An 18 year-old boy charged after writing a violent essay. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18353425/)
Authorities have filed a second disorderly conduct charge against a high school senior arrested for writing an essay officials described as disturbing and inappropriate.Allen Lee, 18, of Cary was arrested earlier this week after penning the essay at his northern Illinois high school. Lee contends he was just following the creative writing assignment he was given in class at Cary-Grove High School.
Lee initially faced just one charge, but an amended complaint filed Thursday cited a second passage.
For all you Imus supporters here is an example of an ACTUAL first amendment issue. A student being charged with a crime for something he wrote. This is actually disturbing. This could actually have very serious consequences. This you should be outraged about. I know there's no misogyny or racial humor or anything but I assure you that something like this has far more to do with the first amendment than anything that came out of Don Imus's mouth.
