A senior from a Texas high school will not be going to his graduation ceremony after designing 3D levels of his school in a shooting game.
Officers came into his home and reportedly found five swords which they deemed a level 3 terrorist threat. Since then, the unnamed man had been transferred to an "alternate education facility"

“The minute we dont (take something serious), something serious is going to happen,” a member of the school’s district administration said. “Youre damned if you do, and damned if you dont.””
All they care about is covering their ass.
“What would YOU think if you found a shooting game on your son’s or daughter’s computer and your home was the floorplan?”
That my toddlers were brilliant. Amazing for kids that are barely potty trained!
Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See Hysteric.] (Med.) A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women, in which the emotional and reflex excitability is exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished, so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into paroxism or fits. [1913 Webster] Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing, and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the throat. The affection presents the most varied symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment alone. Hysteric
How many kids used the mods programs to put in teachers or administrators or friends in Doom or Castlewolfenstein?
Unless these jackbooted thought police school administrators found a Super Delux Zapomatic Deathray in the kids closet there is no actual ability to carry out the game.
(mens rea and actus rea for those lawyers from rio linda)
I hope this kid sues the pants off the school.
BTW, that definition of hysteria is a little dated only in that hysteria is no longer limited “almost exclusively in women.” SNAGs (sensitive new age “guys”—especially male feminists) would be included now.
My buddy & I were going to model a local university campus (I went there - he worked there). It's just kinda cool to see familiar territory in a game. It's kind of like flying over your town in flight simulator. It has nothing to do with being sick in the head.
Oh oh. That’s scary.
That makes three of us......
:)
Golly, I wonder what level terror threat it would have been if they had gone through this at my first year of high school.
The first week of school each new student was required to draw a precise map, to scale, of the entire campus and be able to give precise directions to every room of every building and know what that room was for.
And every one of us had an M-1 military rifle which had to be either in our hands, or secured in our own lockers. Some of us were required to have swords and/or bayonets too!
Admittedly, this was a military school, and it was considered part of turning us all into competent, decent American citizens, and hopefully, most of us into military officers.
I imagine that any public school administrator or teacher today would literally wet themselves over the mere thought of something like this.
Yet there was not one murder or attempted murder amongst the student body during the 5 years that I was there. (It was combined High School and Junior College.)
Very good point.
Yes, they are called government schools.
They are almost always, with almost no exception, the largest, most expensive buildings in any neighborhood. Many look like the prisons that they really are.
I mean this kind of P-90
When the F***ing hell are we gonna get our SANE society back from the freaks? I mean the control freaks and nanny staters and idiot who think HRC and Obama are the Second Coming?
Great minds think alike : )
But of COURSE! :)
So how does this scale work? Would a broad ax be considered a level 2 threat or a level 4? How about a wizard's staff? Do Elvish blades carry any enhancement on this scale?
What if...what if.... but he didn’t and I wouldn’t have my kid in a school for nuthin. Oh wait, maybe for one reason.
If it meant i could get a different choice chosen, that’s the ONLY way I would. Then i would. Only then. (private school)
:D
shhhh. don’t tell or they’ll be coming after her next.
ooooh, i’m tellllllinnnnnnnnnn
