RedEyedGhost Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 about a school shooting, set in the year 2802. From the video it looks like it's a pretty terrible self-pub book, but that shouldn't be cause for "an emergency medical evaluation" and sweeping the school for bombs and guns.

Fragile Bird Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Well, obviously this 23 year-old pervert was just living out the sick fantasies that he was about to carry out against the children and teacher's of Lane Middle School. Thank goodness someone discovered he had published the blueprint of his planned massacre. Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1918me Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Clearly, we can't allow self-published authors anywhere near our children! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkerX Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Saw this late last night on another site. Almost posted it. If publishing a not-so-great SF novel is now a crime, then we have boarders here looking at prison time. 'Densterbog' (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnionAhaiReborn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't know, read the first few sentences of this guy's novel and then tell me you don't want to prevent him from teaching English to young people by any pretext available. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagilki Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Teachers should NOT be writing anything. I don't want the people responsible for raising my (non existent) kids to spend any time writing. Teach them important things, like how to bow down to our future Chinese overlords.

emberling Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 This hit my twitter yesterday-ish and my mind just refused to process it as potential fact. It's like something that would happen in a terrible self-pub modern dystopia novel which I would metaphorically throw across the room for being entirely unbelievable. All I can say is what the fucking fuck and then a whole lot more words with fuck in them somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnionAhaiReborn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Do you have a link to an extract of this book because I've searched high and low and can't find a thing....Also now that I think about it this may have been his plan all along. I mean look at the publicity it's garnered...Clever man, all it cost him was his freedom.Worth it!!! You can read the first few pages here.

Larry of the Lawn Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Can't see how this would stand up in court. The teacher won't be alive in 2802 to put his.story into action. Any judge and jury would see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Et Cetera the Mouse Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I honestly can't decide whether to laugh or be angry that someone could take this seriously. I can understand some very small measure being taken, but a search and mental evaluation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solmyr Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 If this guy's work about a school shooting landed him into such a mess, I can only imagine what would occur if Stephen King went to teach in a school. They'd need a whole new Guantanamo Bay just to contain his evil! ETA: Just read details about the story, apparently his book depicted the largest school shooting in the history. Well now we know, who ratted him out - the current record holder for the largest school shooting. Honestly, people can be so petty sometimes ...

You know what they say: dystopian fiction is when white people have to deal with things that black people already have to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
