Wow. Okay, the kid was a real sicko for writing about what he did, but seriously, exactly what crime is being committed here? An obvious violation on his rights to free expression here, even if it wasn't a "creative writing". I might understand the school and the Marine Corps being concerned and maybe their rights as organizations to punish him in their own jurisdiction (maybe suspension from school, and in this case refused admittance to the Marine Corps)....but criminal charges? That doesn't seem right. Not right at all. There must be something missing from this story...
