Waaaagh!

Chalk up another one to stupid...

So this highschool kid makes a quake mod map...
and uses his school...

and the school district throws him into 'special ed'
and the police come in, search his room, and take a hammer they find there as some sort of 'weapon'

Ok - once - i thought maybe, just maybe, we could rely on people's common sense to get us through some of this idiotic FUD crap being thrown at us. I thought 'well, people are smart enough... there are enough people in the equation that they wont do stupid things... someone will intervene and stop the stupid before it gets out of control' I think the best evidence that i should have known better was the mooninite invasion of boston - and the reaction by the mayor and police chief after the fact. They werent even willing to stand up and say 'we're being idiots'. See - that's the danger... the FUD creates a blanket out, a giant excuse for behaviors that would otherwise result in repercussions.

This kid didnt do anything wrong - and he's being punished. Would he be punished if he wasn't chinese? Or if he were the mayor's son? Some day we need to wake up from this self-inflicted nightmare.
