CLARK COUNTY
Student Arrested For Terroristic Threatening Says Incident A Misunderstanding
Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Version
A George Rogers Clark High School junior arrested Tuesday for making terrorist threats told LEX 18 News Thursday that the "writings" that got him arrested are being taken out of context.Winchester police say William Poole, 18, was taken into custody Tuesday morning. Investigators say they discovered materials at Poole's home that outline possible acts of violence aimed at students, teachers, and police.
Poole told LEX 18 that the whole incident is a big misunderstanding. He claims that what his grandparents found in his journal and turned into police was a short story he wrote for English class.
"My story is based on fiction," said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies."
Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill.
Poole disputes that he was threatening anyone.
"It didn't mention nobody who lives in Clark County, didn't mention (George Rogers Clark High School), didn't mention no principal or cops, nothing,"
said Poole. "Half the people at high school know me. They know I'm not that stupid, that crazy."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.
Not ONLY is it a thought crime, but also... just... are they seriously thinking that he is plotting to attack his high school with an army of the undead? Zaza fucked around with this message on 03-01-2005 at 04:17 AM.

Nah, they're good people. The authorities know that. It's just a few bad apples that indescriminantly cause massive zombie plagues, and the media harps on those as if it happens all the time so they get a bad rep with the ignorant masses.
Like you. Asshole.
Retarded, yes. Shocking or unexpected? No.

Fine fine, but you will never see a zombie in office, you hear me? Never.

All I have to say is this: What the fuck?
This is almost as bad as goth kids in my school drinking each others blood and calling themselves Daywalkers.
I'll probably be printing this out though, because my Government/Politics/Economy teacher gets a kick out of reading stuff like this.

This joke sucks. >:(
Seriously though, crimerate has skyrocketed in Kentucky lately. Especially violent crimes around schools.
Examples:
-Earlier this year, there was a group of kids planning to attack certain kids in the building with guns.
-Last year, same thing almost happened near the end of the school year.
-There was a stabbing in my middle school, apparently some psycho kid who had an obsession with knives flipped out on a random student.
-There was a gun fight a short distance away from a high school not too long ago.
-Etc.

To your what the fuck, a what the fuck, sirrah.
How is writing a story anywhere near as bad as drinking blood?

The story is clearly painting a negative stereotype on the living impaired. Drinking blood is just a childish phase.

Hey, kids need more encouragement to take up exercise. Why not take up a defensive sport, like track? And what better motivator than a ball of lead flying at 500 fps?
I say it's good for 'em!

Hmm. Good point.
I think when I typed that though I meant "Almost as stupid" (and when I mean almost as stupid, I'm talking about the kid being arrested) but I didn't type that. Yeah.
Yeah, they got suspended and the story went around the school quick. Now its pretty much a big joke among students in the senior class. Willias fucked around with this message on 03-02-2005 at 09:44 AM.
Anyways, the whole "Daywalker" thing has become a big joke at our school. Apparently there were goth kids drinking each others blood in the bathroom, and were caught doing so. When one of them was confronted in the office on why the hell they were doing it, he said that they were Daywalkers and that there were more like them.

Ah, but there's so many more chance for them to miss when you're outside, as opposed to in a hallway or classroom. I may not be a sprinter, but I'd still prefer the chance to head for the bushes or get a few trees between me and any flying projectiles.
