Another in a series of paranoia induced freak outs, comes the news that a student attending Clements High School in Fort Bend, Texas was arrested for making a Counter-Strike map based on his school. The map was intended for use solely amongst the creator and his friends, but was discovered by concerned parents who then contacted the authorities.
As a result of this, the student has been placed in an alternative education program and is not allowed to attend his graduation with his peers. The original article contains a bit more detail, but due to high traffic the site may not work when you click to read.
A follow-up article states that they found swords in the student's room, though it is reported these were purely decorative. In addition, the school administration placed this issue at a "Level 3" meaning that "a student engages in conduct relating to a false alarm or report (including a bomb threat) or a terroristic threat involving a public school." Police officials also forced the student to delete the map and uninstall Counter-Strike from his computer.
"They arrested him," Chen said of FBISD police, "and also went to the house to search." The Lin family consented to the search, and a hammer was found in the boy's room, which he used to fix his bed, because it wasn't in good shape, Chen said. He indicated police seized the hammer as a potential weapon.
"They decided he was a terroristic threat," said one source close to the district’s investigation.
Wow, a terrorist? Are you serious? I have a screw driver in my desk drawer that I use to tighten the screws on my computer chair every so often. I also play CS. I am not a terrorist, and neither is that student. A special thanks to my fiancee, Dani, for bringing this news to my attention.
