wtf? Why don't they arrest every flash animator... EVER?

this makes no sense.... except for the bit about the tears, I remember doing the same thing when I was a kid... it's a product of our society..... why are we ruining their lives over this when at the worst they need counceling?

This is absurd. they handcuff KIDS for drawing stickfigures of a stabbing and they go to jail. this is the new low of our US justice system.
The 9- and 10-year-old boys were arrested Monday and charged with making a written threat to kill or harm another person. They were also suspended from school.
Most of us wanted(in our mindz) to kill or hated someone but we still didn't kill them. This is shocking.:shocked:
 

hahahaahh
Were worried about national security while stuff like this happens.

whoever handcuffed and arrested these boys should go to jail himself for stupidity.

The boys' parents said they thought the children should be punished by the school and families, not the legal system.
no shít, first of all its the parents job, if they fail then sadly it goes to the school, and as the parents being the legal guardians then they hold the legal responsib.. baahhh... its just stupid

I thought I'd seen and read and heard it all, now this. Who exactly are these morons that turn these kids in and who are the cops that actually arrest them? I can tell you this, if I were ever asked to go pick up some kids like this and take them to the police station, there'd be hell to pay. I'd refuse flat out to do it. Then I'd get the school principal off to the side and try to reason out this issue without involving the legal system. If he refused, I'd tell him to "Go fvck himself" and wait for the fallout. This is absurd.

Now that they have them handcuffed & taken care of, they can concentrate more on the war on drugs.

Geesh, maybe make a comment to the parents that their kids are drawing inappropriate stuff, but arresting them? That is absolutely absurd, It'd be different if this was a 16 year old that put a hit-list up on the internet.

i say we throw all evil cartoonists in jail
thanks to wiley coyote i like to blow things up and draw fake holes on the ground to hurt people
there is no rehab that can help me or the cartoonists
we should be hung
we should be shot
we should run into brick walls painted to look like the horizon

This is REALLY sad.

But it's been the knee-jerk reaction ever since that spate of school shooting that ended with Columbine.

It's the same knee-kerk reactionism from the same type of people who seek to ban or limit guns every time something happens.
