A Cary-Grove High School student charged with disorderly conduct for writing a violently descriptive class essay had received an assignment that said: “Write whatever comes to your mind. Do not judge or censor what you are writing.”
Allen Lee, 18, responded with passages about “shooting everyone” and having “sex with the dead bodies,” according to a disorderly conduct complaint filed Thursday by McHenry County prosecutors, Tom Carroll, the first assistant state’s attorney, said.
The State Of . . . Fear is overwhelming us. I (rich) had no idea someone could be arrested for disorderly conduct for writing something. The kid described lyrics from a Green Day song, the Stargate TV show, and
images from the video games “Super Mario Brothers”and “Goldeneye.” I understand people being paranoid but this goes to far. Like the post a few weeks back about the young girl being arrested for a temper tantrum in school, there was no intermediate step in this case. It was straight to the Police.
