The 15-year-old's artwork depicted George W. Bush as the devil launching missiles, while another picture showed Bush's head on a pike. The student was questioned, but not arrested. http://www.ncbuy.com/news/2004-04-27/1009482.html =============================================== Looks to me like the cops and Secret Service were simply doing the job they are expected to do. The school voiced concerns and the Secret Service is obligated to check out threats to the president that are brought to their attention, even if it looks like a waste of time going in. However, they never know when they may have another Hinkley on their hands, so they have to at least make contact and get some kind of impression. This sounds exactly like what they did - made the mandatory standard contact with the kid and left it at that. The big question is why did the school notify the police over this kid's artwork? The school is probably more familiar with the kid than the police or feds. Now why would the school, who is presumably familiar with the kid, call the cops? Hmmmm... -=jd=- One word will answer it ...... LIABILITY. If the kid does anything violent and it is found the school saw his pictures and did nothing they become, in our society, the responsible party. In my days as a student, the teacher would've notified the Principal and they would've called the parents ........ but that was back when a higher percentage of parents actually parented. Well, that's my take on it. Howard |

The Liberal View will apparently not be satisfied with anything less than Bush's head on a pike. Actually, I think they'd be satisfied with RUMSFELD'S head on a pike... I think most folks would be satisfied with a hot poker up Frank White's ass. |

Liability could be part of it. It could also be the kid has given the teachers reason to be concerned about him before. We will probably never know exactly. He was checked out and that appears to be the end of it. As far as I'm concerned, it's a non-issue. -=jd=- -- There may be more to it.. but there doesn't have to be. When I was in high school, back in the early 70's, there were a lot of bomb threats happening in places all over the country.. Our prinicipal was a moron, and very long winded. He would spend 15 minutes on the PA each morning droning on and on about some sort of useless drivel that neither us nor the teachers wanted to hear. Well, I had an extremely rare moment of inspiration, and drew a crude political cartoon combining these two issues. In the first panel, the front of the school was shown, with a speech bubble showing the principal prattling on. Second panel was much the same (blah blah blah hadn't been invented yet, so I used some of his actual droning). Third panel showed the school going up with a big boom. Fourth one showed a PA speaker dangling by it's wires from a column in the middle of the mess, still droning.. and then ending up by saying "Oh, yes, and by the way, we've had a bomb threat." The cartoon was meant to make light of the principal and his lack of priority and boring nature, but my homeroom teacher didn't think much of it. She confiscated it, and the next thing I knew, I was talking to FBI agents from Portland.. And I was a B+ average student, and never caused any sort of trouble.. how much more 'cautious' must schools be now... :( |

That's a pretty observant cartoon. You may have missed your calling. mike |

This sort of Action by the US Secret Service for a Long Long Time. STORY: A 'little' Kid wrote a letter to the US President. In the Letter the Kid said that the she was Mad at the President because the her Daddy had lost his Job. NOTE: The Father had been saying that he had lost his Job 'becasue of the US President's Economic Policies. FWIW: The US President was "IKE" in the 1950s. And Now You Know....
