Boy Says Perfect Day Involves Violence Against Bush

WEST WARWICK, R.I. -- A seventh-grader who wrote an essay saying his perfect day would involve doing violence to President George W. Bush is being investigated by the Secret Service.

The unidentified boy from West Warwick turned in the essay on Tuesday, and his teacher alerted school officials. The assignment was to write about what he would do on a perfect day.

Thomas M. Powers, Secret Service resident agent in charge in Providence, said the investigation is ongoing but the essay may have been a "cry for help." Threatening the president is a felony, he said.

"His perfect day would be to see the destruction of these people," Schools Superintendent David Raiche said.

Raiche said the student felt the companies were doing inappropriate things. He said the student had been barred temporarily from coming back to school, but as a mental health rather than disciplinary precaution.

The essay did not threaten anyone at the school, and did not detail specific plans for an attack, police Detective Sgt. Fernando Araujo said.

"He was writing a letter threatening everyone on the planet," School Board Chairman Daniel T. Burns Jr. said. "He was just mad at the world."

Absolutely, Koz! They should be investigating his bolshy parents...and putting him in a foster home, or better yet, some hospital where he can be deprogrammed. I find it unlikely that some welp could come up with those opinions on his own...but then, maybe he watches CNN or WGBX.

This is what all children would think if "liberals" had their way...makes you want to run right out and vote Kennedy and Kerry. I wonder if Ted has learned to swim yet...

Of course the ACLU is looking into whether his 1st AMD rights have been violated. The Anarchist Civil Liberties Union is more of a threat to this country than any terrorist.

DCS - no doubt its the failure of the Bush administration to meet the needs of the poor and oppressed that spur such visceral hatred of the President....
Roll-back the tax break, cut military funding, and increase social spending by an additional 30-40 %, that will take care of it. Yeah, thats it...

I agree:
If not his parents the school teachers and administrators. Hats off to the principal for reporting it to the SS
