One of my (admittedly many) pet peeves is when law enforcement overreacts to a situation. Today’s example comes fro Clark County Kentucky, where an 18 year old student has been arrested for writing a story about a zombie attack on a high school. He claims that he was merely writing a short story, and that it was all taken out of context. The police call it a second degree felony.

He’s currently being held in a detention facility after his bail was raised to five thousand dollars.

I’m glad that the police and district attorney of Kentucky are occupying themselves with trying to prevent their high schools from being overrun by zombies. After all, threat of zombie attack is every bit as credible as the threat of WMDs.

Idiots.
