(May 14) -- A 14-year-old autistic boy in Georgia faces felony charges of making terroristic threats after he drew a stick-figure version of himself firing a gun at his teacher.
After discovering the crudely rendered drawing that Shane Finn had made on his classwork, officials at Atlanta's Ridgeview Charter School suspended the eighth-grader and decided to pursue charges against him, Fox News in Atlanta reported.

Anybody remember singing in grade school "On Top of Old Smokey"? We'd be jailed for that now.
Fits the profile.
Cripes, this was Shane Finn, not Sinn Fein...and Georgia, not Belfast...WTF...when is this madness going to end...the kid is autisitic for Cripes sake...the LAST thing he needed was this shit.
Hmmmm, kid draws stick picture of him shooting teacher.....felony, man makes movie about assassinating Bush.....praise and adulation.
On top of that, I wonder if he’s a member of that terrorist organization Finn Shane.
Good thing the (failed) NYC SUV bomber doesn’t go to that school. Imagine the trouble he’d be in!!! /sarc
>>>>This boy has an IQ of 75, equal that of a 3rd grader
That doesn’t matter. They think he is a tea partier.
There seems to be a lot of prosecutors in this country with an IQ of 75.
I have to agree. I found one sentence on Fox that says felony charges have now been filed.
The damned schools! What’s the litmus test for teachers these days? And why did the boy have negative feelings for this one? God knows. And He will judge.
Felony charges, any charges, 3rd grade; really?
For what, freedom of expression, self-actualization, being artistic this is nothing more than an abuse by the cowardly.
As for “ that sweeping, zero-tolerance [attitude] members of government education should be charged with incompetence, negligence and fraud, locked up for a minimum of a year based on being part of a conspiracy to destroying Americas future; before going after the client.
I believe he wrote his name above the stick figure that had the gun, and the name of the teacher above the one the gun was pointed at.
He wrote “me” over the one with the gun and “Hartman” over the other figure. There’s a pic of it at the link.
It is gratifying to see that the authorities have finally mustered the courage to label somebody a ‘terrorist”.
His mother said he has trouble with expressing frustration. If he’s autistic, he has trouble expressing anything. And we know why he’s frustrated. The teacher’s an idiot.

These idiots are INSANE!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school
We have marched up to the office and we hung the principle
We have tortured all the teachers, we've broken every rule
The school is burning down.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Teacher hit me with a ruler
I met her at the door with a pistol 44 now she don't teach no more.
