire to do the right thing, if and only if, the story wasn't an obvious attempt at fiction.

He said it was about zombies. He said he wrote it for an English class. He didn't mention anything specific.

The really sad part about this is this...
Quote:
On Thursday, a judge raised Poole's bond from one to five thousand dollars after prosecutors requested it, citing the seriousness of the charge.

Poole is being held at the Clark County Detention Center.
Seriousness of the charge? Raise Poole's bond $4000 because of the "seriousness" of the charge? Were the courts aware it was a fictional story about zombies?

I have not the words to describe how ridiculous all this is, so, I will close with perhaps my favorite line from one of my favorite fictional television shows.

"We failed both on a mechanical and human level."
