The murders in question -- the mass murders in our schools -- are often preceded by writings about such fantasies. That's why we don't take such writings lightly.

Don't get pedantic on me or I'll nail you with all the pea-shooter intellect I have at my disposal.

And actually, "fantasy" is a better description than "fiction". And, to go back to the origins of this thread -- there was no such assignment for a fictional writing of this sort. It is easy to assume that these writings should not be dismissed, rather, investigated as though they may be fantsy writings of another murderous youth.
