When Brian Robertson was 18, he wrote a story--a fictional account of an armed invasion of his school. He was charged with a felony and could spend up to ten years in jail, if convicted.

After searching Robertson's car and his parents' home, authorities found no weapons, traces of explosive material or any other evidence that the teen was planning to attack his school.

But authorities said the story Robertson wrote was sufficient to charge him under an Oklahoma state statute, which was passed in the wake of school shootings across the country in the last few years. * 

Well, maybe it's for the best. We certainly don't want children to waste their time writing fiction anyway. All kids who write "dark" fiction should be rounded up and charged with sedition. It would solve the problem of over-crowding in schools. This is a step in the right direction, in my opinion.
