SUMMERVILLE, SC (WCSC) -
A 16-year-old Summerville High School student says he was arrested Tuesday morning and suspended after writing about killing a dinosaur using a gun.
Alex Stone said he and his classmates were told in class to write a few sentences about themselves, and a "status" as if it was a Facebook page.
Stone said in his "status" he wrote a fictional story that involved the words "gun" and "take care of business."
"I killed my neighbor's pet dinosaur, and, then, in the next status I said I bought the gun to take care of the business," Stone said.
Stone says his statements were taken completely out of context.
"I could understand if they made him re-write it because he did have "gun" in it. But a pet dinosaur?" said Alex's mother Karen Gray."I mean first of all, we don't have dinosaurs anymore. Second of all, he's not even old enough to buy a gun."
Investigators say the teacher contacted school officials after seeing the message containing the words "gun" and "take care of business," and police were then notified on Tuesday.
Summerville police officials say Stone's bookbag and locker were searched on Tuesday, and a gun was not found.
According to Gray, Stone was suspended for the rest of the week. Gray says she is furious that the school did not contact her before her son was arrested.
She says her son followed directions and completed an assignment.

Meanwhile inner city youths who didn't chew a poptarts into the shape of a gun, didn't draw a picture of a gun, or didn't write a story about hunting dinosaurs in school are killing each other by the thousands.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

If one of my students mentions using "a gun" I dock them points.
Rifle? Shotgun? What action type? What caliber/bullet weight?
These young folks and their imprecise use of language; I won't tolerate sloppy writing.

So they are suing for false arrest? I would hope so. What was he told he was arrested for? Using the word gun in a fictional writing about extinct animals? The blind Gestapo just handcuffing people and hauling them off to jail without reason need a nice big bill to make them see the error of their ways because money is just about the only thing that grabs attention these days.
