But according to Timmering and his parents, the Northport High School student was simply designing his own first-person shooter game and exercising his freedom of speech. According to the report, two teacher's aides also overheard Timmering talking about his ideas for a shooting game. Although the ideas were alarming, Timmering admitted that he had never thought of putting his ideas into action.
Just late last Monday, Timmering made bail and is now free from jail. Timmering's parents have claimed that the events and arrests were politically driven, although the school district said that they had to take every potential threat seriously, even if they claimed they had no way of knowing whether or not TimmeringÂ’s ideas were just harmless creativity or an actual plan for another school shooting massacre.

The would then see a kid has just made a map resembling the real world it's not like they would ever arrest tony hawks for depicting a school or any of the other companies or kids at home who created content resembling real life.
That kid should be suing the school board for false arrest and emotional trauma, in a legal sense he never made any kind of threat so I don't see how he was even arrested. So maybe there's also something we aren't being told.
but if this kid was only spoken to I'm sure they could of ascertained the truth, instead of jumping the gun.

Yes the school system jumped the gun, they could have brought him in for questioning or to a psycologist, something... The first resort was an arrest?
We just dont know what the f*ck we're doing over here do we?

At the same time, what if he really was going to use it for practiced killing? A few posters before me have it right: should have been brought in for a psychological evaluation before being arrested. So, be original, but be careful.
And school officials? Seriously, you need to find a happy medium in common sense between "Oh, no one will ever shoot the school up" and "OMG EVERY KID HAS T3H GUN5555."
