An 18-year-old US student is today behind bars after police uncovered his plot to raise a zombie army and attack his high school. The wannabe Papa Doc Duvalier's chilling plan was uncovered after the youth's grandparents discovered his written proposal for the outrage in Winchester, Kentucky.

the whole thing is stupid. like my mom said last week when i told her "what about Buffy [the Vampire Slayer]?" i think she even said she hopes the kid gets a lot of money when/if he sues the cops/state.
it's the grandparents who need the psychiatric help. sensationalist news reports about school shootings and terror plots have obviously made them parnoid.
in one of my high school english classes we had to write a story placing ourselves or another person in the Civil War. some the stuff that was written would have made #model_design proud and i didn't see anyone arrested over that.
i was wondering when it was going to make national/international news outlets...
this is truely dumb. dumb dumb dumb. I've read about things like this happening in china during the peoples uprising, is this a future shock of things to come?
Whats a Journal for? to put in all your thoughts and ideas. Unless your ideas are strictly terroristic or for some "Real" crime, then take action. It realy sickens me to think how when I was a Kid, I was bought cap guns, bow and Arrows, play knives, and bb guns, on birthdays and holidays, now all these items are Illegal to buy.
Anyone ever watch "Equilibrum"? prety soon will be living it.
SUPER.
If his story includes an intentional mass killing, then that could be constituted as a 'terrorist threat', provided you are a suspicous paranoid with no imagination. Because otherwise, the plan would be to raise the zombie army using existing corpses, right? Which would mean that the 'threat' would be the mass Voodoo ritual -- and that would require the local laws to recognize Voodoo resurrection as a legitimate threat the the population.
I'm just sayin'.
Also, please do not let it go unrecognized that the Register write up is dripping with its own rich sarcasm: "Accordingly, a judge last week reflected the seriousness of threatening your high school with annihilation at the hands of the undead by raising Poole's bond from one to five thousand dollars at the request of prosecutors. "
Oh, man. How long will it be before someone steps in and points out that the Winchester authorities are a bunch of inbred waterhead yokels? Will they ever?

Zombies are just too slow moving and stupid to do an effective takeover. Amateur. Now if he would have said vampire, werewolf, or demon army, I would have taken him seriously.
Kids now days... Sheesh.
Where the fuck is the voice of reason in that legal system? Jeezuz, I would be behind my child 100%.
When he gets out of that mess, he should move to a city, Get away from idiotsville.
Something I thought was funny from that article:
"Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky."
You're not allowed to possess matter involving a school! It's against the law! What matter? Eh?
Ryno is totally right. Werewolves would do the job a lot better. However, I guess they are harder to come by than zombies, these days.

Gargoyle squads would the best choice imo, they fly and rape things like polycounters
Then again there's little interest in that lately and zombies are overrated with these zombie movies, games and mods and such, zombies will never die (then again they're already dead so that makes sense)
What, the story or Cheapy's plan?
Wings3dee: Ah, yes, that action movie that stole its storyline together from 1984 and Brave New World, right?
if you're going for a nevul army to destroy your school, you should be selling your sole to the blood god, Khorne, and asking for a squad of beserker chaos marines in return.
oo, and try to get him to chuck in a defiler, +10 points for a havoc launcher...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!
Yeah, Equilibrium was cool as an action movie but as an utopian movie? Naah. (Though I don't quite see what they stole from Matrix, there was no mysticism, machines or bullet time involved)

Trenchcoats and dual handguns. Of course, The Matrix ripped that from John Woo, who arguably took it from Sergio Leone, etc etc. I bet Christian Bale would have made a good Neo...
Okay, hands up, who else wrote cheap action-bloodbath stories about students packing full-auto heat in a high school world gone horribly wrong? (my hand goes up)
Who featured their own alter-ego, and those of friends, in said stories? (my hand remains up)
Who wrote, finished, and won a prize in a school-district literature competition with one of these stories? (my hand is still up)
((Admittedly, that story didn't involve shooting any people, although it did feature my friend and I nearly shot to death by automated security bots. And this was in 1984.))

Winchester is about 40 - 45 miles from me. just outside of Lexington, probably the biggest city in KY. so this isnt some little hick ass town out in the middle of nowhere.
i wonder what trouble my highschool junior english teach would have gotten into over our 1920's Rent Party stories where every student was pushing the bounds of good taste...
dont blame Kentucky.. just the rednecks who live here. ;p
Things didn't go over too well, though. As it turned out.. my highschool was full of necrophiles. They just ended up having sex with the zombies all over the school.
Ever seen a female zombie scream during an orgasm? It's crazy stuff.
I eventually got in trouble and got told by the principal to cast Pheonix Downs on all the zombies.
Oh well.

haha - yeah, sorry man. They keep coming across the border here, tearing ass up the freeways in rusted Ford trucks with "#3" decals on the windows and nothing resembling an exhaust system, generally causing calamity, so maybe I'm a bit prejudiced against my earthy cousins from the south.
